Leveling at low-mid levels without boosting?

[Sivier]

Hello ppl. I start dualboxing some months ago. Was so nice that I add another account to triboxing. What can I say? I get addict so now I have 5 accouts :thumbsup: I have 2 teams, one is Priest x1 Hunter x4 and the other is Shaman x5. I stop my Priest/Hunter team at 28 to start my Shammies. At the time I hit 12 with the Shaman team I was happy with all the dps but get a little crazy fighting multiple mobs. On my main account I have a Pally lvl 30, so I boost my other 4 Shamans with my 70 Hunter to join the Paladin. On the main account I have another 28 Shaman that I will swap for the Priest at the Hunters team. My plan is to lvl the 2 teams to 70 so that way I can change between Shaman x5 and Paladin/Shaman x4.

I have read/search a lot in this site and I find a lot of info mostly for lvl 60+, raids and heroics but not much from 1-60. I guess that as a 5 box my best way is instance grind at least until 45-50 but every post I find talk about using a 70 boosting. I want to know if some ppl really lvl from 1-70 as 5 without boost. I really want to enjoy the lvling travel and no wait until 70 to really use my team. Thats in fact why I will swap the Priest with the Shaman (to lvl them as a team and no just boosting this last Shaman with the others)

If the answer to that was yes, when I can hit each instance. By this I dont mean the order, what I mean is if I need to be -3, same or +3 lvls than the elites of the instance bc i went to SM graveyard with my pally/shamans 30 and they mop the floor with me. I keep agroo nice with the Paladin but I ran quick out of mana.

Apart from my story I need to say that Multibox have bring me a LOT of fun to WoW again and thanks to all of you for having a place like this to help the Multibox community. LONG LIFE TO MULTIBOX!!! /salute ^^

Even level or 2 under at best with a dedicated tank and 4 shaman. I started SMGY at 2 under and finished the cathedral at 2 over. Quick run to Hinterlands to do all the quests I could and then to ZF I believe at 45.

It may help to make one of the shaman resto (for leveling/grinding) so it can heal the pally, or perhaps just a designated healer. I think I read somewhere that in this forums about having all 4 dps, but when thing get rough have two of the shamans throw a heal at the tank and then return to DPS.

My advice is to go at even level or 3-5 above. Not sure why people go so early, because the experience is still great even when you are a few levels above the mobs, plus you clear it pretty fast. A 20 minute clear of mobs 3 levels below you is better experience than a 40 minute clear of mobs 3 levels above you.

Also, I don't want to say paladin are bad tanks for pre-outland, because they are not, but they are the third best tank only due to gear issues. There just isn't any paladin tanking gear pre-outland, so they can't perform their job well especially compared to warriors and druids. Keep in mind that when you hit level 57, the outland gear is available on the auction house and paladins soon start to outshine warriors and druids as tanks for 5mans. What I'm trying to say is, don't give up on your pally just yet, they only get better and better. You can switch to a warrior now to make things a bit easier, or you can keep using the paladin and suffer pre-outland, but when you get there and gear up it's EZmode with the pally.
