revisiting this topic https://community.dawnofwar.com/discussion/10551/progression-dow-3-missing-the-mark
I just bought the game and I can't believe how long this is going to take to unlock all the elite doctrines. Winning games and getting 200 XP for my wraithlord and nothing for my wraithknight seems to be the norm. How am I ever going to unlock this ++heresy redacted++ in a reasonable time? Anyone think they will ever revamp the unlock system or just do the right thing and unlock all the doctrines so this game is competitive from the get go. I can't even use the elites I want because I have to unlock doctrines with other elites first. So frustrating.

Honestly I don't have everything unlocked and it has never really been an issue for me, even at high level play.
You don't need specific doctrines, and even if you do want to use specific Elite Command abilities you only need to get them to lvl 3. Getting them to lvl 8 to use it as a doctrine is perhaps a bit too high (maybe lvl 5 or 6 would have been better) but it's not that necessary. Usually their Presence ability is way more powerful anyway.
The biggest thing I think is you only get XP for kills with that Elite which means in games where you don't use that Elite at all, or don't really get many kills with them, they can take a long time to level up. Most people just use a meatgrinder custom map to level their elites up to max and call it a day.
