Soloing and Kiting With Avengers Shield

As a Paladin and a WoW player I'm damn good at Soloing, Instances need work though, but I'm aware of it thats important. I've never had a problem leveling Galo since been protec spec since level 10. Some people love Avengers Shield and some don't spec for it. But at 41 points it was a must have for me. Paladins don't have much to range pull unless your a Blood Elf and you can Mana Tap a Caster or have Linken Boomerang (Un'Goro) which I still have and carry in bag. As a Paladin you hate Casters to say the least. OK I damn hate casters so hate to pull them at range if can help it.

I found sometime it hard to gather up melee or physical hitting mobs all in one group to AoE. So often I like to play with Avengers Shield and toss it around for fun. I found just through game play you can pick a group of mobs by tossing Avengers Shield to hit as many as possible for aggro pull. Then immediately start to run into another group of mob close by and drop a seal on those other mob in a group or close by each other, the other mobs come running into melee range and all of a sudden you got AoE action. Easy does it, it works and I do it all the time, just watch for casters.

No one ever really taught me how to kite a mob, seems a usual for Hunters and those classes. Never knew what it mean't for a long time too. In Bone Waste Land in Terokkar Forest doing a quest had a hard time completing a quest to kill a Big Draenei Demon Levixus there on the platform there at Auchindoun. I often hate to ask for help on quests. So I tried to solo that guy at least four times. I hate to give up when Soloing! He got lots of HP and the infernals adds he spawns. Finally I tried to see if could kite him to the Elite Shat'ar Vindicator or to the camp there nearby. Took a while trial and error with Avengers Shield, he kept resetting. But it eventually worked kiting him. Good think I hit F13 often to take screenshots, forget I had the pic above.

At range toss Avengers Shield and Demon comes running looks kinda slow since he so big, I start running also. I immediately drop a low rank consecration for him to run through as it ticks. I make sure he still following using \ key (to see behind me) running forward. As soon as cooldown up on consecration I drop another. He still following, good he didn't reset and run back. Try to avoid running into add mobs along the way if can help it. Drop another low rank consecration, to tick off as he run through. This worked for me felt good! I got the Demon to the Elite Shat'ar Vindicator guards, the kiting worked. Only problem.... I had a lot of other adds from consecration walking into ticks as well as infernals. Demon got killed. So that kiting worked. Too bad though... I couldn't loot the Demon. With so much adds, I didn't do enough damage to it to be able to loot it. Quest not yet complete, so its a project to do it again for the skill and fun.

Avengers Shield = Fun (lots of Aggro), toss it around for pulling, toss it to hit mobs and run away to other mobs. Toss it around a corner to pull or and safer to hit Casters that way, break line of sight. Avengers Shield do miss sometimes also. If you Kite as a Paladin some other way love to hear about it.

Feralas


I like been out in Feralas area, its a nice area to Solo from low 40's lvl up and have a nice fishing spot there also. There is a nice spot there to fish in the river in middle of map where the bridge is, its also where you get a quest fish for Artesian fishing quest from Nate Pag. Tried to catch some Stonescale Eel fish in the river there and no luck for 20 min but did catch a bunch of fish and lvl up fishing to 302 a bit since i picked up Master Angler Training for fishing to raise skill to 375.

Went hunting for some food supplies (currently out of buff foods) and killed a bunch of wolfs and other mobs, stormed some raider & shaman camps (fun) and had fun doing AOE smackdown on a Brute camp refining some pally combo skills. Found some Purple lotus herbs in this area as it has lots of ruins. This area is pretty fun. Completed one quest from Tanaris here, but i barely quested in this area to say the least and need to revisit here should be pretty easy to complete most quests here quickly. I would say in the 40's Tanaris and Feralas some the best place to solo quest in, Tanaris been a desert area and Feralas more lush green forested area with ruins.

Need to do some more fishing to lvl up the skill vs trying to just reach 48, its fun anyway never know what you will fish up. So heading to do deep water fishing in the Forbidden Sea and catch some very good rare fish and to lvl up cooking skills for food. I once caught a 52 lbs grouper here so gona try my luck there again. To me its one of the best places to fish in the Forbidden Sea.

Soloing Tanaris


Took the trip to Tanaris to do some quests i had Q'd up as haven't been back to tanaris in a while. I like been here its great place for a person who likes to Solo. Did two quests real quick as have to head to RL work in a short while. Its working weekend.

Did the quest for the Wastewander had to kill 3 sets of mobs on the plain a mix of rouges and shadow mages and such & got Caliph's head as i found him in the area also. Did it easy first testing them out protection style and using shadow protection aura. Was doing fine, just taking a while, so easy switch in mid fight to high damage 1H using both the big Axe and Sword alternating each in a fight easily. That's my trade mark as a pally (Paladin) i can use both 1H weapons and 2H weapons interchangibly in a fight depends on situation and mobs around me. However i think for me i'm a versatile warrior in that i'm the only person i know that carry all weapons as a pally can use at all times that been 8 weapons (1H & 2H both Axe, Mace, Sword and Polearm) and a spiked shield. Some people think i'm nuts but then again i don't die that often either. The 1H weapons are my always starter weapon and always make sure its a very fast weapon to proc with Renocking been Protection spec for return damage and extra swings meaning more damage in shorter amount of time. I always make sure i have the very best shield and spike it to reduce damage to self. Killed everything easily oon the plain. Always kill the spell caster first in a fight with a clothy it saves you the health drain from mystic magic, the physical damage i can take easily in a fight. So completed 2 quests and futher inch ever closser to lvl 48.
