Powerlevelling + 2 boxing?

Thx for sharing that Hapi. I definately want more control over the priest though. Wanding, shielding, etc. So I'll probably end up figuring out something manually. While the chances are low that Blizz will ban me for that macro, I still don't wanna take a chance with it. I'll probably have enough attention on me as it is.

You can just do it - old school $20 way. Look at one of Xzin's posts where he posted a cheap USB number pad only keypad. U'll end up only using + and - key and u can put it left of your keyboard and can easily press those 2 keys with a pinky :p

As far as shielding / wanding - I guess you wont need to wand / extra dot/nuke till he's 58 or else you steal poor warlocks exp :p -- heh granted you're a wuss like me and plays in a PVE server :(

Only thing I couldn't do is shield the lock or pet, but that's a small price to pay I suppose. The warlock would get full xp, unless Blizzard changed something. I was thinking of doing the same thing for a new warrior later on if this works.

Guess I would be attracting attention with a 70 following me around in Durotar, but eh well. Whatcha think?

Warlock is a class with little downtime as is. Later in levels you may find it nice to lifetap to your hearts content while it's on auto follow for healing/renews.

Just recently at 55 my arms warrior was having a lot of down time so I drug my 63 resto shaman behind him in tow. Now that setup right there really sped things up nicely. Now that they are both around the same level, having the shaman in group is actually better with Wind Fury totem. That really speeds things up.

If only your Priest was at the same level you could utilize the shields for hellfire without taking a large EXP hit from grouping. You could level a Resto Druid/Shaman with your warlock, as a bonus to having another 70 when you hit level cap to play with. Just food for thought.

I always wondered what would be a better partner for a warrior, a paladin or shaman. I levelled 3 paladins to 60 a long time ago, and they were seriously boring to solo after 50. The paladin aoe thing wasn't around back then. They are fun to play in the right group though for pvp.

WF + warrior sounds pretty fun. I will definitely give it a try when I get bored of the warlock. Thanks:)

I had started 2 boxing with my 70 druid and a new mage. I just didn't group them and had the druid follow the mage keeping HoTs rolling while the mage AoE'd everything.

It's pretty effective.

There will be some mobs that you will do amazing on and some you will suffer (time wise) on with the priest / warlock.

There are some nice areas depending on your server where you can really dig in and gain xp quick. The epl/slime cave and the non-instance DM/ogres.

Setting your hearth to outlands at a early level via a warlock is a good deal, that will make travel to all the cities quick.

Getting a monster shard bag and the ST trinket asap is good too.
