Well I'm a bit of a PALADINLORELOVER (main reason I rolled one) so I'm looking forward to Northrend just cause it seems to be a lot of undead based areas. Being able to actually use Exorcism and Holy Wrath and shit will be fun. I enjoyed the Plaguelands for that same reason. They are actually pretty crap spells (mana intensive, Holy Wrath especially), but even so, I just felt like I had a use.

Also the instances in the Plaguelands (Scholo, Strat, and Naxx though I never saw much of it) are damn cool, so hopefully there will be more of that ilk in Northrend.

Haha Darkshore, what a shit zone.

I didn't mind BC zones really. Have to say I do somewhat agree with UPRC about SMV, its just a depressing place to be. The rest of the zones I either liked or didn't mind. Northrend does look nicer on the whole however. Plus there is much more of the "I remember this place from WC3, cooool" factor which is something I enjoyed a lot when leving for the first time in Azeroth.

There are a few minor niggles I have though...

Sunwell Plateau. Oh hey there Kalecgos, how nice to meet you, lets fight Kil'jaeden together buddy! Northrend. Hello Blue Dragonflight, *stabbity stab stab*

Its nice they are continuing the Ulduman storyline in Ulduar, and the Halls of Stone and Lightning are looking awesome. But, what happened to Uldum? Do you go from Ulduman to Ulduar with the discs that you got and then to Uldum, because if so that kind of doesn't make all that much sense to me considering the quest you got to check out Uldum and all.

CoT Strat. I wonder what they will do with this considering in the mission you kept killing Mal'ganis and he would respawn, do you fight him multiple times in this instance as well or is it going to be a more linear affair with the infinite dragonflight cocking around. I feel they should appear anyway, what they did in Hyjal where they just forgot about the ID was completely fucking stupid, and disappointing.

Don't play a paladin.

With the current build it's really easy as a Death Knight (nerf Death and Decay), I've hit 61 already, that and the 60-70 Leveling Speed was increased

is Death and Decay the spell I've seen where like, there's this flash and a fucking LASER ESQUE thing flies out from the sky and bam more 120's than you can count go flying out all across the screen?

Also, the game is still on its upswing. The subscription number is still getting up, it hasn't reached its peak/had its screw up, yet.

paladin is my favorite class. healadins kinda suck (FLASH HEAL FLASH HEAL FLASH HEAL) but dps is hell of fun, so they are good for leveling but i'd imagine shitty for endgame because you will be either tank or healer.
yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

it does but leveling is still one of the most boring things ever.  if your question is IS IT QUICKER then yes it is but if your question is IS IT BETTER then no sadly it's still terrible

yeah i mean really you have to not play until you have full rest, then use up your rest but then STOP AGAIN. it still sucks but at least you feel efficient or whatever. mounts at 30 is pretty neat it makes it slightly less UGH RUN

Yeah, I'll try and take a video of it, to show off how ridiculous it is.

Okay I play a Paladin, I mostly PvP so he's Retribution (Holy is really not as good as used to be it outside of 5s tbh, plus it fits better with Mark who is my 2v2 partner and he is a Frost Mage) but I'm also gearing up for Protection (some random Blacksmith craftables and stuff).

I'll just say this: if you like the game to be easy in PvP don't roll one. Not to say they're a BAD CLASS but typical example is my only 2 like DECENT 2v2 setups would be with a Frost Mage or a Rogue. Compare that to a Druid, Rogue, etc, they have infinite possibilities. Me and Mark have played like Mage/Rogue, Mage/Warlock and Mage/Retadin and I have to say I've found the latter the most fun I've ever had in Arena. It requires perfect timing to get a big HoJ shatter combo off, but it's great when you get it right and beat standard gay Warrior/Druid team #45345345. Also having Seal of Justice is the best shit ever. I love idiots who don't dismount when it's judged on them.

Paladin is a fucking blast in Battlegrounds (if you're Ret). If I'm bored I'll just go into WSG, grab the berserker buff, find a nice healer and run around with my wings up 2 shotting everybody. It has some sick burst damage. It's a good frustration vent. Also you got blessings and all that crap and it's a nice support class if you play it right. Good luck fighting a healer in a 1v1 though. No healing debuff hurts.

However if you're going mainly for PvE endgame I think Paladin's quite a good choice. Everyone says Holy is boring as fuck (and I'd agree) but I've done a few random instances with my TERRIBLE Prot gear and man that's fun. From what I can tell Protadins are quite nice to have in raids too (best threat generation, good for tanking many mobs at once). As for Ret, I don't know many PvE Retadins but it IS, despite what people say, viable. One in a raid can add a few nice buffs (raid wide +3% crit, +2% damage to all in party, refresh judgements on target with Crusader Strike) and if you get your rotation right you can do reasonable DPS too. Good luck getting a raid spot as Ret though.

I haven't levelled any characters for a while, (and I don't plan to cause it is boring as fuck) however, it's a lot quicker than it used to be since they buffed experience gains in pre-TBC zones. Paladin's are a slow levelling class I might add.

imo go for it and level a Paladin, it has it's bad points but it's fun imo.

While I play my Retadin for PvE I just find it boring as hell, it's just constantly mashing 3 Buttons slowly. I agree it's much more fun in PvP, but I still prefer my Rogue currently for it.

On another note apparently Death and Decay is bugged which is why it's so overpowered, it hits twice per tick.
