leveling is NOT hard btw, we are casually on our way to 30.
Yeah, not too hard but it's still very challenging (and grindy). I still have tons of party quests that I'm too stubborn to actually do because I'm a soloist at heart. (I SERIOUSLY think that mobs and bosses in solo dungeons (through the Soul Guardian) should be reduced to regular mobs and bosses. You SERIOUSLY cannot take on two bosses at once, especially at the solo dungeons' bosses current strength. The mobs are annoying as well.)
Sitting at Character Level 33ish and slowly making my way up to Character Level 45. Once I meet that level and the Class Level of 40 on my Cleric, I'll be making the move to Shaman. I've been thinking of the build I'm gonna be using, and I think I'm gonna have a heavy concentration on DPS rather than healing/support. More specifically I'm going to make the trade-off of leveling my Wrath Totem instead of my Grace Totem, and having a more heavier concentration on DPS-dealing skills rather than support and healing skills.
Once my Shaman is capped at Level 50 I'll do the same on my Magician so that I can go ahead and have the prerequisite Class Level requirements for the Warlock class.
It's never "hard" but wait until you hit 36 and then again at 44 for significant reductions in leveling speed.
Le sigh, I've already hit this point even at Character Level 34. Over a million Character EXP needed for each level at this point onwards, and grinding that much EXP is not very amusing in any case. Thankfully it seems I still have more mainstream quests to unlock ahead of me, so at the very least I know I'll at least have some quests where I can still receive large amounts of Character EXP. Until I unlock these quests though, it'll generally be getting every repeatable quest possible (at my level obviously) and doing them all at once for a Character EXP payday, likely once a day.
I've personally hit Character Level 36 myself. Time for the HUGE grinding EXP periods. I decided to roll with DPS classes for now while I work to get myself to Character Level 45 since I figured it would be easier if I did it that way. That, and I took an interest in the Illusionist class, so I'm getting my Magician to Level 30 so I can try it out.
Once I hit Character Level 45 I'll level my Cleric up to Level 40 so I can run with the Shaman class as well.
Any of you want to help out with Vileshark HQ? Aquamarine Ch8. Let's say 12PM EST. (6 Hours from now). Just need three of you guys to help. We'll meet in front of the warp
Found a leveling trick, I'll be 50 by the end of the night. I'm currently at 48.
What is this leveling trick you speak of? I've heard that grinding dungeons is good EXP, but I'm not necessarily a party person...
@Evnoir: I feel your pain. I know that, even after rolling with the Magician and eventually the Illusionist class, I know very well that I'm gonna have to go back and push my Cleric to Level 40 once I reach Character Level 45. Thankfully Class Levels are much easier to obtain than Character Levels (and can always be obtained while doing quests, i.e. killing quests and whatnot), so my trip from Character Level 45 to Character Level 50 could be contributed by me grinding quests and finishing leveling my Cleric to Level 40 for the Shaman class.
Though, staying an Illusionist (once I get there) is very tempting, mainly because at Level 20 they gain the ability to recover their own MP, along with being able to use said skill to recover the MP of others. Very, very useful indeed.
Basically I had someone power level my bard to 30 and then I got a bunch of fame item orange gear that had +5% on it so that I had 20% run speed without being on a mount. After that I cast the bard buff on myself and have 30% run speed. I do the level 45 dungeon solo and aggro the whole instances trash and aoe kite them to oblivion. Gain about 10% exp per run which is about 10-15 minutes.

Not bad, not bad at all. Too bad I'm not a bard. I might give it a shot if I'm really desperate for Character EXP, but personally I've been content with simply doing the repeatable quests and whatever mainstream/story quests I can do.
