Hi all, I have posted a few times here and there and read alot of stickies. My question is i have lvled a mage to 40 with lvl capped echanting and tailoring, and my wife lvled a Priest to 40 with lvl cap enchanting and tailoring ( she is getting her own account so now she will have to start over on a char).
Anyways, i want to finish a char with enchaning and tailoring, should I continue with the mage or the priest and go shadow or disc ( the smite build on the priest forum i would assume), which would be the most efficient, safest, and fastest to lvl? I like caster classes so either one wouldnt realy matter actualy, just wanted some other veteran opinions.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
pick the one you enjoy playing best, thats my honest opinion. if you do go priest, please please go shadow for leveling lol. its most efficient, safe and THE fastest. smite build will consume alot of mana and you will be finding yourself drinking alot. it is not the recommended build for leveling as a priest. if you have people running you through instances alot, a healing build would be good but if you are planning to play with your wife and do quests, etc, shadow is the best.
personally I would go priest. to me they are more fun to play and you are wanted alot for heals later in-game.
EDIT: imo, it doesnt really matter between priest or mage on a pvp server. with both classes, you have ways to get out of trouble. but a priest, you can heal so you can put up a fight (at least last longer than a mage).

I have to disagree with going shadow.
I am currently leveling using the Energizer spec in the Priest sticky, which focuses on Holy early on, and I'm having no mana trouble. Just need to stack a lot of spirit.
As I am almost lvl 40, I'm sure this information is useful.
From what I've heard, however, around lvl 50 you want to respec to shadow.
see you are having to stack a lot of spirit which probabaly costs a lot if you are doing enchantments. most people who start out don't have a lot of currency to be thinking about stacking spirit. with shadow you don't have to. you can go either way, it's up to you OP but shadow is still the preferred leveling build. there's always going to be people that go the "hard mode" and people that go "racing mode".
play what you feel most comfortable with.
