oh it's not hard to imagine a paly getting to level 62 without having ever used BOS at all. Especially if they do not ever group. Or if they do group, they might have grouped with people who couldn't damage themselves out of a paper bag. Getting to level 62 is merely a matter of time, not a matter of skill.

Blessing of Salvation is a spell, after all, so it's quite possible someone might never pick it up, especially if they're cheap. It's admittedly crazy, but it's possible. Heck, I once grouped -- many, many moons ago -- with a warlock who'd never taught his succubus how to seduce.

I have a level 40 warlock who only summons his succubus to teach her new skills upon leveling, then promptly dismisses her. I've never seen the use for that particular - ahem - pet.

For the longest time I didn't, either, but it actually is handy at keeping humanoid mobs from taking part in a fight. Particularly if you hunt up the widely circulated macro for one-button renewal of the seduction.

Depending on your spec, the succubus is an excellent DPS boost for a warlock between levels 26 (when she can learn Seduce) and 50 (when you can get the talent to summon a felguard).

Yes, but she's not such a good tank, and I tend to solo a fair amount.

Not long before I closed my account, I ran Mana Tombs with a level 68 hunter who had never been in an instance before. I think they did the players a disservice when they made it easier to level...

Blizzard designed WoW for the lowest common denominator: the casual solo player with limited time to play. That decision explains a lot.

From direct personal experience, my (soon-to-be-ex-)wife played a paladin to level 40 and only trained about a quarter or a third of the available spells - the ones she liked to use or thought might be useful. She ignored everything else and refused to considering playing with more than that bare minimum in her spellbook. To each their own, I suppose...
