Hello Tier 4
Tools, Uncategorized September 23rd, 2008
Not many updates recently, I know, but I’ve a good reason for that I think you all know about - powerleveling. Just dinged 32 which means I’m now a fully into T4 and can no longer play T3 scenarios.
I think I’ve a pretty good idea about the class ATM, and I think I’m going for a 14/0/11 hybrid build with a twohander, that grants me a single target knockback, aoe knockback with snare, aoe root, single target root from morale, aoe snare and two knockdowns, that’s hell a lot of CC you have to admite, and for that an Ironbreaker is really a great class. Not using Focused Offense and stacking toughness will guarantee that I’m tough enough to run into large groups even with twohander, and throwing aoe knockback (small distance tho) with a snare applied on it makes me a really hard target for any melee trains, while with the amount of tricks I’ve already at 3X peeling people off my healers is pretty easy.
The one ability I still has to test and I’m not totally sold on is Ancestor’s Fury, the short duration and grudge costs doesn’t really sell this ability to me, if it had at least 20 seconds duration then maybe, 120 strength is a lot (108 actually in this build), so is 10% crit, but IB doesn’t have a lot of burst damage, or crit synergy like a Black Orc, to begin with.

This might be the totally wrong place to ask… but:
- did you try any other classes besides the Ironbreaker?
- is it me or did I rank 1-5 on my Goblin Shaman in half the time of my Ironbreaker?
- will it be better? Until rank 5 the Ironbreaker is so slow and boring compared to all others I tried. And I was a huge fan of wow warrior levelling.

Yes I did try shammy and Black Orc (obviously) to some extend in beta. It’s kind of slow for all tanks on early levels, get’s a lot faster later on. Also, in Tier 1, if you are Order, you can just level in scenarios with instant queues, then it doesn’t matter what class you are.

What do you do to level so fast scenarios and pq or just quest.

Scenarios and PQ farm for influence or quests while in the queue. Going to be hard now since T4 scenarios aren’t opening yet tho.
BTW: I’m 33 now :P, going to bed.

Your an animal….im slowly making my progress in t3 atm since scenario ques got longer ( suspect that will change soon when the mass retail buyers hit the t3 )
I’ve tried Ancestors fury and must say i havn’t noticed it making any big differance..sure it is as you write a big boost in both str and crit but costs a fortune in grudge and doesn’t last that long. ( so ill be respeccing it next time i logon )
