Leveling

I think I'm the guy who defended Cataclysm during its life cycle.

While talking during the leveling stream this week, we were discussing our plans for Legion launch day and Mitch said he was planning to go full 'gremlin D.Va' and just play until he was level 110.

So, I knew the whole Invasions as leveling tool experience had been radically improved by a recent hotfix — I’d leveled two characters in their 90’s with it, including my long abandoned Paladin. But upon getting him to 100 I decided to see how useful it was for a low level toon, my level 23 Warrior. So, this Monday, I took her to the Westfall one since she could get to it pretty easily.

Long story short, she’s now level 64. And I didn’t log on every two hours to hit all the Invasions, nor did I log out at an inn to reset a zone to stage 1 (although I was advised to do so on Twitter and I find that fascinating). This is just from hitting as many invasions as I could reasonably reach, with a last minute assist from my wife on her Sandstone Drake to get to some of the elites in Azshara. That one popped me up six levels by itself.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat about stuff.

With the Legion launch about a week and a half away, the Blizzard Watch crew are already talking about day one plans.

Okay, so this is a bit of a departure for The Queue, but I’m really curious about some things and I figured I could ask here. Y’all are of course free to ignore me, but:

I spent my level 100 boost on my Shaman because I missed playing him, and I always liked Enhancement. And I think it’s an interesting new design they’ve gone with, and Maelstrom as a mechanic has potential to be fun. But even now that he’s in ilevel 660+ gear he just explodes when I get adds. Like, one or two adds, and I’m down to half health. Even with spamming heals on myself it’s brutal. Is anyone out there playing Enhance and feeling like it’s just a tissue paper spec? None of my other characters had this hard a time in Tanaan.

This is the Queue. I asked you a querstion, and now I answer some of yours. Fair’s fair.

When it comes to experiencing the world soon to be unveiled in Legion, we Shaman get to experience everything it has to offer with little to no need to slow down.

Legion Warlock talents haven't changed much recently and are mostly the same since Legion alpha, but we'll recap here what might be good questing and leveling talents as we prepare to look towards 110.

The Legion pre-patch might be almost live by the time you're reading this!

Demon Hunters be damned, Paladins be purged and Hunters be haunted: There is no character better engineered for leveling in WoW than the solitary Rogue.

So I've been stranded in a hotel waiting to get back into my apartment, and as a result I've been playing a lot more WoW than I was before.
