Horde Leveling Guide – Warlock Power Leveling Tips

The Warlock class to my mind is the quintessential Horde class. Its evil, you deal with demons, and you debuff your enemies using powerful strength sapping spells and curses.

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!

Wow Hunter Tips

Hunters are my favorite class to play in the World of Warcraft. They are great a great DPS class and offer some crowd control as well. With a Hunter specced in Beast Mastery you can fight several mobs at once for great solo leveling and grinding. The best part of playing a Hunter is getting a pet. You can get pets or companions with any class but its different with a Hunter’s pet.

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.
