Fire Nova Totem (or How to level your Noobs to 30 in mere minutes)

Hey all, I dont know if this is a repost, but I've been using this method, and a lot of you have mutliple accounts and shaman on these boards so I figured I would share.

This doesn't work all the way through the game, but helps me reach 1-30 in a matter of hours.

Ok, so I will start my two newbies and have my 70 shaman fly to their starting zone. Group the newbies (RaF) but not the shaman.

Now have the newbies tag as many mobs as you can, using your shaman to drop stoneclaw so you can tag as many as safely possible.
When you have as many mobs as you'd like tagged on your newbies, drop a fire nova totem. The fire nova totem will not steal any xp from your newbies, granting you a full 100% xp for the kills on as many mobs as you can grab.
Rinse/Repeat and get to STV in no time!

Works even better when you have a 5 box shaman team following around your 2 lowbies...dropping 5 stoneclaw and 5 fire nova :) That pretty much takes care of non-elites up to lvl 60. Also if one of the lowbies is a paladin or mage gogo aoe dmg to tag !

A totem is considered a "pet" -- so long as your 70 doesn't do any damage the "pet" does not detract from the XP rate.

It's a known thing for a while -- see http://dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.ph...ting_with_Pets
People have done this with hunter pets and warlock pets. Shaman weren't really considered because of the aggro and 5hp of the totems.

That is why you have to combine it with the stoneclaw totems (and why more than one shaman is better as the levels go up). As long as the stoneclaw totem lasts 5 seconds (or long enough for the nova totem to go off) it works.

It seems tedious to me, but with the 3x experience bonus from RAF it wouldn't be nearly as bad.
