I assume most Shaman will level as Enhance spec. Tauren racials are more defensive while Troll racials lean towards dps. Remember safety>speed in HC. Also War Stomp + Ghost Wolf is about as close as you’ll get to a Get-out-of-jail-free card for a Shaman.
Finally, the path to 30 is a bit easier for a Tauren because Mulgore is safer than Durotar.
Mulgore 1-10. Pick up Call of Fire.
Tirisfal Glades 10-13. Safe (skip Family Crypt) and excellent Herbalism
Silverpine Forest 14.
Finish Call of Fire.
The Barrens.

You can die easily on the run from mulgore to Crossroads.
Personally I would go 1-5 Valley of trials, being careful in the cave and then 5-7 or 8 in Deathknell.
I have never died on that road. Just don’t wander off the road and its a piece of cake.

I did twice, once around manriks wife and once just past the bridge from the hyenas.
With earthbind totem and an alchemy pot you should be able to manage aggro if you’re not watching the road.
The interesting thing, is if you look at the death statistics (deathlog), both Hunters and Warlocks are mid pack in terms of survivability and their ability to get to 60. It will be interesting to see how things play out on the official server.
I do this all the time, even at level 6 where I make a run from Mulgore to Durotar to knock out the low level Orc and Troll quests and get flight points.
Stay on the road, and watch proximity to mobs all the way and it is pretty “safe”.
Anyone know what client Hardcore is on? I’ve downloaded the Classic Era client. Been outa the loop for awhile now so any info is appreciated.
thanks
HC will be on the standard ERA client, if you go to the server selection, there should be a tab for Hardcore.
Ok I don’t see a specific “Standard Era Client” I see WoW Classic , WoW Wotlk Classic, PTR DF 10.1.7 , PTR DF 10.1.5
Sorry, you will want the WOW Classic one.
Don’t apologize! I have that one downloaded.
Now, I’m having an issue where i’m only able to see A-Z (Anathema - yojamba) realms, it doesn’t give me an option to switch over to any Hardcore Realms.
Oh ok, it’s only on the PTR right now? I get the Hardcore option on PTR but not the Classic Live , ok I think I got it.
Tomorrow it’ll switch over to the Live Realms?
Yes they wont go live until tomorrow, yesterday there was a tab for Hardcore, it appears to have been turned off right now as I don’t see it either.
i will be your friendly alliance mage, with food, water, int buffs and portals. and later, some enchants. like i’m not gonna risk the western plaguelands tower to farm crusader. nope not doing it. /keeps repeating that
I’m thinking you probably will…. GL!
Only thing I have to add here is to have a leveled alt ready. Get a few toons to 10 and park them in an inn, that way:
- You’re not starting from scratch
- You’ll have up to two levels of rested bonus.

Always do 1-6 so you can pick up your lvl 6 skills.
