After getting steady shot at 62, it seems like Huhuran’s Stinger @ 2.7 speed would be the best choice for a BM rotation. I can’t find a comparable ranged weapon with as good or better dps, and correct speed until mana tombs. What do yall think?
I think it doesn’t matter because you can hit and farm mana tombs on day 1…
60-70 can easily be accomplished in 1-2 days if you are efficient and know the route.
yeh, its a same dps weapon. Would just be nice to not have to worry about it until 66+
It literally doesn’t matter. If you don’t have Nerubian Slavemaker you’re going to replace your weapon before you even do heroics.

are you looking to parse in Mana Tombs? Then yes, definitely you should farm that stinger.

Lol. Maybe a few people will do it. It will hardly be “easy.”
I think the handful of people confused enough about the concept of a game to put their heads down and rush to 70 as fast as possible may indeed get there in 1-2 days.
However, since the bulk of them will cancel their subscriptions shortly thereafter, they won’t exactly be around in the world for the rest of us to interact with in any way.

It takes 6,268,300 exp for 60-70 (will work out to a little less effectively if rested carries over.)
If you’re really pushing, you can max out your Ramps runs early on @ 30k/run 5x/hr, but that’ll only carry you to the mid 60’s and thats only 150k/hr or so, decreasing as you approach 70.
But lets assume they do lift the 30/day cap and you’re still able to average 150k/hr all the way to 70, even though realistically that’ll be pretty much impossible. Even in that unrealistic and highly contrived scenario, you’re still looking at 42 hours /played to hit 70. So that’s just under 2 days if you play non-stop without breaks and never sleep.
Pretty sure that’s not gonna happen for 99.99999% of people.
Well, you don’t do ramps for one thing, you go right into BF

Most people will start with Ramps. Traditionally its the easier one to speed clear. And even with BF you’re not gonna get 150k/hr consistently, much less more than that.
Well, if they’re following the leveling guides they will.
Personally i’m just questing, not going to rely on a group that could log off before I do.
I think a lot of people are underestimating the time it takes to get to 70… let alone if there’s any form of a daily dungeon limit. As that just feeds more people into already crowded areas.
Layering is gonna have to work double overtime lol.
But to be honest its less efficient to race to 70 as fast as possible versus getting rep/attunements going as you level.

Racing to 60 through dungeons IS actually the most effective way of getting reps and attunements going.

Idk about launch my dwarf friend but we are going to be farming honor hold rep for that epic gun!
Yea only do dungeons till honored then move to the next set.
Then at 68 do the kara attunements until you can’t and do the hillsbrad start to be able to enter BM, them back to dungeons.
At 68 you can also do the 70 dungeons to continue your rep grind into revered for the heroic keys.
Yea this is mostly true. Though you can get honored just by doing the zone quests for each faction, spamming dungeons is still going to be better rep overall, and then you can still come back and do most of the quests anyway for rep and gold.
This is 100% true.
There’s actually a really good guide online that shows you how many dungeons you need for each of them to get to I think revered.
The problem is lower dungeons stop giving rep at honored, so at least for HFP and Zangar its better to get honored by dungeon and THEN quest, will get you revered quicker.
I don’t think you’re going to run out of dungeons before you’re high enough level to do the higher level ones that give you rep all the way to exalted.
Like as soon as you’re done with blood furnace and your honored you can move on to the next dungeon set but by the time that happens you’ll probably be already 62 or 63.
Then you’ll probably end up 65 or so in the next set.
That’s another thing I’d forgotten before recently. All told theres a total of 16 dungeons added with TBC not including raids. That’s a lot of dungeon…
