You sound upset.

^ Not currently possible on Elysium, which I assume the OP is since he's leveling Lupos.

The short answer is that for most people, yes, it is.

Leveling Lupos is a pain. Up until around 40 it goes pretty fast because you can blow up level 30-40 mobs without his help and he'll gain XP. Once he hits 40 though you'll have a bit more of a problem since mobs at that level become more of an issue killing on your own. It's not hard, it just takes longer. My recommended spot is the ghosts just north of the Alliance FP in Azshara. They're low 40's and have low health so you can roll them without any issue. I leveled two different pets there from about 38-50. At 50 you can start taking them in dungeons, just keep them on passive or hide them around a corner or something. Just be careful will aggro since at 50 they'll pull stuff because of their low level.

One thing to keep in mind is that in vanilla right clicking on a mob won't initiate your ranged attack. You have to either use the shoot ability or use something like arcane shot or a sting to get your auto shots going. Could be your issue.

Stay BM all the way to 60. Leveling as BM is probably the easiest in the game. You can't raid as BM because your pets won't survive most encounters and you'll do garbage damage because of it, but up until that point you can stay BM. BM is also a good PvP spec so if that's your main focus you could keep the spec indefinitely, though you may want to swap a few talents around at 60.

Not everyone joins just for a quick win or loss. Some people join to grind the mobs inside. Some join just to have fun killing other players. Some join to farm rep or items via turn ins. Some join to complete specific quests they have in their logs. The point is not everyone in the AV joins just to rush and kill Vann/Drek. AV isn't WSG where there's literally a single objective, nor was it designed to be.

What rank of Furious Howl? It lasts for 10 seconds on Elysium.

Horde have an easy chokepoint on the way to Aid Station. Put a few mages there and half the offense gets rolled before they even get down to FW. That causes them to rez midfield and go back to play defense because there's no way they're making it through the archers solo or as a small group. Horde forces turtles by causing the offense of Alliance to wipe at the chokepoint.

Horde wins the majority of AV, but I haven't noticed an imbalance in the other BGs. I've played 8 WSG's today and have won 5 as Alliance.

I'd agree that Org is the most convenient city due to everything being there. It's still badly designed. The design of Ironforge and to a lesser extent Stormwind are much better.

I can still login and see all characters. They're going to start taking the realms down for the transfers to finish, though.

Guessing he means Aguila.

Correct. Merging Darrowshire with Elysium makes zero sense.

In premades, maybe. Pugs typically aren't geared or coordinated enough to kill the generals with adds up.

Dunno what you're talking about, I used to farm Arcane Crystals every day in Winterspring.

It's pretty clear you have no real argument for this issue, so why bother participating?

Vendor discounts, that's about it. That said, it's likely you'll need to use more than one leveling zone unless you plan on grinding. Doing something like Loch Modan by itself won't be enough to level you, so it's generally a lot more efficient to do multiple zones, including Darkshore.

I'm a little surprised they didn't take Ely down while the transfers were happening.

Mage is just whiny, I'd roll on that as a Holy Paladin.

As someone who plays on ZK and will soon be transferring to Ely, I wouldn't mind the patches being released quicker with an eventual merge of the servers. While most of the releases for Elysium are fairly well timed, some of them are extensive for no real reason. Most of the releases are two months, which seems like a decent period. However, patch 1.8 contains the Dragons of Nightmare with no other major content, but it lasts three months. Patch 1.10 contains no major content at all, yet it's another three months. You could take both of those down to a month and a half without any real repercussions to save a bit of time.

TB is honestly easier to navigate than Org is.

It always makes me confused when people say they miss or like Orgrimmar. It's like the worst designed city in the game.

Yep. The only pet with intentional resistances that I can think of is Snarler, but he also doesn't have his +100 to all on Elysium/ZK.

Then this project isn't for you. And lol at the casual card.
