different people have different goals in game for "endgame". its not
anyones place to tell them that its wrong, or that they should be doing
something else with their time (like killing illidan). you appear to be
questioning his reasons for doing something. why does it really matter?
he's having fun and getting his money's worth. thats what games are all
about. you do know that dont you?

Same here, I had guildie help.

Levelling a warrior is just painful. I've tried Prot, Fury and I'm
just going to resec again all the in arms to see if that makes a
difference.

Mine was Sublety for a long time.. definitely high-survival spec. Now,
at 70 I've gone combat daggers.

My Shaman I've not played seriously for a long time.. My Hunter I
deleted at 70.. no groups wanted him, and it was just boring.
Warlock was the same. Just boring.

Now, I think levelling a Prot Pally is easier than any other class.
Yes, it's slow on single mobs, but 10 takes the same time as 1.

For the one class which should excell at multi-mobbing, the warrior is
undoubtedly the worst.

Prot pally is the best, probably followed by Frost mage, Hunter and
Warlock.. not necessarily in that order. The Warlock is probably
easier, with fear and drain life and a pet.

Only the Pally, though, doesn't even try to escape.
Another mob? Bring it! It's just more Reckoning procs, blocks and
heals.

Oh doesn't *that* get old fast? It's one reason I'm going from Fury
to Arms.. at least then, if I can manage to hit them at all, I stand
some chance of doing some reasonable damage.
