Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Would like to do this for all the classes really.

I didn't start WoW until late BC. I'd just like to look over the classes to know what I'm getting myself into since it's a long grind, especially a class like Paladin which I heard is quite bad unless you play Holy, and even then..

The leveling grind is worse if you play Holy.

Paladins are the 2nd slowest leveling class, plain and simple. You can see the spells of classes using any vanilla database, I use db.vanillagaming.org myself

Leveling as a paladin is very nice and easy. Dreary has no idea what he's talking about.
First thing you should do is spec into Holy and get concecration. Doesn't matter how, just get it. Then I recommend getting a 2hander, but a 1h + shield works just as good. You should use crusader seal at most times.

how do you rank leveling? its based on the player not the class... lol

I can easily level ANY class in 1 week if I really wanted to waste a week to prove a point. Some people do it less, heck People on nost did it in 3-4 days, I seen ppl doing dungeons 5 days after nost was released.

are you basing this on Solo leveling, Dungeon leveling, AoE Grinding? many ways to level a toon, So imo, not one dictates what is faster for a class or slower.

Assuming the player knows everything and takes the maximum efficiency leveling path for that class, Paladin is the 2nd slowest leveling on this server. Dungeon leveling is completely ineffective for any class, AoE grinding is often too contested (and often times, camped by lv 60s looking to ruin peoples fun).

By these metrics, Paladins are the 2nd slowest leveling class. Even with AoE grinding, Paladin would likely still be 2nd slowest, since the 3rd slowest is Mage without AoE grinding.

Just curious, could you post the whole ranking on what levels the fastest?

I agree with JC at this point , there is no valid evidence or solid proof about this who can level faster.

As Paladin Spec in 11 Consecration and Retribution Command - All you need is "strong/slow 2h Weapon" which you can buy from auction house.

Main targets + AoE while questing will be far more faster than any other class since as "mail/plate" we can grab many adds at same time and with command proc non elites dies in 1 shot.

Otherway if you have "healer" friend with you as Protection Paladin trough dungeons you can level 10 times faster than questing . (ofc if you do dungeons based on your level and not lower lvls).

Hunter > Mage (If they can AoE grind) > Warlock > Druid > Shaman = Rogue > Priest => Mage (if no AoE grind) > Paladin (AoE grinding or not) > Warrior

I have a healer friend. How can I do this?

be prot spec/gear with 11 consecration then start on public channels looking for 3 dps (name of the dungeon) . Farm aoe = simple as that , the run is crazy fast and do the full clearing of whole dungeon including all adds

simple as that.
