Rogue · Combat
Gnome Rogue: Combat solo leveling
Solo leveling for a Gnome Rogue 1–60 with Combat (0/31/0 at 40, 18/33/0 at 60) and the Gnome's Eureka! as a burst button. Theorycraft – the talent order is validated against client data 1.60.1.70755 but not tested in game; everything above level 30 is theory because the beta stopped there.
Warrior · Protection
Night Elf & Gnome Warrior: Shield and Revenge
Solo leveling for a Night Elf or Gnome Warrior 1–60 as Protection with a one-handed weapon and shield: 0/0/31 and Shield Slam at 40, then Fury for Rage and crit, ending at 0/20/31 at 60; race differences for every race in race boxes. Theorycraft – the beta only went to 30, so everything above 30 is untested.
The guides adapt their race boxes to the chosen race – these fit too:
