Given all WotLKC classes, and all specs, what are your personal S-Tiers for duo leveling. Include professions, and their bonuses, where pertinent.
I’m just looking to compare real life experience versus video guide recommendations.
Thanks, in advance.
Boomkin and prot warrior.
Proofs don’t really matter but both Eng and alch is the best.
Eng you can level to have tinkers such as nitro boost and use when leveling as early as level 55 plus bombs for both is free damage not to mention health and mana injectors to save bag space
Alch the value of double flask uptime is high in leveling as we are talking about a long period plus the self heal dose add up to reduced downtime. Jc is also good just for the most raw stats but dosent show it’s value till the higher levels while alch shows it’s value from early on.
Tank using spirit of zanza plus gift of artras that is the best combo even with only the one physical class for raw power the movement speed from zanza is the most important to gather mobs as fast as possible. The boom can use normal dps flasks as his movement speed is not as important with car sprint.
Prot warriors are able to keep going with no downtime all the self healing they need and the survival to tank large packs without a healer without issue. This allows them to build up large packs as the boomkin gets mana after the last pack once the packs are gathered the boom opens up.
Boomkin has the highest uncapped aoe dps which is the role on the 2nd person while able to rez both in combat and out if needed. This allows for packs of over 10 elites to be aoe and killed at once when using the correct routes for high exp an hour.
This would obv be instance leveling to allow for a constant stream of mobs to pull and nuke down.
The other tanks work fine also warrior is just the most stable for 5 man aoe grinding with highest aoe dps. A warlock dose work rather than boom also as a good aoe source.
Frost mage plus warlock is the next best option using frost to control mobs this is vastly slower thou as not only are you now limited by mana mobs tend to spread out here and there lowering dps plus the frost mage in large long pulls takes longer to group them and dose less sustained dps.
I like Ret/Prot + Ele/Resto. Prot P can take a hell of a beating and only need emergency heals and Divine Plea, even when not taking enough/getting healed/avoiding being up 24/7 is lovely. I also like WF + Wrath totem + Str of the Earth as Ret/Ele combo.
This is how the wife and I do it and it’s been fun duoing all normal mode dungeons in BC rotating these specs as needed.
Prot ele is good the only issue that makes it not “stier” is the caped aoe damage of ele. They do best vs 3 targets and a prot pally can and dose want to tank more than 3 this means leaving damage potential on the table and the totems esp on only one person dosent make up that diff esp comp to boom that already brings crit and spell hit which is the strongest totem effect woth mark of the wild nearly countering out the others. In wrath wf is quite gutted and no longer the godsend of tbc where It would of likly made up the loss of uncapped aoe. Add in Innervate and boom is bringing more buffs outside lust and lust thou a great cd is not up enough for trash farming to be super inpact full vs the loss of uncapped aoe.
It is a good combo non the less that I would agree with calling A tier just wouldent call it S tier.
As long as you heals, tanking and aoe damage in the duo, you’ll excel as a duo.
Best or worst doesn’t matter if those 3 boxes are ticked because you’ll be miles ahead of normal xp grinding.
Best and worst dose matter as that is the topic of the thread.
Sure in the real world Dosent matter much as the end game is what your leveling for so you want to play what you will enjoy there in the end the topic is about what is s tier duo leveling. It’s a discussion about peoples thoughts on that not what you can use.
