Like what must be thousands of other WoW players, I'm leveling a few alts at the moment. If you read my earlier Breakfast Topic about questing, you'll know that I am not a fan of questing and instead stick with the dungeon options. This means that on my feral druid, I'm doing a whole lot of dungeons. My druid's a tank, you see, and the queues are very instant! I also, of course, do all levels ending with a four or a nine in Battlegrounds. You should, too!

So I was thinking the other day, what are the best and worst of the leveling dungeons? I personally love the Scarlet Monastery series, not least because of Interrogator Vishas' hilarious dialog. I'm really excited about their being redone for Mists, but if Blizzard removes Vishas, I'll be crying into my cornflakes! I also like the stairs in Zul'Farrak, as per the header image. There's something epic about beating back the enemy on an enormous flight of stairs! I really, really like Scholomance, and Shadowfang Keep, too.

Telling you which leveling dungeons I don't like is briefer and easier. Blackrock Depths. Oh, man, I hate that dungeon. I'm really not looking forward to getting to that level on my druid, as, despite having leveled, hmm, six characters through there, I still don't have a clue where I'm going. I've been in so many groups where people have just got bored and left halfway through, and I really honestly don't blame them. It's an insanely long dungeon for its level.

I'm also not a huge fan of Dire Maul. I find it a bit tiresome having to retrace my steps so much. People often seem to get lost or confused, and the runs through there take forever. But it's nowhere near as bad as Blackrock Depths.

How about you? What are your most loved and most hated sub-85 dungeons? And, of course, why?
