Deathknight Leveling Guide and a 6 Year Old

Deathknight Leveling Guide and a 6 Year Old

I’ve made the claim over and over again that Deathknights are grossly OP and I’ve made the claim that getting a leveling guide for your Deathknight was a smart move, I will now tell you a story that will tie them both together.

I am a father of 4 with a 15 year old who love’s World of Warcraft. I also have a 6 year old who has been playing since he was just a week over 5. Now when I say playing I mean grinding Ore for daddy. Yeah it’s me taking advantage, but the way I see it he loves the idea of beating up Boars in Outlands and farming fel iron for me, so who am I to get in the way of his happiness?

About 2 weeks my oldest son decided to show my younger son that he could start a deathknight, so he did and now I lost my grinder :(.

Did you know that a 6 year old can effectively use Dugis wow leveling guide to take a horde DK from start to level 65 in a little less than 2 weeks while only playing an hour and a half a day, with 2 hours max on the weekend? WITH NO HELP FROM DADDY other than picking which add ons to use? Now if a 6 year old can manage this ALL WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO READ imagine what someone who can read will be able to accomplish. Seriously my son has gone through the guide step by step and all with no help. What do you suppose that says about the strength Dugis leveling guides? I would say it’s a very strong testament to just how effective the guides are. Seriously if you’re looking for a Deathknight leveling guide Dugis is definitely an awesome pick.

So on to the OVERPOWEREDNESS of death knights.

Here’s how I know a Death knight is overpowered.

MY 6 YEAR OLD consistently ranks in the top 5 for either damage, HK, or Killing blows in every BG he’s done. Oh it’s grand to watch him chew people up in BG. My older son and I will watch him play sometimes and just laugh. Just this weekend I told my oldest, “do you suppose I should tell the 2 guys your brother just soloed that they got rocked by a 6 year old who can’t read and literally spammed keys 1-6?”

Not that my 6 year old isn’t good at BG’s, but trust me when I say he’s not following any previously established “Skill rotation”. So what does this tell me? Well it tells me that quite literally ANYONE can throw some blues on a DK and open up a PWN shop in any BG, even in AV.

What mystifies me still is that even when other DK’s (I’m assuming being controlled by NON-six year olds) are in the same BG they fall below my 6 year old? Seriously guys what are you doing?

That has me wondering then, if other people, who I’m assuming are older than 6 years old, are playing in the same BG against the same competition and my 6 year old son is still outperforming them does that mean my 6 year old is doing something right?

I guess I’ll have to monitor his strategy a little more closely from now on to pick up on his PVP technique and steal a move or two.

Zygor Guides 3.1 Review

Every once in a while I’ll go back to revist a guide because things have changed so drastically or because it’s been a while since I’d left any information and a lot of people get stuck trying to find the right post entry and such. So today I’ll take a look at Zygor Guides 3.1 patch leveling guide. I have a history with this guide and out of all the guides I’ve tried inevitably I always come back to Zygor. So here’s the most up to date review of Zygor’s Guide. (You can get a 30 day trial HERE)

After having leveled several alts to 60, 70 and 80 I’ve come to one conclusion, leveling sucks. It’s hard, confusing, lonely work and I hate it. I hate it so much in fact that one day many moons ago I tried Zygor Guides at level 60 on my warrior and I’ve never looked back.

Levels 1-60 where fraught with many a wasted night looking for quests objectives, grinding out experience, and trying to use my rested experience as best I could. Even with tools like wowhead and thottbot I often found myself scratching my head in frustration while I went to go take out my frustration in a BG.

Who here has ever opened up their quest log to find it full of quests that you don’t even remember picking up?
Who here has ever opened up their quest log to see green or grey quests that you never got around to because you ventured off somewhere and outpaced the quest?
Who here has ever opened up their quest log to see “(Completed)”...but not necessarily know where to “complete” the quest?

I know I’d done each of these things many a time.

Once I got Zygor’s guide though it was like a veil lifted and I could enjoy the game. I know it sounds odd, but I actually enjoyed the game more because I was able to focus on playing the game and not wandering around aimlessly.

So what does zygor guides do exactly?
Well simply put it organizes your quest for you into a route. Rather than you doing quest haphazardly it lines out which quests to take and in what order to do them in.

How is this beneficial?
Simple, lets say you have 3 quests to do. We’ll call them quests 1, 2 & 3.

Normally without the guide you might do them in the order you got them in, but lets say that quests 1 & 3 are right next to eachother, by that I mean lets say you have to kill 2 types of mobs and they spawn in the same spot. Now lets say quest 2 is in the opposite direction of 1 & 3. Without a guide you might do quest 1, then walk clear over to quest 2, only to start quest 3 realizing you were RIGHT WHERE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE when you were doing quest 1.

Using Zygor Guides basically tells you, “hey don’t be an idiot, do quest 1 and 3 at the same time, then move on to quest 2.
Cool right?

Beyond telling you what order to do them in, Zygor actually gives you NOTES on the quest. Notes like, click on the box behind the desk, or the book is on the third shelf towards the back, or simply kill 10 of x, kill 10 of y.

If the cliff notes to the quest were enough Zygor has also included a BIG ARROW for the simpler people in the crowd (no offense because I use it religiously)

Don’t like arrows, how about markers on your map?

Zygor does all the leg work for you and lets you actually enjoy playing and learning your class.

Zygor is quickly updated for all patches including 3.1

All in all I can’t imagine playing a character now without Zygor Guides, in fact I recently when back and started a new warrior on a different realm and didn’t have Zygor selected in my add-ons. I’m a lazy guy so when I saw it wasn’t selected and I was already loaded I decided it would take to long to log off to load it (yes I’m that lazy) so I went on without it...for about 5 minutes and then I decided playing without it was like pulling my own teeth.

So out of a possible 10 points I would definitely give Zygor’s Leveling Guide a very solid 15.

More Northrend Grinding: Gold Grinding and Level Grinding

I’ve recently been out trying to find more “grind spots” for people. Rather than cover each and every spot that I found I decided to go over some of the “requirements” you need to keep an eye out for. When most people start looking for a place to Grind in Northrend, or anywhere else for that matter, they typically try to find a place with a lot of mobs who drop a lot of silver. This is generally an ok idea. Lots of mobs + lots of gold equals lots of gold for you right? Well yes and no.

More than just looking for more, the idea of picking a grinding spot based on quality is just as important. When looking at mobs you need to take a few things into account.
1. Gold – Obviously this is a key component. You want to find mobs that drop decent amounts of gold.
2. Items – Some mobs drop “auctionable” items, others drop greys, and others drop greens. Here you want to find items that are in high demand or that sell for decent amounts. Certain humanoids, in addition to gold, drop a fair amount of cloth and other items that can stack in 20’s that can be sold for 2-4 gold a pop.
3. Damage and Health – “the bigger they are the harder they fall” doesn’t apply here. Typically the bigger they are the harder they hit yu and the harder it is to kill them. Try to find mobs that have a low amount of health and that take a lot of damage quickly, without dishing it out. This helps decrease the amount of time you have to spend healing or drinking many pots.
4. Respawn Rates - Some mobs respawn in seconds, some in minutes. You want to find mobs that are leaning towards the seconds... The faster they come out the faster you can grind them.

My next northrend grinding spot is out in Zul’ Drak. The name of the city escapes me at the moment, but there is a flight path to it and it’s on the easter side of the zone. It’s in the area with the Giant changed up snow leopard and bear.

Basically right outside of the little city with the flight path there is a square full of Ice Trolls. Ice Trolls in the square and out along the edges.
Step 1. Mount up.
Step 2. pull 2-5 of these guys
Step 3 Kill them and loot.

Wash rinse repeat. Go after the healers first...as they tend to heal. The warriors can do damage to you but if you have any degree of respectable AOE they should not be a problem. I’ve found that lvl 78 is the minimum to use this area to grind for either exp or gold.
Anything below this and you’re most likely not going to have a good time.

Last night I hit this spot up for a quick 200g in about an hour or so. Good grinding spot for greys and greens. Lots of cloth too. EXP wasn’t so bad either with rested exp.

Warcraft Formula - Take your WOW to the next level.

Every now and then a new guide hits the market that captures a niche or hole in information that no other guide has yet covered. Recently, I had a chance to sit down with just such a guide – the incredibly accurate and overwhelmingly detailed new monthly guide being released by Warcraft Formula.

The idea is simple. You pay a small upfront fee for full access to a past library of Warcraft Formula guides going back to the release of Wrath of the Lich King and every month, for $17 you get the newest guide in the series. Each guide comes with PvP strategies, recent news in the game, class strategies, recent gold making options, action plans, and information that is as up to date as it comes, written as often as it is.

You also get a nice bonus in the form of an Action Plan that guides even the noobs among you to build an account from the ground up to be as effective as the pros out there. What Warcraft Formula does is nothing short of astounding, creating a new product that allows users of all skill levels to start out with nothing and build their way up to pro status every month with sharp, pointed strategy guides. It’s not a select guide – you don’t get a leveling guide or a gold guide or PvP guide alone. But, unlike the guys offering those guides, you get information that isn’t three months old and mostly nerfed. You get info as it is added to the game and you get strategies that no one else has seen yet. I was astounded at how much information is included each month in these guides.

Consider the source...Brad Johnson and T Dub Sanders – are the geniuses behind Warcraft Millionaire(arguably THE best gold guide available) and PvP Bible (No argument here it is THE best PVP guide out there), making them the best possible sources for all the top new info in the game. You can’t get much better than the best around in PvP and the best around in gold making. If you’re looking for the next big thing in Warcraft guides, this is it folks – don’t miss out on Warcraft Formula.

My take on this is pretty simple. I've been a very adamant supporter of two levelign guides, Dugis and Zygor, I stand by them, if you want to level this is the way to go.

But what do you do once you've leveled? Settle down and just SUCK? IT's hard work PVPing or knowing what to do in raids. If you're goal is to become an elite wow player then Warcraft Formula is only going to get you there quicker.

Take a look at their site, read what they have to say, this is easily the most affordable guide out there at only $17 & you can always get a refund. Check it out:
