Okay, I have played nothing but pure DPS classes. Warlock through TBC and Rogue in WotLK. So I am marginally unenligtened when it comes to other aspects of the game. Anyways, I have gotten sick of constantly looking for healers, so I figured what better to do than to roll one. Since I can't stomach playing a tauren, I am left with pallys as the only other multi-hybrid do-it-all class. I am excited.
I was instance grinding my way through vanilla WoW till my DK friend transfered to another server thanks to the 1k ques on my server. Anyways, I am 33 now. I am specced Ret, which is apparently extremely boring till 50ish with crusader strike. I loaded him up with heirloom items: shoulders, axe, trinkets. However, I guess I am not used to classic Azeroth. Its big, it's spread out, it's slow.
So I was wondering if anyone had advice on interesting, quirky ways to level pallys specifically.
Is ret single target DPS the way to go? or is prot AoE grinding the way to go? If so, anyone know of any guides on where to go, key equipment to pick up, etc?
thanks!
