Do you boost with a DK lol I just one hit everything.... seems faster to gather and AOE everything down but I cant put two diseases on something because crap just insta dies.

.. that's a good thing isn't it?
not sure i get the question
Isn't it faster to AOE crap down rather than one shot killing... I know i have to sound like a total idiot right now.... hehe
If you can kill things faster than you can gather them, then that is better as long as you stay in range of still getting xp on the alts, since you'll not be taking the extra damage of having 100 mobs hitting you. But if you have to stop moving to kill them then it is not faster.
I think the OP means this:
Gather 40 mobs on you, and as soon as you put a disease on a mob it dies, so no way to spread it. With a DK you are limited to your runes & weapon swing speed on how fast you can kill. Thus it's way slower than what consecrate would do for example. Scarlet monastery: I don't run towards each mob, but I usually just pull the boss or run within aggro range, to pull large packs. However .. how about death & decay, you can even glyph it just for your boosts.
Another idea might be to go for a boss, put the diseases on him. He might stay long enough alive to actually spread it
Boosting with a DK is simple, just follow these 5 steps ;)
Step 1 - Build a time machine
Step 2 - Go back to November 13, 2008
Step 3 - Level a DK to 80 and get crafted epics and some quest blues
Step 4 - Boost all the characters you want with ease and fun
Step 5 - Delete DK before returning to present day to avoid severe depression whenever you play them in current patch

Glyph for Death and Decay and talent it to reduce the cooldown on it, use that, Blood Boil, and Corpse Explosion for AoE grinding. As long as your dodge/parry is high enough, you shouldn't sustain much damage if you round up enough mobs. If you're at a boss, then set your main diseases on them, then spread them. If you're dishing out too much damage to set all diseases, then cast your most powerful one then spread. Pulling an entire instance at once for xp grinding is cool, fun, and fast, but if you're trying to loot as you grind, then you won't be able to get to all of the corpses before they start to disappear. I started running into that trouble in SM cause I wanted all the cloth/silver. So you gotta move fast for looting.

I strongly disagree with that. While leveling my warlocks i didn't loot and at times i run into mobs i haven't looted several minutes after i killed them. Besides that, on my early runs i did clear the instance and loot afterwards without problems. So i don't really understand how you can run into that problem. Unless it has been changed recently.Quote:
