Well... got 3 toons to 80 already and none of them are a pure DPS class so I am leveling a mage. He's sitting at 61 and well, sitting there hitting frost bolt is getting a bit boring, the AoE isn't too fun either.

I got the heirlooms and everything and sure it's fast but boring.

Was going to try out arcane but it won't really be great until Arcane Blast at 64 so, any ideas until then?
 
You can go arcane before 64, just cast fire ball instead of arc. blast until ur 64, it won't be so bad thats its unplayable :p, that is saying you <3 arcane over frost and fire.
 
How'd you guess :)

JUST MISSING A WARLOCK NOW. Think maybe next year. :)
 
He was level 61 when he posted about a month ago. Getting 19 levels in one month is a walk in the park. Gratz though! Mages are fun, so are warlocks. Stay away from the Paladin unless you have a shitload of patience... I hit 80 on my paladin and it is pure boring until your gear gets godly, then you will fuck shit up as ret.
 
I geared my pally as holy, got bored of healing though. My mage is really fun :)
 
Thats true, I heard they are going to redo the whole low level play style, so you can save your warlock for that :D.

They are completely redoing the level flow of the old world, drastically changing many zones, and making higher quality quests throughout. Hopefully it will be a lot more fun :thup:
 
Gotta save some classes for Cata, man ;)

Maybe, really don't wanna do another 80 though, I really hated 1-60 and I had these toons at 60 from RAF which is why I even thought of playing my mage :(

Ya, I am hoping that and I might rejoin WoW if it really is redone well :D

I have a 71 mage , i've respccing and experimenting with different specs and by far FROST is ur best friend. But yeah since ur bored, i suggest Fire for now before you get arcane blast and arcane barrage. with fire you'll do good dmg, but you'll feel the OOM at almost every 2-3 fights. Same goes with arcane, but arcane has talent that reduces Evocation CD.
 
You play WoW a lot, don't you

Hes had little over a month, you don't have to play a lot to get 80 80 from lvl 61, leveling is quicker at this point up until you get to 70, then its slow I believe until you get to 76 then its quick to 78, and time consuming for the last 2 levels :p

If you knew what you were doing, didn't fool around, and was focused, and didn't run into any bumps, 61-70 you can get in about maybe a weeks time (If you count in school or work.

And notice hes had a whole month. More than enough time. A lot of people goof around, or don't farm for gold (For lets say flying training) So its more time consuming.

However, I haven't played since last may, so this process could have been sped up.

Also if I remember correctly

Fire-Mass AoE, for raids? Instances maybe?

Arcane- Leveling I believe?

Frost-PVP

Frost I'm sure was a PVP thing, but I can't remember much about the other 2 correctly so I could be wrong.
 
Frost and Arcane are both very viable for PvP, Fire is just plain bad :p

But yeah, I had epic mounts, heirloom, etc.

Took a total of 4 days, 19 hours to get to 80.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
