Heya friends!

Looking for some advice. I'm a prot warrior and duoing with a resto shaman. We've decided to level through dungeons, at least until dual spec + winning some BoE blue lotteries to fund it.

Dungeons seem to be quite slow. Not sure about my friend, but, including AFK time and time spent doing the Warrior quests for fun, I'm at 82 hours /played at level 34, which seems quite slow.

I'm wondering if anyone here has advice for making dungeons more efficient? Some things I've considered:

  • Try recruiting for a group that will do chain runs of the best instance available in range
  • Melee DPS are preferable due to Windfury totem and prot's limited native AoE threat gen
  • People lower in the best dungeon's level range keep the exp high
  • Move on to the next highest dungeon as soon as possible without lingering for loot that hasn't dropped

Thanks all!

You could try melee groups to take advantage of that wf and research all the possible shortcuts.

yeah, I think the problem was having a rotation of randoms, so lots of time waiting; although clear times were pretty consistent overall. also a lot of time spent doing quests. the post-dungeon voyage for handins always nuked the exp/h rate.

I finished up at 303 hours to 60, which was an extremely long journey. I think questing you can do it in 75-80h if you're really efficient.
