I haven't done this as of yet a friend showed me how to do it though and you do get XP. My thought at this point is to clear everything real fast with my 70 team then summon the alts right to the barons chamber.Quote:

The question is, do the skeletons summon at a rate which is worth the hassle? Baron's going to deal decent damage, but if the skeletons spawn fast enough to make it worthwhile, I could see investing in a shadow resist set. With the paladin's Shadow resistance aura up, it would only take a few pieces of shadow resist to make baron's damage pretty trivial.
6 skelly every 15 or 20 seconds at 82 xp per. 70 prot pally + 4 noobs to be leveled at level 55. Seems to be around 90k an hour. My paladin judges light and reseals it. The shadow aura and shadow bolt isn't really landing much so a shadow resist set is not needed i don't think.Quote:

The group I'm leveling are priests. So if i forget to reseal light, I can just toss a greater heal or 4. If your clones are not able to heal you will need to watch your seals unless your doing this in raid gear. Greens and blues I'm using and I need to keep double light up.
Good luck
I guess you don't get hit enough to have the figurine heal you to full, huh.Quote:

You can either just have the other 4 shammies help the last shammy kill elites while out of combat every 6-8 levels or /shrug transfer the last shammy to one of the other accounts and once you're ready transfer the other shaman on that account back to the account with the paladin.Quote:

Tested baron, and after fine-tuning the process this works very well for me. Things to remember:
- If you clear with a level 70 team, remember to kick them out when you start farming Baron skeletons. I was unhappy with the 36 exp per skeleton till I remembered my 3 level 70 shamans standing around gimping my exp. Then it went up to 87 per kill.
- Shadow resist aura seems to be more useful for me than Devotion.
- Use MAX rank Blessing of Sanctuary. It doesn't matter if you kill skeletons (you usually won't) and Baron gets healed to full every wave of skeletons. Max rank BoS mitigates a ton of damage.
- Buy a fast weapon, regardless of damage or other stats. I recommend loading up on several http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2490 or if you want to splurge, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30749. Your weapon will take damage, which is different from the Zolo exercise in most cases.
Not all of us have it :(Quote:

Eh, I was talking about even those who have it. I tried it, and there's not enough skeletons to heal a very large part of your HP pool, even if you team it up with Dabiri's Enigma. Judgement of Light seems to be the way to go for this method.Quote:

Ah i c
Heya again.
No the figurine doesn't heal for much, maybe 15% of my HP's. I did break my sword and was fisting it awhile, a few of those ghetto weapons would be just what the doctor ordered. After one level i left to do some ramparts for the rep/blues but i think this a decent way to get a few more easy levels after the zolo-a-thon 20 levels in one night.
I'm not sure my pally can handle Baron + Skeletons. I had to use the Seal of Light/judge/reseal trick just to survive zolo. I only have 10k hp, and 13-14k armor. I used to be holy, but picked up a few heroic tanking epics and a few kara tanking pieces (shield from Nightbane, Iron Gloves of the Maiden) and the rest are either the blue honor PvP stuff, and random healing plate. Back when I was holy I couldn't take out the spider boss on the UD side. As Prot, I didn't get too far due to my computer crashing, but I wasn't able to take on more than 3 groups of skeletons at a time.
Another problem I noticed, is that because my guys have been boosted practically from lvl 10, all the gear they have is from SM (the warlocks still have the Deadmines gloves), which at 55 is quite low. I know gear isn't all that great, but if they pull aggro in strat, they die very fast. I had planned on just questing in outland for the rewards, and then doing some instances, but if they can barely hang in Strat, I am unsure how long they can hang in outland.
So, I either need to gear out my paladin tank so I can keep boosting until they get some better gear from outland instance drops, or do instances a bit lower than required for the gear, like BRD perhaps.
I've got way more experience as a KZ/ZA tankadin than a multiboxer... XD
You don't need a weapon for Baron, period. You can even go tank a 5-man with just your fists and a shield. Try it. XD All your threat is from being hit. You're just gonna do less threat cos a huge chunk of your +spell damage is from your weapon.
If you need to judge Light on Zolo, then yeah, you're not gonna survive Baron. Your ultimate goal for your tankadin at 70 is 490 Defense to reach uncrit, and 102.4% miss/dodge/parry/block to reach uncrushable. Baron's level 60, so you don't really need that. Just stack Armor and avoidance and you should be fine. Go buy green tanking gear from the AH. +STA, +avoidance, +spell damage is what you're looking for.
If you can tank the trash in Strat, I don't see why you can't survive Baron. Your alts can help heal you, as long as you're good with keeping up the rank 1 consecrates to catch the skels as they spawn.
What level are the skeletons in baron's room?
[quote='Tdog',index.php?page=Thread&postID=85057#po st85057]What level are the skeletons in baron's room?[/quote]Level 60
Search was : "skel" then sort by region. Stratholme. There where three options. Comments hold the truth : )
[url='http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=10440']Baron Rivendare[/url] periodically summons a group of these with his Raise Dead spell. They have very little health and do minimal damage, but if they aren't quickly killed, the Baron will cast Death Pact, killing them and healing himself.
This was on a sidenote.
I have been trying out Zolo with my druid to boost part of my set. This was going really well. I kept Zolo alive. And when I ran low on health / was overwhelmed by the spawning adds I just dropped some of the totems. Gave me some time to recover and get my cooldowns reset.
trinkets (make sure to use them every cooldown).
Spyglass of the hidden fleet (for restore of 1300 health)
Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch (for extra dodging)
In this mix I had 3 healing stream totems (10-14 health per totem per tick), a pally armor aura (don't remember the name) and sometimes I would barkskin and put a regrowth and rejuv on me. By the time I needed it again my mana was replenished. I use Pitbull to track what my mana is in bearform so I know when I'm back to full again. Dont use thorns to get them to stick on you. Use demo shout instead. Also giving a nice debuff so they hit for less. Don't use swipe too often, only when you are trying to control the amount of skellies. If you swipe chances are you hit zolo a bit too. But you can try to avoid this from happening when zolo runs to one side, and you do controled swipes on the other side. Chanes on hitting him are less this way.
Too bad our realm went offline for a sec so I disconnected.
Is there anywhere else that would be good to try boosting from lvl 55 other than strat, I don't have anyone else to help me clear it and I have a lot of trouble trying to solo. I have 1 lvl 60 shaman to help me but he's not very much help. :-/
Thanks.
If your highest is only lvl 60, I'd just dual box em and quest. You can simply do em faster with 2 compared to 1, and both toons will get xp from it. Just stick to azeroth until you hit 58, cause then the rewards/xp in outland is way better.
Oh sorry I just realized I said that wrong >.<
I only have a 60 shaman to help my 70 pally.
The character I'm trying to level is a 55 rogue.
Just got my 2nd set of two shammies into Sunken Temple last night. OMG I frogot how mindless that place was. I mean I loved seeing my toons ding every 25min but I am defently going to have some other form of entertainment going on while I am boasting the second half of my team.
I just thru up a windows media player over one of the less important lowbie screens and watched some movies while only half paying attention to the skeletons and hp.Quote:

Has anybody tried this with a warrior? Technically the process sounds like it should be very similar. Attach shield spike, let them pound on you in defensive stance, swap gear as it becomes broken, etc. The problem is just deciding how to keep him healed. The only healer in the group would be a priest. Would renewing him periodicly eventually draw aggro from Zolo?
By using many Demo Shouts and low rank renews I don't think your healer would pull aggro from Zolo. Maybe the spawning skellies that resisted a hit / demo shout might turn on the healer. The only bad part about the healer healing is that it would go into combat, and that means you can't reset without getting that toon killed. The best part about pallies and druid (with good support from the alts around the corner) is that they can heal themselves.Quote:

I did read on EJ in a thread about twinking alts / powerleveling that a fury warrior could kill the endless stream of skellies from a little distance. But I would not know how to keep solo at a distance, and keep the totemspawns heading for the warrior. Maybe someone on this forum has an answer for you to work with.
I had a problem with tagging the skellies as a druid. So my XP per hour was somewhat low. Now I dont use thorns/ retri aura from the alts (since I did not find them helping on the tag), and I have tried the electrofood (stormchops) but Zolo went down too quick. In my new tactics I pull zolo and wait till some of the adds have spawned. I then I strave to the right (I pull at a left position against the wall furthest away from the centerroom) That way I have Zolo on my left, and change my camera a bit to the right where the skellies start to mount up. That way I can start to swipe without killing Zolo. I can keep going for half an hour for my gear starts to go dead. I avg about 100K - 120K xp per hour.
Any other known lowdmg way to tag the skellies? I would like to get the 200K xp per hour : )
Hello everybody, I have just found additional exploit/bug for lvling in ST. You need to climp to the wall (Candle is near it). When you need Zolo's hp to be restored, just jump and use concentration, it will evade for a while. Also you can jump to a wall near candle.(I am boosting shamans with paladin).
You'll need ~6 shields. and few hundreds of gold =) you don't have to reset instance or jump down from the circle anymore.
P.s. I am sorry for my crappy English.
Please remove this post, exploits are against the ToS of these forums. We aren't interested in cheating in WoW :)Quote:

Toss a Lifestealing on it and go to town - since it doesn't bind and has no weapon type you can use it on all your level 1's (but you can't use most special attacks). http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7005
Another (best??) option if you have money to burn is Inuuro's Blade (SSO Revered 1H tank sword) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34672
It is 1.4 speed so maximizes your SoL/JoL I guess (fastest speed for a Paladin-useable weapon, AFAIK). Not terribly expensive, and it's not unique so you can buy extras, its something around 35g with the reputation discount.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34672
Do you have any stats on the EXP/Hour of the Baron thing? Do they spawn fast enough to warrant trying this?
I got a full level from 57-58 in about an hour and a half. It's definitely not the best choice for speed levelling, however if you want to level while you're talking to friends on the phone, or watching a movie on a second monitor, it works pretty well. Added bonus: You don't deal with the sheer amount of hits that you do with Zolo, so your armor breaks a good deal slower. One shield break in an hour vs one shield break every 8 minutes. I used my epic shields cause the repair cost ended up being about one and a half epic shields and a quarter of my armor. Not exactly breaking the bank.Quote:

Figurine of the Colossus, rank 1 Blessing of Sanctuary, and a whole bag of the cheapest shields you can buy from a vendor. Is all you need.
Also recommend a nice long book, something like *glances at bookshelf* War & Peace? Atlas Shrugged? Those look pretty thick. :)
Not at all. Jumping off of the shelf is a normal situation. Exploiting a clipping bug in the wall geometry is not. :PQuote:

As far as I know, it's not possible to have the alts help with anything but passive abilities that don't cause aggro. New skeletons spawn very fast and will pick random targets with any aggro whatsoever. If your alts so much as buff themselves during the process they will get aggro from at least a few skeletons.Quote:

But perhaps instead of running SH a while for the trinket. I believe you could clear the Dragonkin from the floor below and park your alts there. You should be in heal range and LOS, if you stand your Warrior on the edge. I don't think the skeletons would go after the alts then, even if they did they would expire before they pathed that far through the instance. Well unless the skeletons wallhax and take a shortcut or aggro stuff on the way.

J/K:P Yea don't use Holy shield or retri aura or anything. I just used top rank BoSanct in green gear, jumped off right before zolo died and ran back up and started all over again. Usually got zolo going 30 mins+ easily with just top rank BoSanct. If you want to use your raid gear and if it's good enough to use just rank 1 BoSanct more power to ya. And yes you will get like 20 levels in a 10 hour sitting or so.
[quote='Fursphere',index.php?page=Thread&postID=898 41#post89841]Its a ten page thread, cut me some slack! :D And I actually read like 7 or 8 pages of it... wasn't clear about exactly "how" you were killing all those skeletons.
thanx for the info[/quote]LOL yea I was just giving you a hard time like you give all the newbie MB'ers :D
Anyways I explained most of it when I first started back on [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=76807#post76807']post 26[/url]. I was going to do a revamped version of it after my third team went through and put a thread in the Advanced tactics section but never got around to it. As far as the skellies dying goes, you don't actually try to kill them. You're just tagging them and they will automatically die after about 45-50 seconds or so.
Basically Zolo throws down a max of 5 totems. Each totem summons roughly 10 skellies about every 5 seconds. So you got 5 totems spawning up to 10 skeletons each every 5 seconds meaning that pretty much every second a skeleton is dying and another is spawning in its place. These aren't exact numbers just aprox. as best I can tell.

I had GREAT success doing Zolo with an undergeared Shaman: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...gion&n=Malicea
I would park alt outside Zolo's room.
Move into room with shaman, set up on/near the ledge, with my back to the corner of the overhang.
Agro zolo with a something.
I face zolo the entire time.
He charges and starts dropping the totems.
I drop Stoneskin, Wrath of Air, Mana Stream, then apply Earth Shield.
I continue to apply Earthshield as it wears off, my HP slowly plummetting.
When HP gets to around 35%, Nature's Guardian starts kicking in, and between Nature's Guardian and Earth Shield, I never deviate far from 35%. If I fail to keep Stoneskin up, or miss reapplying Earth Shield, I will die within 6 or 7 seconds.
Zolo never even comes close to dieing. My gear gets destroyed long before Zolo even gets to 90%.
I normally use a Green lvl 66 shield with an Iron Shield Spike.
Anyone have any ideas on how to keep going longer then 15 mins at a time? This is about how long my gear lasts.
Trouble with non tanking classes is lack of increased block rating. You were able to last ok, but you weren't blocking much with the shield. Does red gear make you die too fast? Or is the shield enough? I would try getting some non-durability items, and plenty of shields.
How exactly are you tagging the mobs with low shield block rating and just a shield spike? Did you check the xp/hr on the alts?Quote:

If you have epic gear there is no need to buy a green set, just buy allot of shields
I'd get through 8 shields with my boots at 70/75 durability(meaning my gear wasn't really being touched, just the shields)
I used rank1 blessing of sanctuary to tag the mobs and figurine of the colossus once every 10 minutes (about the same time i changed shields) to keep myself alive
I didnt need to help on my alt at all, and i didn't use any damage shields at all (not even a spike) to keep zolo up for a hour at a time (then i would bubble and hs to repair)
Earthen elixirs help a lot, but cost 2 gold each on my server
my friend got 39-58 and then waited in hellfire till i was done
and my rogue went from 35-58 (3 days 14 hours played at 59. my new record!)
After 58 the skeletons stop giving experience
Key point = epic gear. :PQuote:
