Congratulations to Hoganillo for reaching max level and making them the 41st The War Within Iron Man Challenge champion. Hoganillo’s journey was 368 days, 19 hrs, 26 mins, 32 sec with a /played of  22 hrs, 13 mins and 46 secs. 
Hoganillo said this is their first max level challenger.
Why did you choose this challenge to play? Hoganillo said, “The Iron Man challenge is the most well known of them all. I’ve been thinking about it for years, but never committed to completing it.”
What race/class/spec did you choose to go with and were there any specific reasons for that choice? “I chose a Human Paladin to play as a Tank. The choice is obvious, the best sustain in the game, good damage and a few ways of avoiding close calls. I’d recommend everyone to give it a shot, as it is a safe pick and, for me, tossing a Shield around feels just right!” mentioned Hoganillo.
What path did you take to level and were there specific reasons for those choices? “I levelled on the Human starting zones – Elwynn, Redridge, Westfall… up to about Level 30, then I switched to Outland for a while, but didn’t complete any of the zones and it felt painfully slow, so I switched to Dragonflight up until I could move on to Khaz Algar.”
Did you have any close calls while leveling this character? Hoganillo said, “With Paladin as my chosen class, I can push further than other challengers. I had many, especially in Levels 71-74, which are the roughest for me. The start of the War Within Campaign is deadly as the rares deal tons of damage, even for a Tank.”
Do you have any advice you would give to someone else thinking of trying out Iron Man challenge? “Not just advice, I’m gonna give any other Challengers the motivation they need: Just give it a shot! You never know how far you might get. You might even reach us Champions up here. It’s your opportunity to be remembered, go for it!”
Are you working on any other challengers or do you plan on taking a break for a while? Hoganillo mentioned, “I’m gonna take a good break while I choose my next Challenge, I’ll probably go for something more completionist-oriented in the near future.”
Congratulations once again to Hoganillo on becoming our 41st The War Within Iron Man champion, and best of luck with your future challenge adventures.
