The other day, my DK turned 80, and I was offered several very nice present from guildies. One of those pressies was a mace, and my DK had never learned to use a mace. So I learned it, and with my mace skills at 1, I went into HC with my very kind guildies, and did DPS that only my lvl 30 warlock would envy.
What I should have done, of course, was to level up my weapon skills, first.
And when finding spots to do so, it is much easier, if the mobs don’t hit back.
One of the spots, I’ve found, is in Howling Fjord.
In the burning woods there, you’ll find Proto-Drake Eggs, and since those are exactly that, eggs, they don’t hit back. So keep hitting at them as much as you can. Make your pet/minion stay away from them, if you are a hunter, DK or warlock.
Once you’ve crushed the egg, a Proto-Drake whelp will fly up, and it will fight back, so don’t leave your computer, while attacking the eggs.
