Spell Power and Attack Power

Spell power and attack power. Not to be confuse with each other. Spell power only applies to the spell casting class like mage, warlock, balance druid, elemental shaman, priest and etc. Basically anything has to do with spells. Attack power only applies to range weapons damage and melee weapon damage. Like a warrior, rogue, hunter etc. Basically any class that use their weapon for fighting.

My husband and I have been playing WoW since the game came out. Although we are never one of those hard core raiders, we still know our game very well. We simply enjoy playing the game with each other and with our online friends. Due to server lag issue, we recently started playing on another server. One thing we noticed is that there are A Lot of inexperience players out there. We are not talking about lowbies players, we are talking about the 60s, 70s and 80s players. This is all thank to Blizzard fast tracking in leveling, these players have no time to learn how to play their class properly.

Not to be mean or anything, but there are players out there who doesn't even know the difference between spell power gears and attack power gears. We met a priest who's wearing attack power gears on her. Yikes!! Attack power is useless for a priest, it does nothing to boost your spell power. Unless you are going to club your enemy to death with your main weapon, you best stick with your spell casting and go with spell power gears. Then there's a rogue with spell power gears on. lol

So Spell Power = spell casting class

Attack Power = melee and range weapon class

Not to be confuse with each other!
