Does anyone have any tips for semi-speed leveling in Northrend? No BoA gear cause it's on a diff server, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips like don't level x place it's too slow, instead go here. Or what's the best zone progression?

I've always done:

68-71: Borean Tundra
71-73: Howling Fjord
73-75: Dragonblight
75-77: Grizzly Hills
77-79: Storm Peaks
79-80: Icecrown

I skip Zul'Drak because the quests there are long and annoying. I like Storm Peaks better because it has a bunch of long quest chains, and the side benefit of unlocking the Sons of Hodir. Plus you can make decent cash mining Titanium in the area. You could prob get to 80 if you do all the quests in Storm Peaks, but I usually head to Icecrown at 79 so I can get the Argent Crusade and Ebon Blade questlines done.

In all honesty though, the best way now, at least if you have a tank or healing capability, is just to do randoms and be 80 shortly after you finish dragonblight.

What is the new standard paladin tanking spec? I notice lots of Seal of Commands flying around these days.

Seal of Command is only useful for trash tanking. If you want to look oh-so-cool on trash take a point from conviction and put it into SoC. If you are intelligent and know that trash tanking means dick you keep the point in conviction since that effects boss fights.

Does anyone know of a good Rogue mod to track CPs, Time on S&D, ect? Kind of like Mage Nuggets is for a Mage.

I hear Classtimers talked about a lot; I use dotimer myself since it's minimalistic, but it's harder to configure, especially with self buffs and boss debuffs simultaneously.

For CP I use a mod called HearKitty, plays progressive tones for each CP gained (and stops playing them at 5, and plays a different tone when they reset due to finisher)...easy way to tell your CP are gaining without having to LOOK for something.

Anyone successfully "traded" characters between accounts?
From what I read, there's a penalty if you move a character between accounts owned by different persons, but I dont know if it's cash or what.
Basically it'd be me and my friend trading a rogue for a priest :D

I'll have to look into classtimers though I'm not sure if its what I'm looking for, and that hearkitty sounds like a good idea if I wasn't so visual about everything.

Xperl shows me energy and CP up top, UIM combo points is a pretty big combo point thing that you can have alter colors, size, and direction they show up, wherever you want, and needtoknow for custom debuff/buff timing. I use MSBT for my scrolling combat text, and you can use it to display a message or make a sound whenever something goes off (i have a sound/text display when I get a clearcast, hysteria, or trinket proc)

There is an AWESOME one for cat (and bear) druids called Badkitty. I seriously don't know how I would keep track of druid stuff without it's bars and button displays.

I know that doesn't really help you much, but maybe the author has done something similar for rogue.

I've heard a lot of people talking about Power Auras. It lets you do a crazy amount, but it takes a long time to work on.

[Tricen]

I tried powerauras. Never again. Fuck that shit.

I love power auras. I use it to track AB stacks and MBAR procs. It's probably the most useful out of all the addons I have. It took a while to set up, but it was totally worth it.

[Tricen]

I would need a tutorial on it, cause last time I tried it felt like it took years to get somethin working.

If you know of the name of the buff/debuff it's pretty easy to get it going. Here's a tutorial.

I fell in love with Mage Nuggets, very visual add on. It tracks everything a mage would want and is so easy to configure. Plus it keeps track of ports.

So my warrior only pugs 25mans (at least until summer), and I do 10mans weekly with guild. We are 10/12 in 10man. Should I continue to spend my frost badges on PVE shit even though I'm leaps and bounds ahead of my 10man in terms of dps, and ahead of pretty much every pug 25 man I get into? Or should I start spending the badges on pieces I could use for PVP since I'm doing that most of the time now anyway?

My next purchase with frosts would be 2 pieces of tier10 at once, 190badges. Since VOA wont drop legs for me. Otherwise I can spend them on the pve offset piece and use it for pvp.

[Tricen]

If you plan on starting to do 25mans, stick with pve gear so you don't have to worry about it then, imo.
