Ironman

Two days ago, a friend told me that he had created a test account for WoW,
to stay in touch with his guild (we are playing swtor and our wow account
are frozen for now).

It looked like a good idea to test this ironman thing, so I checked the
rules on the official forum and created a gnome priest.

He made it to level 6, until I wandered to the hill where the ice troll are
living. It's one of the first quests you get in Karanos. There was some
corpses here, but I started to kill them. I had to kill 5 casters and 7
fighters, and the fighter's count was quicker, so I made some bad move to
get more casters. I aggroed one caster and one, then two, then three
fighters. And so died my first Ironman character, Nahel.

The next one will be a human mage, Ironick.

Hehe ouch, it's easy to do! :-) I'm lucky in that I'm usually fairly
cautious anyway so tend to live longer but I see a lot of people die
really early from underestimating aggro ranges!

Good luck! My gnome rogue died at 48 (quest mob had a really nasty
ability that I didn't have time to react to by the time I realised it
hit so hard), got a human warlock now, levelling miles faster than the
rogue did, less downtime and less care needed with a big blue tank lol
- I'll have to take care not to get too complacent though!

a warlock is like a cannon. long range damage but no armour that is
why in a rl they are kept away from the front lines.

that is why a lock with a void is easy to level. but too much aggro and
the lock dies because some mobs ignore the minion and hit the lock.

worse if the minion dies then ALL of his aggro is attached to the lock

warlocks are powerful even when nerfed. but they are the squishest PVP

I can sense the eyes of ferals and rogues lighting up when my
Warlock appears.

The mage is already dead. Kobolds took his candle. Poor Ironick.

No awful aggro this time, only my poor judgement. There was two kobolds, I
was sure to kill them, but one of them was level 7, and a spell resist was
the ultimate death of my level 5 mage.

The next one is Zuliron, the chaman troll, man.
