As for the subject of this thread, I am boomkin, leveled as boomkin, and I dont recall any troubles with leveling while being 86-89.
It s funny when I am reading that boomkin should heal himself, which is a freaking obvious thing to do.
Perhaps if someone got main pure dps char, then when he s playing boomkin - selfheals arent that obvious.
Maybe I am used to boomkin, as I played only boomkin class for last 18 months 8 hours a day on average.
Self healing is a bit like part of your rotation while you re pulling packs, or elite, or rares.
Subject suggesting there is something wrong with leveling as boomkin is obviously RIDICULOUS,
and people advocating this BS are obviously lacking basic understanding and skill of boomkin spec.
