Hi there, So FYI, theres gonna be retail models on the thumbnails for a bit, program I use isn't working for classic models currently with the updates around Shadowlands (and guess who forget to create a backup) So big apologise the increased number of pixels your eyes have to see - very unclassic like, nochanges, reee! Ta ta
I have leveled a paladin to 60 but dont own a second monitor. I listened to videos (like this one) or audiobooks. Mostly it was just me and my thoughts. It felt almost like falling in a trance. Seal, judge, Seal, wait 8 seconds, judge, seal, wait 8 seconds. It felt so rythmyc and safe I could do breathing exercises and enter Zen lol. Hunter I found super fun, micro managing pet, ripping aggro off it when mob is at 30%, sending it of to the next mob, while kiting the low one etc. Using traps, giving people taxi via aspect of the pack. Looking up and taming pets. I also LOVE how auto shot feels, since you need to stop and cast inbetween moving it feels really meaty and satisfying to pull off. Defintely bringing my hunter over to tbc.
I don't play wow but I really appreciate all the effort you did to max all accounts. It is a good feeling seeing someone putting effort to achieve a goal without taking shortcuts! Hope to see more content like this
Wrath will probably be your last chance to play classic, player base will only get lower and lower after the inevitable massive boost wrath will give player base but as with tbc it has slowly lost most players
Damn, good stuff, mate. Personally I've struggled to get a second character past 20. Tons of alts in the 10s limbo while my rogue is stuck in STV at 43 or so.
dunno about best worst is descolace, I hate that place with a passion. I only did it on 2 characters I think because some addon told me to. Never again
Warrior is an easy mode if its not your 1st character on the server. It scales massively with gear, so if you throw some boe at it from time to time you just tear through content.
@@grabeck666 I leveled a warrior as my first toon mostly solo leveling. To say the least it was pain until I realized I had essentially a guaranteed slot in dungeons and just grinded that shit hard. I never wanna see the inside of SM, or ZF ever again
i name them like shamankowi, druidkowi, hunterkowi im a simple man. before that i once called my main troll shaman sheldor and guess what, some years later big bang theorie stole my name -.-
Having leveled multiple druids feral on Classic AND private servers I have to agree that they fall off hard around 45. They get no weapon scaling, and you start to feel it the closer to 60 you get.
I have like 5 level 30s lol i just constantly switch between then never knowing which i want to get 60 then quit because i cant handle the flashbacks from vanilla lol
I leveled a warrior as my one and only class at the this point and while it is definitely boring and difficult for quite a few levels, it's in that difficulty that brings the fun. For the first time in a VERY long time playing WoW I actually had to think about how I engaged mobs in the open world and use some kind of strategy. Kind of refreshing as opposed to the AA and never die machine of hunters (which I also quite like).
What I like about the warrior, is that you have to make all the right decisions. Including your leveling path, so in the lower levels, you are fighting green mobs while leveling, which was achieved by doing both the Barrens and Silverpine. You gotta have the gear, things like sharpening stones, potions, like a real RPG.
Nice job!!! I'm working toward the same thing. I have a 60 warlock and a 57 warrior. Yeah. Took me 8mo for the first 60, so here's hoping Classic lasts YEARS to come because that's how long it's going to take me. I don't play end-game; repeating the same raid every. single. week. doesn't interest me, so dinging 60 is the goal for each toon.
The results and your experience is actually very interesting! I leveled a warrior starting day one and my experience was absolutely the opposite as you. I burned out at level 59 and never managed to get to 60 which really tells the difference we had and I've got around 15 days played. But! You mentioned that you leveled your warrior in a PVE server. I think that is the thing people say about warriors in vanilla, you are just a piece of meat there. Every class, every spec is able to kill you where ever you are and even when they are several levels below you. If I had a counter I think I've died in world PVP in phase 1 at least 1000 times. Stranglethorn vale is a nightmare, Tanaris was absolute nightmare and the Eastern Plaguelands just got the last will to live out of me as there were just ganking parties running around to kill and Winterspring was so Horde dominand that you were lucky to even manage to get there via the tunnel. It is giving me PTSD even to talk about this :D
The warr community will absolutely help you get your WW axe as early as possible, just keep asking nicely. Definitely the highlight of the 1-60 experience
Ive recently leveled my second char, a Priest. Genuinely stunned at how good it is for leveling. I thought as a healing class it would be slow to level. But no, it does more damage than my mage did and uses about 20x less mana! PRIESTS FTW!
Dot and wand is seriously good. Wand is treated as a ranged weapon so has a low resist chance, with talent you can munch through the mobs without using mana.
Finally, the face behind that silken voice. Was not dissapointed, such a handsome buggar. Careful they don't get you to make reaction videos now... Srsly though, what a great video, again. Now I sentimental-watched/listened "was it any good though?" series a dozen times, this hits that nerve also, with so much love for this game. I always get my wowclassic news from WillE in between ironman/hardcoring.
I started a (my first) priest and just got it to 22. It moves reasonably fast (mostly I've played locks, so that probably helped) in solo leveling and I've had a good time with it. Laughing off disease and poisons is nice too.
My friend told me about world of warcraft at work this week , tried it today and did the free trial, I like it a lot,kinda surprised never knew if it was my kinda game but I guess it is
im currently lvling a mage and warrior same time, I'm liking the warrior so much atm I'm trying not to boost either but kinda hard to find groups atm and big gratz on every class to 60
I feel the same way about shaman. I started shaman when classic came out. Specced ele for the later levels and burnt out at level 52. I've tried several times going back and finishing the leveling, but it seems so punishing as a shaman. Going OOM so fast and just copping so much damage. Mage in contrast, was a blast.
I have to say, I’m playing my first wow acc ever, yeah idk how I missed this when I was a kid. I guess I just spent too much time playing RuneScape. However I’m leveling an undead mage and yeah I all I can say is I agree with you on this one ✌🏻
I have warrior, rogue, warlock, mage, and priest. After 5y of classic game time; that's as many as I could endure this time around. I was tempted to do another but my realm has emptied out at this point and low level dungeons are almost non-existent unless you pay for boosts. I don't like boosted runs and my last char already had to rely on them just to do most of the dungeons. Burning crusade will bring life back to the lower brackets for a while thanks to the flood of space goats and anime elves. I'm really tempted to roll up a BC era shaman.
I think those five classes are the best of WoW classic. I got a 60 warrior, priest, rogue, a 48 mage, and 30 warlock, and the other classes, I am just not feeling.
I leveled my first classic character to 60 recently, started in may, I was a unbalanced 2handed fury warrior. It took 17 days and 15 hours, regardless of the hours i did get the classic wow experience.
jerk, beat me to it, I still need to make a pally and finish my warrior, but I've been on the HWL grind. 13 33% today and counting... BTW same thing as you, no boosting, and roughly 7-9 days on each of em... druid>mage>shaman>hunter>priest>rogue>warlock>warrior atm... rank of joy leveling... Mage>War>Priest>warlock>hunter>rogue>shaman>druid
Yeah leveling a warrior is a breeze if you're like me and have a mage main. You can just buy the best blues for your appropriate level and absolutely mow down packs of mobs. I usually bought new sets from AH every 5 or 6 levels and it just ramped up the power to another level entirely.
The classes for me and always will be is Warrior, shammy and Lock. I can never value one over the other of those 3. BTW what is the 10:17 priest shield addon name? Ty.
@@kaid6486 jesus i hope youre joking, cuz it took me 2 monthsto lvl to 18 my warlock... BACK WHEN I WAS FKING 11 ON ASIAN BETA SERVERS AND COULDNT SPEAK ENGLISH IN 2005
Wow I got 2 geared classes and a 39 twink and raid 4 days a week and I don't even touch the surface of some of these people that spend crazy amounts of time playing. I get about 3-4 hours on weekdays and 6 per day on weekend's
Currently started my first character in preparation for TBC launch, and im finding your points regarding the hunter class which is what im lvling 100% true. everything is good but just the same old auto attack with maybe 1 other button rotation all the way up. keeping myself sane by mixing in a bit of gold farming and world exploration between leveling!.. Great Video man!
Both Warlock and Hunter get way more interesting to play when you begin to test the actual limits of the class. Especially as a warlock using a VW you can manage insanely large pulls with little to no downtime. The only problem with leveling a warlock that way is that it requires so intense concentration that it can be quite exhausting. I like leveling Hunters and Paladins precisely because its so laid back. I can think all sorts of things and focus on social activities while playing because all I need to really do is auto attack and the occasional heal. It's also easier to absorb the atmosphere of the game as a paladin due to the fact that leveling doesn't take that much focus and you can stop and smell the roses so to speak even while grinding. Also, managing bigger pulls with pushback immunity is quite fun. With paladin the most fun comes out of, again, testing the limits of what you can survive, something that is lost in TBC. Warrior leveling doesn't really deserve its bad reputation, although I'd really level as a DW fury because fury is so much less vulnerable to the whole miss miss parry miss dodge block miss - song. Perhaps my least favorite class to level is either Shaman or Rogue, I just hate playing those classes.
I leveled a warrior on fury and while it is undeniably worse than arms... it was still tons of fun to play. Warrior levelling really is a blast in classic.
i only have played 1 class troll mage u made my experience so much better thanks! i literally knew nothing about the game and just joined classic :) now i rank 14 without picking undead xd cheers man
Paladin may be slow but you are nearly indestructible, 2 bubbles, cleanse, cheap heals and if all else fail lay on hands for that second life. Also one of the key things about playing a character with extra hit procs like enh shaman/paladin or sword spec warrior/rogue is using a weapon with a big bonus damage proc, it gives you a big boost to DPS and can proc off every single hit, even judgement on paladin.
Warrior 2nd quite surprising for me. You're definitely right about gear being important - warr was my main & 1st and only char on Classic. Huge fun to tank dungeons in arms spec & great in open world till around lvl 40. After that, wasn't able to scrounge gold or good gear easily so it was a SLOG (got my WW axe with help at around 38, had van cleef quest legs till 35ish, scarlet helmet and leggings on till about 55). Leveling 50-60 was spoiled though due to open world honour launch so if it weren't for that, probably 9/10 would main again.
Hold on, did you actually complained that hunter is boring leveling because all it does is sends pet in and shoots while you enjoyed priest which literally levels with combination of shadow word pain and a wand all the way to the 60? What?
I was the 2nd warrior on my server to hit 60 and I had a lot of fun leveling it. Admittadly I probably would have been 5th or so but all the rest did a MC raid at 57-59 and I power leveled instead and they wipped multiple times. I have taken a long break from classic due to health problems, but I am back and gearing my warrior and leveling my Druid now. I found (pre world buffs mind) that Arms warrior was the way to go to 50 and 50-60 I swapped to Fury. Arms really tappered off for me and I was struggling to kill level 46 mobs as a 50. Swapped to Fury and I was mowing down mobs 1-2 levels above me again.
"100 days so pretty casual play". Classic has been out for like a year. That means you have spent 1/3 of your total time alive playing WoW for the last year. That means you play WoW pretty more than 50% of your total time awake. Casual? WTF?
It really is casual, myself and a couple of people I met VERY early on in classic had 70-80 days played by early phase 2 (about 3 1/2 months into classic I had about 60 days played around that time) every hardcore pvper that has reached rank 13-14 has EASLY put in 30-50 days played just on the grind alone
instead of the buff you could say: if you sub you will be aware of every new video and listening it while leveling makes the experience feel 30% faster, chilling in a frozen lake each moment feels eternal, chilling with willie eternity becomes a moment good work
On shaman leveling: Surprisingly the best way for me was to level as a healer. No: I did not do dungeon grinds. Instead I placed down Stonescale Totem, Went meele (Healers have decent options for meele weapons. SM Mace, Strat Staff, the works.) and placed down manaspring totem. As soon as I could I healed myself and placed down a Firenova totem, followed by magmatotem and healing. This results in me killing 3 mobs on average at the same time, with very little downtime. As soon as you get manatide: You can pretty much forget about having to drink. Also: If you want some passive killing, just go meele with a staff and windfury, while healing yourself once. Against one mob, that works fine, while you watch youtube videos :P
Hijacking this comment, for us shaman tricks best way to level usually is a super fast 1h dagger with shield on windfury build. The super fast AS of dagger and low high-end damage makes it that WF procs regulalry while having as minimal overkill damage as possible. Currently its the standarized norm to level shamans if you are autistic and want to keep up with other classes on F R E S H
I'm gonna chime in on the Warrior levelling experience by saying that in my opinion, it is VERY dependent on whether Warrior is your first character or not. If you're a fresh player coming to the game for the first time and don't know how to play, and you've decided that you just want to hit stuff in the face hard, then levelling a Warrior is a fucking *miserable* experience. Have to eat after every mob, block block dodge parry miss, if a mob ever runs away and brings back a friend, or something ever just wanders into you whilst you're already engaged in combat you're kind of screwed. The list goes on, and the fact of the matter is Warrior is an awful class for someone who doesn't actually understand the game well. If, on the other hand, you've already got a cap level character and you're rolling a Warrior ALT? That is some of the smoothest sailing you can get. Bankrolling the character with large bag space, constant gear upgrades whenever you're a high enough level for something new and having every consumable you could ever want makes all the difference in the world. And if you actually know to stick around cities at certain times to collect world buffs? You're an absolute killing machine for 2 hours. tl;dr I think Warrior is the worst levelling class for a new player, and one of the best ones for an experienced player.
Will honestly I know that you say you did not want to air grind but honestly it's so so fun once you get into it and learn pulls it becomes addictive to want to get the pull better and better until you are perfect I know many many people who agree
What is a better addons then questest. I need an addons that would prioritize quest by zone and level and tell you what route to take for fast leveling. Any ideas? Thanks.
Well GZ mate :D my Progress in Classic is the following. 4x lvl 60's on Stonespine Horde, Shaman/Rogue/Warrior/Hunter all 4 is MC/BWL/ZG/AQ20 near full BiS, and 1 lvl 42 Mage. Gehennes 1 lvl 46 Rogue and Noggenfogger 1 lvl 35 mage :D and all this also without boosting.
The secret to enhance is to use Rockbiter solo and down rank your earth, and frost shocks to interrupt and kite. You use max flameshock for the dot. And totems!
I got one 60 mage, several toons in the range from 10-22 and 2 warriors (gnome 30 and orc 42). With SL being out now Classic has fallen a bit behind but I want my Dagger Fury/Prot Gnome Warrior so bad, I'll have to find some time to get her to 60.

@@kaid6486 jesus i hope youre joking, cuz it took me 2 monthsto lvl to 18 my warlock... BACK WHEN I WAS FKING 11 ON ASIAN BETA SERVERS AND COULDNT SPEAK ENGLISH IN 2005
Wow I got 2 geared classes and a 39 twink and raid 4 days a week and I don't even touch the surface of some of these people that spend crazy amounts of time playing. I get about 3-4 hours on weekdays and 6 per day on weekend's
I'm leveling my paladin while watching this, but i'm not giving up. Leveling a paladin is a struggle for sure.

"I Have Leveled Every Class To 60 Without Boosts!

everyone else:
Why tho?
Congrats !!! this many years later and this is still a dream in classic for me
Congrats mate, you can get yourself outside now. I started in phase 1 and have a lvl 43
"20% faster, no really!" I unironically believe this. Congrats WillE!!!!
I just say, I was NOT expecting mage to make the top of your list. Great video regardless. I liked the format!
This video is a perfect example of the phrase "to each their own." I shook my head to about 80% of what was just said. However, congrats man!
Currently started my first character in preparation for TBC launch, and im finding your points regarding the hunter class which is what im lvling 100% true. everything is good but just the same old auto attack with maybe 1 other button rotation all the way up. keeping myself sane by mixing in a bit of gold farming and world exploration between leveling!.. Great Video man!
My dream still remains to finish leveling my Paladin, doing Nax and getting Ashbringer. Though that's a pretty lofty dream
Both Warlock and Hunter get way more interesting to play when you begin to test the actual limits of the class. Especially as a warlock using a VW you can manage insanely large pulls with little to no downtime. The only problem with leveling a warlock that way is that it requires so intense concentration that it can be quite exhausting. I like leveling Hunters and Paladins precisely because its so laid back. I can think all sorts of things and focus on social activities while playing because all I need to really do is auto attack and the occasional heal. It's also easier to absorb the atmosphere of the game as a paladin due to the fact that leveling doesn't take that much focus and you can stop and smell the roses so to speak even while grinding. Also, managing bigger pulls with pushback immunity is quite fun. With paladin the most fun comes out of, again, testing the limits of what you can survive, something that is lost in TBC.
Warrior leveling doesn't really deserve its bad reputation, although I'd really level as a DW fury because fury is so much less vulnerable to the whole miss miss parry miss dodge block miss - song. Perhaps my least favorite class to level is either Shaman or Rogue, I just hate playing those classes.
I leveled a warrior on fury and while it is undeniably worse than arms... it was still tons of fun to play. Warrior levelling really is a blast in classic.
love your videos man! thanks for always having good content!
Wille, great content. keep this up you will be getting a ton of subs as TBC comes out. Good luck mate
Leveling is the best part of Classic WOW. Grats Wille
Congrats, that's quite a feat!
i only have played 1 class troll mage u made my experience so much better thanks! i literally knew nothing about the game and just joined classic :) now i rank 14 without picking undead xd cheers man
Paladin may be slow but you are nearly indestructible, 2 bubbles, cleanse, cheap heals and if all else fail lay on hands for that second life. Also one of the key things about playing a character with extra hit procs like enh shaman/paladin or sword spec warrior/rogue is using a weapon with a big bonus damage proc, it gives you a big boost to DPS and can proc off every single hit, even judgement on paladin.
Warrior 2nd quite surprising for me. You're definitely right about gear being important - warr was my main & 1st and only char on Classic. Huge fun to tank dungeons in arms spec & great in open world till around lvl 40. After that, wasn't able to scrounge gold or good gear easily so it was a SLOG (got my WW axe with help at around 38, had van cleef quest legs till 35ish, scarlet helmet and leggings on till about 55). Leveling 50-60 was spoiled though due to open world honour launch so if it weren't for that, probably 9/10 would main again.
Hold on, did you actually complained that hunter is boring leveling because all it does is sends pet in and shoots while you enjoyed priest which literally levels with combination of shadow word pain and a wand all the way to the 60? What?
If warrior isnt your first char, then it is pretty quick. Having max level bandages throughout the process is huge
I was the 2nd warrior on my server to hit 60 and I had a lot of fun leveling it. Admittadly I probably would have been 5th or so but all the rest did a MC raid at 57-59 and I power leveled instead and they wipped multiple times. I have taken a long break from classic due to health problems, but I am back and gearing my warrior and leveling my Druid now. I found (pre world buffs mind) that Arms warrior was the way to go to 50 and 50-60 I swapped to Fury. Arms really tappered off for me and I was struggling to kill level 46 mobs as a 50. Swapped to Fury and I was mowing down mobs 1-2 levels above me again.
congratulations! This was plan early on, but I only managed to get two to 60.
Getting back into wow after being gone for many years. Hope it's as fun as I remember lol.
Congrats on the grind mate! All the characters for TBC
"100 days so pretty casual play". Classic has been out for like a year. That means you have spent 1/3 of your total time alive playing WoW for the last year. That means you play WoW pretty more than 50% of your total time awake.
Casual? WTF?
It really is casual, myself and a couple of people I met VERY early on in classic had 70-80 days played by early phase 2 (about 3 1/2 months into classic I had about 60 days played around that time) every hardcore pvper that has reached rank 13-14 has EASLY put in 30-50 days played just on the grind alone
It was released August 26/27th, 2019, that's closer to one and a half year, than one year, 456-ish days ago.
Yea thats not casual thats pure nolifing
Loved that video!
instead of the buff you could say: if you sub you will be aware of every new video and listening it while leveling makes the experience feel 30% faster, chilling in a frozen lake each moment feels eternal, chilling with willie eternity becomes a moment
good work
What do we do now...?
Now we play the game.
On shaman leveling: Surprisingly the best way for me was to level as a healer. No: I did not do dungeon grinds.
Instead I placed down Stonescale Totem, Went meele (Healers have decent options for meele weapons. SM Mace, Strat Staff, the works.) and placed down manaspring totem. As soon as I could I healed myself and placed down a Firenova totem, followed by magmatotem and healing. This results in me killing 3 mobs on average at the same time, with very little downtime. As soon as you get manatide: You can pretty much forget about having to drink.
Also: If you want some passive killing, just go meele with a staff and windfury, while healing yourself once. Against one mob, that works fine, while you watch youtube videos :P
Hijacking this comment, for us shaman tricks best way to level usually is a super fast 1h dagger with shield on windfury build. The super fast AS of dagger and low high-end damage makes it that WF procs regulalry while having as minimal overkill damage as possible. Currently its the standarized norm to level shamans if you are autistic and want to keep up with other classes on F R E S H
Grats on having pulled it off. I finishied with 8 60s myself early August (no paladin).
Glad to see that someone else enjoys levelling in classic like I do. I'm.on character number 12 right now.
I'm gonna chime in on the Warrior levelling experience by saying that in my opinion, it is VERY dependent on whether Warrior is your first character or not. If you're a fresh player coming to the game for the first time and don't know how to play, and you've decided that you just want to hit stuff in the face hard, then levelling a Warrior is a fucking *miserable* experience. Have to eat after every mob, block block dodge parry miss, if a mob ever runs away and brings back a friend, or something ever just wanders into you whilst you're already engaged in combat you're kind of screwed. The list goes on, and the fact of the matter is Warrior is an awful class for someone who doesn't actually understand the game well.
If, on the other hand, you've already got a cap level character and you're rolling a Warrior ALT? That is some of the smoothest sailing you can get. Bankrolling the character with large bag space, constant gear upgrades whenever you're a high enough level for something new and having every consumable you could ever want makes all the difference in the world. And if you actually know to stick around cities at certain times to collect world buffs? You're an absolute killing machine for 2 hours.
tl;dr I think Warrior is the worst levelling class for a new player, and one of the best ones for an experienced player.
Love your vids. Keep up the good work!
Congrats man! Huge accomplishment!
You are truly a madman for doing this
Drain Tanking Warlock has been my favourite way to play, so much fun and once you get the hang of it can just keep on rolling
tnx for playing almost 2000 hours to bring us this 14 min video mate !
Will honestly I know that you say you did not want to air grind but honestly it's so so fun once you get into it and learn pulls it becomes addictive to want to get the pull better and better until you are perfect I know many many people who agree
Nice. I dont even play the game anymore but your videos are quite entertaining.
What is a better addons then questest. I need an addons that would prioritize quest by zone and level and tell you what route to take for fast leveling. Any ideas? Thanks.
Well GZ mate :D
my Progress in Classic is the following.
4x lvl 60's on Stonespine Horde, Shaman/Rogue/Warrior/Hunter all 4 is MC/BWL/ZG/AQ20 near full BiS, and 1 lvl 42 Mage.
Gehennes 1 lvl 46 Rogue and Noggenfogger 1 lvl 35 mage :D
and all this also without boosting.
The secret to enhance is to use Rockbiter solo and down rank your earth, and frost shocks to interrupt and kite. You use max flameshock for the dot. And totems!
I got one 60 mage, several toons in the range from 10-22 and 2 warriors (gnome 30 and orc 42). With SL being out now Classic has fallen a bit behind but I want my Dagger Fury/Prot Gnome Warrior so bad, I'll have to find some time to get her to 60.
Congrats ! Wow i thought you look completly diffrent.
Gz. You are mad man. The amount of pacient :)
