Combat Tactics

[DeeBye]

Hi,

I would say that there are no strategic decision in a game like WoW.  All the decisions are tactical. The strategy is completely governed by the need to level and the size of the mobs you can handle.  You have scant choices (to quest or to grind, to rest or not).  As to the rest, such as what attacks and formations to use against what mobs, that is tactical -- it can be figured out once, practiced, and used repeatedly.

I pretty much agree. The gameplay (especially the battles) in WoW is more akin to a turn-based RPG than an action RPG. If you think along those lines, it's pretty clear that tactics and not strategy are important. Once you're in a battle, there are limited options. It's all about the preparation before a battle that will determine how successful you are.
