After 5 hours.....experience so far

Call of Water may be ridiculous, but Call of Air is trivially easy to make up for it.

call of water totem quest is not nearly as stupid as druid water form questline, now that is moronic. at least you get ghost wolf at 20 makeing things easyer.

the aquatic form was indeed stupid but it was not utterly painful. atleast the aquatic quest was easy and quick. the call of water quest was very much the opposite...

ratchet.. to brine, to brine, to TM, to brine, to ashenvale, to brine, to sepulchur, to brine, to ratchet.


not to mention my entire 5pack getting flamestriked by an gnome ganking iun TM lol.

However, it was worth it, you would not beleive how OP 5 healing stream totems are, it trivialized almost every encounter I was working on. (WC/SFK) it got to the point where I would just pull groups of 4-6 elites and just melee them down, almost never having to heal lol. Rather than having to pull as few as possible.

Currently working on BFD now. likely wont stay here very long before I move to RFK

side note.. whoever designed the call of water quest line for shamans deserves to be bludgeoned to death by brady game guides...

I second that >.<

Personally I leveled my 5 toons by hand up to 15, and im pretty sure it saved me time. Once I hit 15 I raped rfc a few times and was soon 17 and went to WC for a few levels. With my pala tank and 4 shammys (1 of them is resto) Ive pretty much been able to clear each instance at its reccomended start level.

Hi Clone,


Did you have trouble holding aggro with your pally tank at lv 15 in rfc with 4 shammy nuking stuff down? I have the same setup as you 1 pally / 4 shammy and all chars are now lv 11. Just a few more till I can hit RFC. :twisted:

You think the horde Water quest is bad try Draenei's...you have to run to the most remote corner of the draenei island(and I literally mean run, it's nowhere effing near the fp, and UNDER EFFING WATER SURROUNDED BY MURLOCS to boot, before you get waterbreathing) then go to a slightly higher lvl area in ashenvale, both of which are in different zoneservers altogether so you get to ride an effing boat a few times and ugh god I Hated it with a capital H lol

Anyways back to the topic...yeah, lvling sucks early on cuz the new exp patch only applies from lv20 quests onwards, and most classes don't bloom in their power till 20ish; after that though you'll be plowing through stuff left and right :p Hang in there if ya can, the start's always slow.

And yeah, collection quests suck; only do the ones with decent drop rates, avoid the low-rate ones(Headless Southshore Murlocs anyone? or the Hoofless Zhevras in barrens); there'll never be a way to loot easier beyond setting to FFA and letting the main loot and trade extra loot away to alts later, too close to botting otherwise

I felt exactly the same way till I hit lvl 14 and got earth shock 3 and was one shotting everything with out stopping... it's been up hill since then

Ya my sort of pivotal moments so far was
new lightning bolt at 14
new lightning bolt at 18?
healing stream totem at 20 (even though the quest made me want to club a baby seal)
ghost wolf at 20
lesser hjealing wave, forgot which level i got it though
mana spring totem at 26
next greatest moments will be reincarnation at 30 and chain lightning, oh god yes chain lightning at 32.
