AOE spots or low hp elites for 70 - 80 grinding?

So I'm currently leveling up from 70 to 80 5x Mages.

Since I skip collection quests, I'm a little on the 'under' side of quests and am progressing through the Wrath content a little too quickly.

So I was wondering if anyone knew any locations that are good for AOE grinding for 70 - 80.

Something with a lot of mobs packed tightly together.

I get between 20k to 25k per quest, but I get about 550 XP per kill.
If I could find some spot where I could kill a large number of NPC's with AOE, it would be nice to do that for just a bit to save some quests.

Also, elites give 2x experience, getting over 1k per kill right now.
5 Mages can cut one down pretty quick, as long as they don't have a lot of HP.

Anyone know good places for low HP elites in the 70 - 80 content?

I am not sure what lvl or spec your mages are but as a lvl 70 frost mage i was able to solo the first few rooms in reg UK for about 8k rested and 4k reg exp. I am not sure how this does for you with 5 mages but i would bet its cake. Just clear to the dragon room and then reset. U might be able to burn them but they are immune to frost bolt slows, not sure about the arcane one.

Either Way it was good for me.

If one frost mage is good, 5 is better :P

Now that living bomb is castable on multi targets i would suspect 1 frost for control and 4 living bombs would rock...

Currently they are all level 72 and Arcane Specced.
I'll look into the possibility that UK may be a good place to visit. Thanks :)

How about going to AV at 71 to lvl, get xp and honor points at the same time. I heard it aint bad.

I actually tried out AV last night as a way to gain XP.

I found that a level 72 it was far too easy for my group of 5 Mages to get decimated.

Example, a Rogue appeared out of nowhere and within 4 or 5 seconds all 5 Mages were dead thanks to the Rogues Fan of Knives AOE ability.

I also found that unless your team captures objectives and wins AV, you don't get very much experience at all.

Spending an hour playing 2 or 3 Alterac Valley's, not winning any, and walking away with maybe 50,000 XP really sucks.
Especially compared to the 3 or 4 quests at 23k each I could turn in during that time, in addition to the NPC kills I would have been making 500XP each from.


It was a lot of fun in AV, launching 5 arcane barrages followed up by 5 fire blasts taking down people left and right.
Blinking into a big group and AOE'ing the heck out of them causing a panic.

But for now AV just doesn't seem to be worth it.
Although I probably still will play 1 a night, just for fun and some honor points :)

I think you would be a bit squishy for any instances at 72. I would recommend some outside grinding areas. There is a battle by Grizzly Pine Lodge on a small island that will provide unlimited mobs to slaughter.

if you search you will see I wrote a post about all the AOE sites 70-80. The only place that has changed from that list is the 77-80 in Icecrown because they nerfed it. All the other spots still work just as good as when wotlk came out.

Rhinos in BT would have to be a super easy spot...but you might be too high lvl for it.

Aye, I did try to search, but the search feature requires more than 3 characters in order to return any results.
So whenever I would search for 'aoe' it would always return zero results.
I tried 'area of effect' and some other things, but couldn't come up with a result.

I just looked through all the posts you made, didn't see any with a title of 'AOE'. Hrm,... I'll keep looking for the post.

Google wow places to aoe grind 70-80?
