PL'ers

[byole]

So I was told Monk PL's were the best in the game. Got talked into buying one, two hours later, I had three levels. I was just wondering if I got scammed or is this normal? I was in my low teens -- I felt like going with a druid might have been better for the price? I don't know, just want to know what other people's experience with power leveling is.

Powerleveling is somewhat class and gear dependent. However, as a druid powerleveler of considerable experience, my opinion is that you would have been much better off with a druid for these levels. Up to 25, it's pretty hard to beat a druid. We're still pretty good for powerleveling melee classes to 30 or 35, but after that it really slows down. This is exactly the point where monks really start to shine.

As a rule of thumb, I'd say beg some buffs in the EC tunnel up to level 10, get a druid to help up to 30 and then look for a monk. Three levels in two hours is pretty bad.

I could get any toon from 1-20 in less then 3 hours as long as they're somewhat twinked. Thats including manastone/ES legs and lvl 60.

[Tasslehofp99]

With ES legs can also pl all the way to 60 basically, lol.

Back in my day i could take someone from lvl 1 to lvl 20 in an hour. Any class race combo.

Back when level cap was 50 I got someone from 14 to 36 in 5 hours, but that was a rogue which in my opinion was the easiest class to monk PL. A lot of it has to do with the PLer's knowledge and attentiveness, but at the same time I PL'd quite a few people who could have gotten a lot more levels had they paid more attention and followed my instructions. I think a lot of people thought getting PL'd meant they didn't have to do any work, which made my job harder than their EXP gain slower.

Would really need more details (level/gear of monk, levels you were PL'd, your class, zone used, mobs you were killing, etc) to know whether or not you got shitty PL or some other factor resulted in what you viewed as poor exp gain.

I'm not suggesting that this is what happened in your case...

But it's generally true. If the pl-ee is paying attention and following instructions, the exp will flow much, much faster.

A smart shaman craps on a druid easily, except maybe donals + mana stone cleric in classic zones.

If I were to drop 20k on PLing, I would undoubtedly go with a Shaman. Yes a Monk might burn you to 50 quickly, but the effort involved is not worth it.

[Fountree]

I disagree Kagok. Druids are the best PL'ers up to 30 hands down. A well geared druid can PL up to lvl 60. Monks become better after level 35ish. And I can PL most classes to 60 without falling below 85m (don't need canni). Beyond 45, it won't be fast, but still arguably better than shammies. Once they allow snare to stack with root, epic will make druids > shammies in almost all cases, unless of course you guys buy DS pots :P

[Fountree]

And as an extra note, after level 54 I probably shouldn't even use the term "PL" , at that point your just helping someone along with the grind and speeding things up a tad.

[Alawen]

My background with this is empirical, not theoretical. Unless the shaman is burning DS potions, druid beats shaman or monk at sub-30.

I don't know what these other druids are talking about after level 40. I guess I could group with someone and charm bears, but that would be a lot more like grinding than power leveling.

No one can powerlevel a melee faster than a Monk or Mage levels 20-50.

I'll take that bet at level 20 in a heartbeat. Mages are missing this thing called healing. While your mage is watching the super-twinked melee regen with his fungi, I'm watching my semi-twinked continue to kill reds.

[Alawen]

Well, mages don't really need healing for the same reason monks don't. They can just have a pet solo something down and reclaim it at 1% and have the PLee kill it for exp.

And you think that's faster to resummon a pet for each mob? I think no.

A character powerleveled by a druid will also have maximum offense, defense, dodge, etc.

[Nerosys]

If you are PLing as a shaman for profits and you are not buying DS pots.

You are doing it wrong.

ill smoke all of your PLs with a monk period....

[Thulack]

Since your all showing your PLing Epeen's anyone want to PL me sometime this week(est nights). looking to get ranger from 15 to 39ish. Hit me up with a PM with a quote. He twinked to the gills for most part.

[Orruar]

I'm not familiar with the rate of xp gain with monk PL. How long would it take for a monk to PL a monk or rogue with about 0-20% xp penalty from 30 to 40?

[Enygma]

sounds like you hired a bad... my PLs = 2-3 levels per 30mins from 1-20 and approx 3-4 levels from 20-35ish.

you got owned.
