The Scars of Velious

[bakkily]

though iksars do get a -10% exp penalty, not a bad idea to either roll a necro or shaman, but since shamans got a big hit from a past patch, alot of the lvl teens spells were dumbed down, but yea lvling up a shaman shouldnt take too long, as long as you hang out in the areas people lvl, but by lvl 24 it gets better

if playing 4 hours a day with 28-30 hours a week, id say you can hit lvls 1-10 in about 10-15 hours, then 10-20 probally about another 12 or so hours, within that first week you could hit 25 easily on a shaman, 20-30 is maybe going to be the quickest lvls, so within 1 1/2 -2 weeks you can hit 30 fast

on the necro though if you do log 30 hours the first week, you could easily get up to lvl 27 if done right, depends what you want to play more of, to group, or to solo

Even if you play pretty casually you should have more than enough time and then some to level up, gear the char well, change your mind and make an alt, twink them...etc etc before Velious ever hits.

Should be no worries.
