Hyjal vs. Vashj'ir, question to the pro levelers

[gash46]

Hi, i am a long time leecher, righting a guide at the moment and i need some input.
I got access to cataclysm beta recently and tried all the 80-85 zones but vashj'ir:
to my understanding hyjal is better, solo questing wise, than Vashj'ir for melee dps (feral);
can any pro leveler out here comfirm or deny this information please ?

I already keep in mind that vashj'ir seems bigger than hyjal and may be way less crowded at release.
Anyway I only need complete and backed up information about this so i can rush my guide.

thx

This post makes me remember failing to get in the Beta, Q.Q

[gash46]

lol i am not sure what you imply but dont worry i am not a failer at all

[Grif]

Hehe, im implying that your post, asking about Cataclysm Beta zone, reminded me of Failing to get into Beta, yet again.

Don't worry Grif, your're not the only one.

As for the questing zones, I will probably try out both of them. Vashj'ir is the underwater zone is it not? Then I will definitely have to try that out. Hyjal will not really be anything new to me, just I guess it will have heaps of fire and Ragnaros and stuff there and actual quests, but I've been to that area numerous times. Are these the same level zone? Like Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord? (I quested in both those areas when wotlk came out).

hey ive got a beta account and i did the first 30 or so quests in each zone.
while vash is large after about 10 quests i belive you get a 360%(i think its been a while) underwater mount.
i personally think if your ranged then vash is the way to go because you gotta fight people in 4d basically so having range makes you able to hit even more things then ever before.
now if your mele i would say hyjal is beter number one from what i could see the mobs there are more compact making it easier for mele to mass mob grind if wanting to. but making it harder for ranged to single pull. secondly it seemed to me that the mobs out there hit harder then the ones in vash but hey whos to know.
and also @alj03 hyjal is very diferent and is also very largedont be supprised if its not just a huge walk in the park for you

P.S. if your on the pvp server in the beta dont die ...... the mounts are bugged and move even slower then reg run speed on foot

I would go hyjal first cause i think it has the least amount of quests. Unless you want to be owned by whale sharks^^
