WoW RAF - Fastest possible duo to 60?

[Rudi89]

I might think about what duo would be most efficient at training skills and moving around. I don't know about other folks but with the 3x XP quests I find that a proportionally large amount of my time is spent going and getting trained.

Also class-specific quests are a pretty major slowdown on the leveling process in my experience.

Because of these two factors I would think that leveling two mages should be looked at as they can easily port to a trainer and hearth back and they don't have class-specific quests that need to be done for stances or totems or forms or whatever.

I actually found the class specific quests on hunter / lock alright. But with it being the RaF my main account (with the hunter) has my lvl 70's on, so I was using my lvl 70's to quick mount to the areas to get the items from, then using the summon friend feature to summon the lock and then the hunter would summon back. With the RaF summon friend it is the toon that does the summoning that suffers the 1 hour delay which means if you have 3 70's that's 3 summons you can use per hour

However, when i'm powerlevelling (which I was in this case) I don't really bother with class quests, I do them when I get to max level (or get bored one night). Another bad thing about class quests in RaF is that a class quest can put as much as 75% of a level (I found) even at high levels (lvl 40+) which can cause problems if one of your characters is higher than the other. It can really mess up the XP you are getting for quests as if a quest is trivial to one person in the party then triple xp does not apply.

Edit: I should also add, that I only trained new skills every 10 levels to speed up leveling!

Darkshore and Azshara - 25

You mean Ashenvale instead of Azshara I assume.

On RaF Questing is optimal. Triple XP on quests means you're only doing around 5 quests per level right the way up to 60. I didn't do any grinding. I specifically just did "Kill 10 of this type" quests or "Collect the blah blah from tumtum's dead body" you know the type! I did do a few quests that were "Collect X items" But only when I knew the items were good drop rates or the quest led on to bigger and better things.

I did something very similar with 5 toons last week. Started them on a Friday, next Saturday they were 60 with 2 days, 4 hours /played. Could have cut off a few hours if I hadn't done those darn totem quests. These were on a new server and I'd never played horde before, so I'm sure someone who knew what they were doing could do much better.

Skip all non-kill or non-get-one-item quests and RAF will move you up very efficiently.

Oh, and I'd vote hunter/hunter as well - I started another group of 5 different classes yesterday and the hunter has almost twice the DPS of any other toon.

my 2 for duo i like are warr/mage (could be palyy i guess but i have one of those) and priest/lock. with tank/mage I can send tank in and just grab agro with t/clap and rotate sunder on each toon, then mage goes in and just AOE's, now this does require the tank to have training and decent level appropriate gear, when leveling with RAF i found that that was not always the case, cause you level so fast. I am at 51 with the tank/mage right now with 1 day 15hrs /played. Priest/lock I did long long time ago, back before I was anywhere near good at dualboxing, i gave the priest/account to my cousin, i am thinking of doing it again once my mage/tank is 60

I'm glad to see that this thread is churning out a lot of good information. Keep it coming!

I decided last night to revisit my Warr/Priest duo. After spending about 2 hours setting up AHK, macros and Synergy I think I've nailed it down to a bit of a science. It still takes quite some time to kill anything 3-5 levels higher than me, but the Warr is Fury spec for DPS and the Priest is Discipline/Shadow spec for Buffs/Wand Spec.

The problem I've run into in Ghostlands at level 24, is that I've run out of quests. Being relatively new, I'm not sure where to find kill quests at this level for Horde. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[JoKer76]

My Warr/Priest duo is now lvl 29. The only problem I'm having is that I feel like I'm running all over to get and complete quests.

Tauajo, Tarren Mill, Ashenvale, Stonetalon ...

Are there any good zones where I can get 4-5 levels without having to travel all over the world?

I started out with a mage+druid combo but then decided that I would rather have a rogue + druid first. I would have to say rogue+druid is ownage for several reasons.

1) You have Heals over time meaning you can easily just pop renew on the run and healing never really seems that inconvenient even if your rogue is your main control 90% + of the time.

2) You have double stealth you can easily just stealth through certain areas if your too impatient to clear and head directly to the quest objectives.

3) Rogues damage and stunlocks own period. Your rogue can pretty much handle the dps by himself. If you get your druid decently geared out he can pretty much dps constantly too via wrath/moonfire/starfire. If you get really used to the combo you can even have the druid go into cat form for a rogue sap + druid backstabs. The druid can steal aggro from the rogue quite a bit making the rogue assassination tree very viable as you can constantly backstab for critical damage.

4) Druid buffs and debuffs compliment rogue very well. Faerie fire reduces armor so that rogues can instantly pwn. Rogues also have sap and blind making pretty much any PVE encounter easy mode.

5) This duo will require some careful keybindings but it is very very powerful as I am often taking on 4-5 mobs at a time with ease. The rouge generally is about 60-70% of the damage when the druid is not in cat form. The druid can even overtake the rogue in DPS if you are very good with the double melee.

This combo is just pretty leet.... no downtime, multiple CC, buffs, debuffs, good dps, great survivability, stealth... pretty much everything.

Leaving my mage behind though, may try to dual box him along with a priest however I don't think that combo would be as good due to the squishyness and mana dependency.
