class to level fastest.....?

[drewrayder]

ok i dont play casters much, and i will have to soon enough. i get from people wizards and sorcs are the fastest to level, even on double TRs. WHY? can someone treat me like a complete noob and tell me how these people can level a double TR sorc/wizzie in like a week to cap? as in...what is it about those classes? what do they do? has me baffled...

Enter quest, buff yourself, RUUNNNN (dragging all the mobs your way), hotkey fw, jump and kite till 20 mobs are dead. Rinse and repeat.

Will the changes to spells affect that?

Yes. They'll have to get slightly more creative with how they kite things.

It is true if you solo alot, and got lots of consumables to burn.
If not, i would suggest cleric, becasue you will almost always find a group, and can still solo alot.

If you want to hate yourself go with a barb

If you already hate yourself go with a barb

Fixed that for you.

The update will change things a bit. Unless it's a very long quest pale masters will be able to do the death aura/undead form starting at level 6 instead of level 12. That will make it much easier to ignore all incoming damage while using Wall of Fire from a very early level - basically from the moment you have the Wall of Fire spell.

There is nothing more fun the solo'ing (because you definitely can't pug it) with an 800+ hp machine that would get blasted by a toothpick.

Make sure you get a vicious weapon to go along with frenzy too!

And while you're at it get a zip-line to deliver cure serious pots to you as 5 tabs might not cut it. :P

I am currently in the middle of leveling my first caster.
STUPID EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes a ton more skill to play a Barbarian than a WF Wizard. Kite mobs, toss FW, shield block in firewall until mobs die, toss repair, rinse repeat.
No wonder Turbine is changing firewall in U9. Serious easy/lame button.

So far that is my impression at level 9. I will keep everyone updated on my leveling progress. BTW, just solo'd Von 1 on normal in under 10 minutes, and Von 2 in about 15 (had to try a couple tactics against the beholders).

Color me impressed at your skills of soloing low level content. I know I've never been able to do that on any of my non-arcane builds I also know that I called for nerfs of all those builds such as dex based rogues, arcane archers, non arcane archers, pure warchanters, pure bard non-warchanters, repeater builds...

130k more and I get out of this barb life...THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

What he said.
Easily solo'ed pretty much anything from 1 to 20 when I TR'ed my WF caster back to wizard, and it's fast.

While I agree for most people this is a great build, I have to say that there are some people whose hatred for WF is buried so deep that they have a HARDER time leveling one of these....

Or is it just me

They are solid builds though.

Nope, I'm still around . I keep telling myself I'll try all of the races at least once too, so I guess we'll see how that goes some day.
