can warlocks powerlevel ppl??

regas · August 23, 2008, 05:34 AM

im a warlock and i was just wondering if locks can powerlevel people and hold aggro while they nuke because couple of my friends just started playing and i want to know if i can do that even in high level places.

Every class can power level people :]

Every class also has a cutoff point, and with locks it depends on spec as much as anything. You won't be able to powerlevel all the way to 70, but as affliction I could solo zul farrak, but was close to the end of being able to do so. That said if it's several friends, you could probably have them support/healing you until outlands. At that point it's not really powerlevelling as they're "green" to you.

I am doing a recruit a freind 0-60 today. I have lots of good pvp gear so that makes it easy with sl/sl ... ... ... life tap and never go oom. currently my freinds warrior is level 35 started at 7am will keep you guys posted. the plan is hit sm till 39, ulda for a till 41, zf grind to 50, brd to get some freinds the key, then strat till 60.

According to all my friends I'm the fastest dungeon runner they've ever had (and trust me they had a lot of dungeon runs cause they're a bunch of lazy alts). I just go in cast SL and corruption and then DL the first mob I doted. Although the funny thing is it's harder to run people through lower level instances because about 2 ticks or corruption kills each mob and your SL doesn't even get a chance to tick therefore your gonna be losing health, of course if your still use DL as your main source of DD damage then it will be quite awhile until you life tapped yourself to a low percentage of health.
As for the other builds I would believe they would be harder to run people through, destruction would have to take on two or 3 guys at once so their sbolts or w/e won't be interrupted. Demo would lack damage but it would increase your chances of survival very much.

I do ZF with my orgmates lowbies as destro without any problems. BRD I can do if I have a healer. It would be enough if someone in around level 50 healed. (But I imagine I do it slower than Google Page Ranking ex a warrior or a pala would)

Deadmine rocks - can hellfire it lol - awesome aoetaunt :D

Ok people has Blizzard lost it's mind. It's bad enough that there are tons of people playing right now that can't play thier class from roll to 60. Now this? I say this because I had the misfortune to be in a pug with all recruit-o-friends. Tank had no clue what to do with his sunder, healer shielding the tank..etc..etc.. I still have a friggin headache just thinking about this.

For all of us that sat in the trenches and slugged it out from roll to 70. I feel it's a slap in the face from Blizzard to even think of this concept.

Apparently leveling is too boring and everyone wants instant endgame content....makes you wonder why they even bother making levels...

Im just waiting for the paid leveling service from Blizzard $50 to take a toon from 1 to 58.

It's still even possible to boost people through places like stratholme and scholomance.

The easiest spec to do them in is in demonology (preferably felguard specced) - what I normally do is pull a pack and then just seed them down.
