Leveling areas summary thread

Yes. Early on, I found that having one mage with 0/2 arcane subtlety and another with 1/2 focused the damage better. If you holy nova every pull, it actually slows you down. Knowing which mages were most likely to get whacked made preempting heals a lot smoother. 1-30 is more about managing your drinks / pulls than anything else. If I had to do it again, I would just buy all my food/water. Drinking/Buffing/Creating water is, no joke, a third of your playtime... especially if you die.

Around ~40+ the elites just start hitting too hard so I go 2/2 on everyone. You want to spread the damage at this point because pulling 3-4 packs with a mage doing 30% more aggro just ends up with a dead mage.

I like leading with priest because they can just eat the first hit of every mob and be fine. It really smooths out the pulls. The mages will pick up threat immediately after. Aiming cone is a bit of a pain, but I just use it as I run through things.

I like using vuhdo. It facilitates me playing my healers exclusively with my mouse and my dps entirely with my left hand. This way I can keep a mostly universal keymap to hotswap my dps/heals in and out.
