Fastest way to level (requires a lvl 70 class with Dots)
These forums have provided much amusement during work and great resources for my multiboxing so I wanted to share something in return.
I did not find this technique posted anywhere else on these forums. I am also sure that I did not come up with this technique, just adapted it for my use and wanted to share in case someone wants to get an alt caught up real quick to their group.
That being said, I use my Level 70 moonkin to do this. I only know the levels for Horde instances, and I believe that Alliance has an even easier time with Stockades.
Group with your lowbie once he is able to go into RFC (level 8 ). Have him wait inside the instance at the entrance. Run in with your 70 and dot the elites. Once you are sure they will die to your dots, run out of the instance before they die. I use Insect Swarm and a low level Moonfire in RFC.
Leave your low level in the instance and when the Elites die you will notice he will get all the XP as though he killed them himself.
Now for some reason you will only get about 1/2 xp for any mobs that are NOT humanoids. However 1/2 xp for an elite is still very good.
RFC is where you can start doing this.. Wailing Caverns (level 10) gets a little better especially because the first boss is so close to the entrance. I pull the mobs with either body pulls or faire fire, take them to the entrance, dot them up and run out.
As soon as I can, I go to SFK (lvl 14) just be careful of the mobs that throw up the shield making them immune to magic. I just go ahead and kill them then dot up the rest.
RFK is where it starts getting good because most of the mobs are real close and most are humaniods.
Then of course Scarlet Monastery is even better. This is where you will start to see 1 to 1.5 bubbles of xp per pull (3 or 4 mobs)
Using this technique I level my alts to 40 in about 22 hrs or so.
Some Tips
You can only pull from so far in the instance before the mobs will start to reset. That is fine, just reset the instance and start from scratch. This keeps you from having to run too far.
If I feel like I'm going to get the 5 instance per hour cap, then I will just run through the whole instance with my alt once I am at the point where I can no longer pull them to the entrance. This usually gives me enough of a buffer where I dont hit the cap.
Get the 30 stam lw Clefthide Leg Armor and put it on a lvl 8 grey cloth item that wont become soulbound to you. That way you can reuse it on a future alt.
By using the Leg Armor it becomes very hard for you to be killed after that by an elite that didnt die to your dots.
I only pull 3 maybe 4 mobs in SM at a time because with global cooldown between dots, they will die before you can run out.
I imagine a warlock or shadow priest would have a much easier time doing this than a druid plus you could shield your alt before you run out, or aoe fear.
The easiest time I ever had was with my shaman. I just dropped a stoneclaw totem usually by the time they had killed the totem they were one tick from dying.
Last but not least, I use this technique because I do not have a high level pally or 70 mage to aoe grind the instances.
I hope this helps someone and I look forward to seeing more videos and laughing at the people getting one-shotted.
