Well here's a better question for you. Can a pally really tank at the low levels? Like lvl 20 for Deadmines and lvl 25 for Stockades? They don't get their good tanking abilities until later... right?
I'm thinking I like the idea of 1 priest, 1 pally, 2 mages, 1 warlock. Really sucks, because I have 4 locks sitting at lvl 14 heh.
Im not sure really I lvl my chars a bit diff than most here .. Im an outcast
What, did you level them in smaller groups? I have a lvl 30 pally on one of my accounts. I might just run a 1priest, 2lock, 2mage group up until level 30 and then ditch the locks. I hope a 2 voidwalkers can handle tanking VC and Stockades.
Paladins can start tanking at level 20.
Any dps class i lvl by just having a healer tag along behind them and letting them run wild... I also have a mage at ea 10 lvls starting at 20..(20 30 40 50 60 70) allows me to 3 box.. healing and dps with the pled char getting full solo xp (out of grp). Normally takes just under 5 days played per char to 70 (and that's not pushing it, Im too old to stay up 3 or 4 days straight to see how fast i could make it happen).
Really? 5 days /played to 70? I didnt start "boxing" until I had 60's and 70's, and my quickest to 60 was 6 days. I wonder if I can get 5 chars to 70 in under 8 days played.
I'm just gonna level my 2 locks, 2 mages, 1 priest until 30, then ditch a lock for my already lvl30 pally. Heroics here I come.
Im not saying my way is the right way etc..Im just a lazy slacker and dont enjoy running 5 chars lvling. On top of that, I really already have my basic grp set ups (27 70s atm) and only lvl a new char when i want to try something new for giggles. That being said, lvling up is still one of my favorite things to do (yeh Im a freak).
Hes mistaken, without some sort of serious assistance and an aoe class you will not hit lvl 70 in 5 days. I believe the record for lvl60 is still 4 days 20 hours isnt it?Originally Posted by Gallo
Though with the newest patching coming up making the leveling process easier I cant say for sure how that would go.
5 days to 70 should be doable if you got everything lined up for (effective) boosting.
I have a few ideas on tanking. I have chosen paladin for many reasons, but the primary reason is micro. You can micro a paladin tank optimally with very little effort. A warrior has more tools, and needs more gcd's to tank optimally, but a warrior has lower threat than a paladin. We have a paladin tank in the guild, and he's easily twice the tps than our warriors, even on singletarget. The 2.3 patch will make warrior slightly less microintensive with the added sunder armor in the devastate talent (Is this talent change already added perhaps? I can't remember). But sunder armor isn't needed when you run a setup like mine with only caster dps.
I don't know much about the mechanics of druid tanking, but it's not as micro intensive as warrior. A druid gets huge dodge rating, but this pushes out normal hits, and your left with crits/crushing blows. So when the druid needs healing, it usually needs "OH SHIT!!" healing. This isn't such a big deal for heroics I guess, more of a problem in later raid instances.
Basically I'm going for efficiency. Consecrate/Shield blocks lets me focus tanking and dps on one target so the mob dies fast. The faster you're able to reduce the groups, the less healing the tank will need, the faster you'll have control of the situation etc. Healer aggro is an issue with warrior tank, this in turn causes dps aggro issues due to the warrior needing to spread out his threat on multiple targets. I don't know...it's just hard work to tank as warrior. A warrior is huge on bosses though...Shield Wall, Last Stand is the shit.

..no mistake just take the time to set up your pl'ers and anyone can do it...Id assume thats how the "paid for pling" grps do it, but I dont know.. You get full xp for all kills at a hugely accelerated rate. (the 4 day thing to 60 was totally solo if i remem right? could be wrong thinking it was a rogue?) Just think of it this way... solo xp for a trio kill rate. Also means I hit 70 in nagrand and have the last 3 zones to grind quest for gold and epic flyers if so inclined.
