The Warlock is also one of the Horde’s best solo classes for leveling fast, and because of this, I intend to give you a few brief pointers to help you on your way. If you play an Alliance warlock, perhaps its time to consider crossing to the dark side!

Brief pointer 1: The warlock uses pets which are completely dispensable. Most players seem to treat their pet like a real person – they hang around until its almost dead, and then, when its all too late, they flee the combat.

Remember: Warlock pets are dispensable! If you get into trouble, leave your pet behind to his fate, and live to fight another day. If we were to measure the number of hours spent by dead Warlocks running back to their corpse in WoW, I suspect we’d find days worth of leveling wasted over a week because of this fact alone.

Brief pointer 2: The warlock has crowd control spells… but they can come back to haunt you.

Remember: Fear and related spells can be great for a short time fix… but don’t lose sight of that monster. If he flees past friends he’ll bring them along for the ride, and that short term fix you needed earlier will rapidly become a long term death. Get ready to do a corpse run if you use fear without thinking of the consequences.

Brief pointer 3: Warlock pets should be matched to the surrounding circumstances. Are you fighting a raid? Are you solo speed leveling? Are you in a PvP situation?

Remember: You must select the Warlock pet which performs the best in each situation. Do not go into PvP with an Imp. Do not use the succubus to power level solo. Common sense? Yes. Commonly followed sense? No! Do your research & find the best pet for the right occasion!

Joana (or Mancow, the male character he uses) has gotten to level 60 in under five days played time and has been the first to level a character to 60 on six different servers now. Because of this, he was invited to play in the Burning Crusade beta. This means his new guide will be out soon after the expansion is released! What’s even better is that you get the expansion guide for free when you purchase the his leveling guide, as well as any updates to the guides.

This WoW Horde leveling guide shows you exactly where to go and what to do. Using this guide you will be doing about 90% questing and 10% grinding, which is excellent since you don’t have to mindlessly kill monsters all day long. Questing is also a lot faster than grinding alone. Joana captured on video the whole leveling experience from 1 to 60, which took him a little under five days playing time.

The actual video run time is 115 hours but even when sped up, the combined time of these videos is 35 hours! This amazing feat caught the attention of The Escapist Magazine, which wrote about it in their speedrunning article. Fortunately, these videos are divided nicely into levels and zones and are integrated into the guide.

You also get pictures and maps showing you exactly where to find the quests that are listed in the guide. The guide lists the UI mods he uses and also tricks for playing a hunter and the order in which he uses his talent points. No exploits were used to get to 60 in this World of Warcraft horde leveling guide and everything is completely legitimate.

The Horde side has more quests to do so you won’t even need to bother with instances unless you want to grab the occasional piece of armor. This guide is designed around soloing so time won’t be wasted finding a good group, which is nice since you’ll probably be leveling up faster than your friends anyway.

Brian Kopp started playing World of Warcraft the day it was released and studied every area and quest to find out which quests are the best and fastest way to go. Quests are faster for leveling, so about 80% of the time you will be questing. The other time spent is grinding but that is unavoidable and it’s not even a large amount of time at all.

This World of Warcraft leveling guide is excellent for any level of player, from beginner to very experienced. You can use it either casually when you need a tip on where to go or you can follow every step in the guide exactly.

A few things to keep in mind is not to waste your time on certain quests. Quests that have you look for a certain item or a person shouldn’t be bothered with. Elite quests, especially ones that are found in instances, for the most part take up too much time. Just stick with the quests which have you kill mobs to gather a number of items. This way you’re gaining experience while doing your quest for the big reward.

This WoW power leveling guide shows you what quests to accept and exactly where to go, every single step of the way. You will get to level 60 in less than a week of playing time and he guarantees it with a 200% refund if you are not satisfied! This guide is for soloing so you don’t need to worry about finding groups or having your friends keep up with you, because they probably won’t be able to.

Included is a link to the UI mod Brian uses to make the guide even more integrated with the game. It comes with map coordinates so you know exactly where to go without having to guess. This guide uses completely legitimate tips and tricks to get you leveled in such a short time.

What’s great is that all the updates are free when you buy this wow power leveling guide. With the updates you get the Burning Crusade guide when it comes out as well as the class guides and updates to the main guide.

Are you constantly frustrated by how long its taking you to level in World of Warcraft? Do you wonder how some people seem to have gone up 10 levels in the time it takes you to log in? Sure, they might be kids with time to burn, or people that have more time than they know what to do with, but that doesn’t mean you can’t emulate their speed… you just need a special something…

And that is, a good quality, map mod enabled fast leveling guide.

I imagine you, like me, don’t get to log on for more than perhaps an hour a night, maybe less. Or perhaps the weekend is the only time you get for a decent WoW session?

Map mod enabled fast leveling guides really are a powerful tool for those of us with lives outside the game, because they let us maximize the time we DO get to put into the game.

Map mod enabled leveling guides, along with the bonus exp you get for being logged out can mean blinding fast leveling times for the time sensitive among us. Map modded guides are basically highly detailed and instructive leveling guides that tell you exactly what quests will give you the best experience, where they are, and how to best complete the quests you DO have to level faster.

Some of the best map mod guides even come with subtle directional arrows which take you to exactly where you need to go — so no more hunting around for ages on the net looking for the coordinates of those tricky quests! Just click a button and follow the arrow – that’s all there is to it!

These guides really can be amazing time saving tools for the time starved among us, so why not give one a shot? You might find you really can get to level 60, 70, or 80 sooner than you thought.

Leveling a Hunter is very easy if you know how to do it. Just follow these simple WoW Hunter tips and you’ll see that solo questing has never been easier. There are several different spells you need to make sure to have on your Action Bars, and I’m not talking about your shots. There are several spells that many Hunters don’t take advantage of. The first one is Feign Death, with Feign Death your Hunter will drop down pretending to be dead, this drops all the aggro you have, granted it doesn’t always work, but most of the time it does.

Also note that after you Feign Death your pet will still continue to fight. This is a great spell and I only use it when I’m in a very bad spot that I know I can’t get out of. Another spell that is often overlooked is the Freezing Trap, this trap will freeze the first enemy to approach it, and it lasts different times depending on how you have spent your talent points. Freezing trap is great for Battlegrounds like Warsong Gulch because you can drop a trap on your flag and if an enemy approaches they will then be frozen in ice. This works great for stealth rogues as well. Freezing Trap is also often used in Instances for extra crowd control. Many Hunters often forget about Scare Beast as well, if you are in a bad fight with many mobs while questing this spell can save your life. It will scare the targeted beast mob away much like the Warlock’s Fear spell.

One last little tip for BM Hunters…cast a Mend Pet spell on your pet before sending him into fighting some of the tougher guys and keep it going so your pet is always being healed during the fight. If you do this correctly you will be able to solo many Elite mobs that would normally need a group.

I hope you have enjoyed my WoW Hunter tips and I look forward to writing more. For more leveling tips you should check out my blog for Free WoW Tips. If you need help leveling your Hunter check out Joana’s horde leveling guide.

There are many different pets to choose from, they each have their own abilities and purposes. My favorite pet is currently a gorilla. I like the gorilla’s AOE lighting effect because if I’m being attacked by multiple mobs the attack will focus all aggro on my pet. This can be a lifesaver when I’m questing alone. This is probably the first pet I’ve tamed solely because of their skills. Normally I go after pets with unique looks. I remember when I first started playing the game, I didn’t know the zones very well and I spent like 2 hours searching for the infamous Ghostsaber.

If you haven’t seen the Ghostsaber I suggest you go see one in game because pictures online do not do this pet justice. Also with the release of patch 3.0 Hunters can now tame exotic pets. This was very awesome for me, because I always wanted a Chimera. The downside to this is that we have to be spec’d for full BM. I didn’t like this because I had to mess up my raiding build, but oh well the pets are very nice…especially the Core Hounds. Once I get my gorilla caught up to the level of my Hunter I’ll probably get a Core Hound just for looks.

Something that I’ve always wanted to tame but never did was a bear, I heard that bears make great tanks and when you are soloing a tank pet would be great. For leveling I have always used a cat, I leveled from like 20-70 with a cat as a pet. It wasn’t the Ghostsaber though; just some random barrens cat if I remember. I eventually caught a Ravager in Outlands that I used for PVP, Ravagers have a nice attack were they run towards their enemy and knock them down. This is awesome for PVP and great for PVE as well. I really wish that Blizzard would make the Hunter pets work like the mounts or companion pets so we could have as many as we wanted. It would great to have more of the exotic pets and be able to stop finding a stable master every time we needed to get a different pet. Hunters we need to suggest this to Blizzard!

So there you have my take on WoW Hunter pets. If you are unsure of which pet is best for you check out Petopias Pet Database.

If you are new to the Hunter class and would like some leveling tips check out Joana’s Leveling Guide for a guide built around leveling a Hunter fast.
