honestly i just think this dude is funny af the way he talks. I started paladin this time around and randomly found this channel looking for paladin info guides and im hooked on this guys videos! keep it coming dude! also i wonder why is your OS in chinese or whatever? you sound american, would love some background on that lol! keep it up!

[@DesertTOON]

Hey man, Great videos. If I may make a suggestion- it would be cool if you made a vanilla anniversary guide how to most efficiently lvl up your paladin I.e. the talent tree steps, progression, gear, skills to ignore, where to focus/prioritise your budget lvling up? Weapons, gear, bag space? Like a complete comprehensive guide.. and would be amazing with some time stamps for when we find ourselves coming back to your videos! Godspeed brother

[@pallytime2156]

I made one like that fairly recently like a week ago.

[@wigle02]

@@pallytime2156I will try to find it

[@MaitreMechant]

thanks a lot for your vids. I leveled a paladin to 60 in HC with the AOE spirit/stam technique last year and it was great. For classic fresh (non HC) this year I wanted to try leveling as deep ret strenght/spirit since survival was not really a problem but I ended up respec at 41 back to the spirit/stam aoe build because, like you said, the most important is to have fun and I find that spirit/stam AOE is way more fun for me and i can tank dungeons too between quests

[@pallytime2156]

Sounds about right. I still got to get use to Stam/Spirt AoE Farming Personally. Mobs should die same time I think.

[@claytonbuckners3304]

Do you recommend sticking sword and board from 20-30 or swap to a 2h? Hardcore wise, having trouble finding a good fast 1h for cheap, but plenty of cheap 2h on ah

[@pallytime2156]

@@claytonbuckners3304 Just use a 2 hander... and play a bit safer. Have a shield as back-up. I leveled 26-33 with a 2 hander. AH prices dictate what is best in life.

[@MaitreMechant]

@@claytonbuckners3304 I was using shield because it felt safer tbh haha Also, at level 25, I was able to buy a Vibroblade from the AH for very cheap, excellent weapon, very fast, so yeah it's mainly about luck and what you can find/buy

[@cokeaim]

btw I have been leveling as stam/spirit pally and it fits nicely with doing the ZF graveyard solo from levels 40-54. Having all plate stam/spirit allows you to do this farm from level 40 without having to have 2 different sets of gear (spirit set for kill phase and tanking set to get to graveyards) you can do both with just the one set. Just thought I would let you know as this is another massive benefit for using the stam/spirit gear for leveling both 1-41 and beyond.

[@loratus4264]

Hey Pallytime! Really love your videos, they helped me a lot during my journey to level 60 in hardcore. Do you plan to make a video on what areas to farm at level 60 to make some gold?

[@pallytime2156]

Other people do those guides better. I honestly haven't though about it much because my HC journey ENDS at level 60 for me. Normally I farm sand worm meat in silithus but the mobs out there pat around do much that DC might be an issue. Farming yourself out as a dungeon tank is really really good... if you know what you are doing. I could make some vids doing that at 60.

[@loratus4264]

@@pallytime2156 Alright, appreciate the honesty. Didn't tank any dungeons at 60, but I got almost all my pre bis healing gear now and quite some decent aoe tanking gear, so need to look into on how to make gold now :)

[@derrickbonsell]

I moved over to Warrior after a week but I plan to do a hybrid between dungeons and questing. The gear you can get from dungeons and dungeon quests can really come in handy. I also think as a Warrior that it makes grinding between quests easier. Paladins have better survivability out in the world it feels like. I'd like to find a Paladin that I could level with but that would require me to find someone with a similar schedule

[@Kaamos123]

Man you're videos could be segmented with bookmarks so we can skip to some areas of interest

[@trevormoran6929]

I would love to see break down of druid like this 😭

[@pallytime2156]

Search KZbin for "Tipsout Deep Dive Druid"

[@howardholy]

these vids are awesome, are you ever going to make these types of videos for other classes outside of pally/shaman? you put a lot of effort into the math and shit, more than what i care to do.

[@Korpses7]

Thank you for your work

[@constanza86]

You know, at least for HC, you can do specific dungeon only once per day? It is something Blizzard implemented to stop dungeon spamming. Of course you can do SM/RFD/Uldaman in the same day, but you can't do 10 SM in a row.

[@chrisspielt9291]

This man is very correct. Also in HC some dungeons are real killers. Gomeregan's elevators :D

[@Alejandro_87]

Correct, only once per day per instance. Once you are level 60 you can reset at will

[@nayuta_23]

Level several characters by dungeon spamming in 2019. In 2024, I would only do dungeon spamming if I find solo leveling with a given class be a terrible experience, otherwise questing-grinding is a better leveling experience imo. (the simple mention of "dungeon spamming" makes me want to throw up ngl)

[@Rossywow]

I have noticed SoR rank 4 is doing more damage than SoR rank 3 with knightly long sword, am i doing something wrong?

[@pallytime2156]

No. The Rank 3 thing is dead. Blizzard gave ALL the ranks of SoR same SP Ratio as Rank 3. So just use your highest rank.

Hey! Would you say obtaining an enough amount of spirit is feasible when running self-found? Or is spirit only worth it once you get it up to a certain point?

[@pallytime2156]

SSF = Ware leather, cloth, Mail... whatever is Stam Spirt. YOUR SHIELD is the most important thing to keep up to date. Mail + Shield the Shield is like +80% armor. Mail Shield = 40% DR Leather Shield = 30% DR Plate = 40% DR Plate Shield = 50% DR By waring a shield you make gearing your paladin SSF SUPER EASY from any dungeons you do. Worship the Shield

[@yangubeibi.mp3]

@@pallytime2156 Alright cheers, thx for the reply! Will try it out

[@DemonsterDruid]

Any fist of stone and hanzo sword enjoyers? Flurry axe and skullflame is like 1000g investments so its gonna take a while

[@pallytime2156]

Ahaha totally. They are like 50g on HC to Flurry's 250ish

[@nayuta_23]

Hanzo Sword is a great budget alternative. Been using it on fresh since, yes Flurry Axe and Skullflame are way too expensive (also I would not recommend Skullflamme unless you are specifically doing solo AoE farming, just get Argent Defender for Stratholme quest otherwise)

[@pallytime2156]

@@nayuta_23 Uhh... I think the reflect damage shield on block is better from 2nd to last boss in Strat UD is better then argent defender. Oh wait... this isn't for Hardcore... NEVER MIND you are correct. Argent D is goated. Skullflame is BLEH until you get T2 and some spell power behind her.

[@kiljaedyn]

Dungeon leveling was hard nerfed this time around. Not sure why people dont know this.

[@pallytime2156]

Really... XP nerf? I hear there is a BOOSTING Nerf... if there is a much higher level around but I don't think there is a dungeon XP nerf.

[@kiljaedyn]

@@pallytime2156 yes, the boosting nerf, doesnt work exactly how it says. even a 3 level difference kills your exp gains. like a group in SFK, a level 26 will get 130exp and if everyone else is lvl 23 they get 30exp per kill. if everyone stays the same level then you're good everyone gets the 130exp, but good luck with finding equal level groups.

Way too much focus on telling people how bad a viable part of the game is. I find questing horrifically boring.

@@someguyfromtheinternet5158 more boring than spamming the same dungeons for hours ?

@@MaitreMechant Yep, the group cohesion and teamwork is one of the only reasons i enjoy this game, very little of the quests are interesting after the first time around, i have played on and off for 18 years, i know it all and i've done it all. go x to deliver this note then go to y to kill x amount of mobs for z amount of drops is not fun. there are plenty of good story driven games, wow isnt one of them

[@someguyfromtheinternet5158]

@@MaitreMechant Not saying everyone has to feel that way, that is stupid. i was only saying that pallytime spent too much time saying that it is in no way an enjoyable way to play the game, then goes to say that fun is the #1 stat. what's fun to someone isn't fun to everyone else. just came across a bit hypocritical .

​@@someguyfromtheinternet5158 ah ok, yes makes sense, I understand your pov now :) it is indeed something very personal.

Doing the same quests for the 10th time while dealing with 10000 people sounds way more mind numbingly boring than quickly leveling by spamming
