[blizzard]When the next patch releases, you will no longer be able to gain weapon or defense skill while fighting the Servant of Allistarj, Servant of Grol, Servant of Razelikh, and Servant of Sevine.

They will remain in the game, however.[/blizzard]

Are there other mobs people use for leveling weapon skill?

Shadowwolf

The totem guys in SMV, I leave the totems alone and just beat on them.

Most people think Marv is crazy. He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century. He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield swinging an axe into somebody's face.

That guy would work. Some guy mentioned in a comment he won't die once at 1% hp unless you're on the quest to kill him.

capnpop

he hits harder though...

at 70, not so bad (on my pally) and at 80 it would likely be trivial...

People have tried to skill up on them already.  They get like 1 skill up every 15 min at best.  Not sure if blizz plan's to change that.  The dummies are meant more for the theorycrafter's out there and to work out rotation's for dps classes.

Stockades is right in SW. How I maxed my defense. Pull like ALL the mobs, real quick work!
