The Blood Elves start their run to 70!

Well, I finally finished up the quests in Shadowmoon Valley with Annariel & started my next leveling project this past weekend. I switched over to the Horde side to work on my Blood Elves. They are Caeden & Iltria. Caeden is a protection specced Paladin & Iltria is a fire specced Mage. They seem to be working very well together. When fighting melee type mobs, Caeden is able to AOE tank 3 to 4 with no problem. Iltria is able to lay down several powerful AOE spells, which finish off the mobs quickly. As long as I wait a few seconds before starting Iltria's casting sequence, Caeden is able to maintain aggro with no problem. When casters get involved, I have a tougher time taking on more than one at a time. I can always sheep an add, but I find it more difficult to AOE tank multiple caster mobs.

Right now, Iltria's casting sequence against groups of mobs is Firestrike, Blastwave & Arcane Explosion, if necessary. Once she turns level 50, I will be able to mix in Dragon Breath into the equation. Against single targets, Iltria just spams scorch and finishes the mob off with Fire Blast. I gained 3 levels over the weekend and the Paladin/Mage duo seems to be working quite well =) They are level 46 now & working in Feralas. Hopefully patch 2.3 comes out soon, so I can take advantage of the faster leveling.
