For me an alts its the gear…quick way to level up gear when you are a fresh 110.
Sorry, with the new mythic plus dungeons, rushing through is not just the accepted meta, it’s also great practice. If you dislike what the majority of “man children” prefer, do as was suggested, make your own “mature” adult group (also known as clickers without keybinds) and take all day finishing Grim Batol for all anyone cares. Absolutely no one will bother you that way.
After 8.2 no mount will have intrinsic water walking.
The strider will be just one more mount.
Probably going to start an Alliance DK after I get my 330ish newly 120 Shaman her Panda quest reward. Then he’ll be ready for the Carousel when DMF drops Sunday.
WHEEEEEEEEE
I’m an altoholic, so, the answer is yes to leveling alts - I find more fun in the old content even thought it’s kind of a grind - better than what I have seen in BfA.
Here’s the “from scratch” method: (assuming you have no Anglers rep at all)
-Buy 105 The Angler rep tokens with 5250 TW badges
-Use 70 of the rep tokens to get to Revered
-At Revered, buy the Double Rep item from the The Anglers.
-Use the remaining tokens to hit Exalted
-Buy your Azure Water Strider.
In 8.2 the Water Strider won’t have water walk abilities so seems pointless.
It feels like these got hard nerfed. At 111 I got like 25% of a level.
Why even get that mount with the changes in 8.2?
I’m officially done with BFA then. The developers get paid a lot of money to make a lot of grind.
Not sure what they’re needed for.
The reason timewalking is great for leveling alts is because the queue times are so fast with everyone queueing up to finish their weekly quest. DPS gets an especially big speed boost due to this alone.
My DPS queue was close to 15 minutes. Got the same experience as a normal dungeon. Used my last token to resub to try to finish leveling alts during this TW in prep for potentially the next expansion, but after these changes I don’t even care enough to do that. Officially done.
I’ll take under 15 minute queues over 25-30 minute queues any day of the week.
MoP TW is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW its like 20+ min que’s then 20 minute runs, that 40+ mins for half a level. The last one was pretty good this one is horrible. Its pretty much one toon a day if you go at it all day.
Worst part is that most of the time spent in MOP dungeons is some stupid panda doing unskippable RP or super boring events.
Doesn’t feel worth it anymore to do TW for leveling purposes.
Even while getting instant tank/healer queues, it doesn’t give that huge amount of xp anymore and depending on your group the dungeon can take quite a while to complete.
Yup. They did get nerfed. Which is why I didn’t waste my time.
Those who keep saying it’s efficient, it isn’t. Especially with this recent nerf to the XP.
Shado-Pan Monastery and Siege of Niuzao Temple really slow down the leveling pace this week
I got Siege of Stupid Panda Temple 3 times in a row before saying screw this, rather let the token time rot.
They’re really good to level in because there’s not nearly as much trash (BfA dungeons have 100% more trash than any other dungeons. Time played metrics lol)
Anyways, they can usually be completed in about 10 minutes or so, 100k exp.
