The Paladin class had been a lot of fun for me to play. The problem which many players have is the somewhat slower rate of leveling as a Paladin, and are easily turned off. Normally you would have to solo your way as Retribution spec. However if you can find a friend to level up with, who doesn’t mind just healing you as you level together, you can do what I do and go Protection spec. Even without triple experience, it is still a fast way to get things done, and you can level up very quickly.

I’m glad that you found some of this stuff helpful. Thanks for sharing some info about your experiences. It may be a little tidbit of info, but it’s stuff like this that keeps me writing.

Haha yea, I’m slowly learning more about my Paladin by finding various Pally Blogs. I listed a few good ones in my WoW Blog List.

Ghost Hit is sadly gone with WotLK.

off topic…..ghost hit functioning in WoTLK?

You are right, Refer-a-Friend is the only way to level to 60 now for me. We’ve been spoiled and can no longer go back to the old ways. I tried leveling one of my old alts, and I can’t do it anymore.

@ TXSundevil

For us, we did all the quests possible for areas we liked (not too much running around) and quests which just say, “kill x amounts of y and come back”. When we got to the level required for SM, we logged on to one of our high level accounts and ran the alts through and we were getting a ton of exp per run. We did SM to ZF to ST, after that, we hit 60 at Felwood and Winterspring.

To tell you the truth, I am still very clueless at the Paladin class. I did however tanked Ramparts successfully the other night, with only one wipe. I was still in Scarlet Monastery blues and greens.

Oh and thanks for the heads up on still granting levels at 60. I still had one free level up left

Leveling up 3 times from attempting to do a single quest is just too awesome for words.

Euripedess last blog post..Recruit A Friend, and Greek Names

Been a great way to pass the time leading up to the expansion. Whats your favorite way to Level them? The wife and I have found that blowing quests till about 20 just cruises at lightspeed, and after that from Stockades to SM to ZF, when you speed through these instances behind one of your 70′s on another account, the triple XP pretty much offsets the fact that there is a 70 present and it just fly’s. Again its been fun for us to rush em to 60 and see what they can really do….but we like you have a basic understanding of the other classes….I wonder how first time WoWers feel with that shiny new 60 in 2 days played….and not a piece of gear or a clue what they really do?

Quick Edit……btw the friend can be 60 and grant you levels, it is only your ability to get levels from them that ceases at 60. The one we used to top off my shammy who was 45, was her new 60 Warrior…..it dinged him straight to 60 from being mid way through 45.

I did that Recruit A Friend as well. I got together with 2 friends… And bought them their copy of WoW and a 60-day card.

I rolled a shammy, and my buds rolled a warrior and a rogue. It took us roughly 30 hours to level to 60. 30 hours. Just crazy.

Then, when we all ding’d 59, I created a level 1 warlock. They summoned him to them in Hellfire – and they took turns giving him 29 levels each. He was level 59 with his level 1 gear. Hilarious. Talk about a pre-made. It was just like that wowinsider.com video where the person did the same thing. 1-60 in under 2 minutes.

In my mind – Recruit A Friend is the only way to level from 1-60…
