Keep Boosting in scholomance or move to Ramparts

[Boylston]

My gang is about at the same point. Here's what I've been doing...

At 55, I left Scholomance and ran them through Ramparts and Blood Furnace. BF was preferred for me, because there's just a ton more mobs. You have to drag your team along some, but it's not so bad as there are plenty of big rooms of mobs where you can park the newbies safely and then take your main in to scoop up the room and rendezvous with the team as they die. First boss in there drops a Libram as well, which I got 6 times in a row, oddly.

I didn't know that you can drop characters off after the Ramparts bridge and still get XP for the whole place. That would have been handy to know.

At 58, I took my gang and did the first few hellfire quests around Thrallmar and some Falcon Watch quests to get some gear. They were wearing BoA stuff and some SM mail and some L6 starter gear, so just about every piece was an upgrade. They also spent the first 20min of questing flailing away and whiffing on mobs in order to boost up their 2H weapon skill. You can make this easier by occasionally having the team follow your powerleveling tank around in BF or Ramparts and letting them whack on a mob that is at half health or so.

I did both the Ramps and BF quests with my tank running them through, as well as some of the quests like Cruel's Intentions and the gang hit 60-61 or so. With everyone using Divine Storm, they are pretty much able to quest without any problem now. Weapons are still Mograine's Mights and one 2H Scholo sword, which is pretty pathetic, but they're fine since they're grouped up.

With a little gear, the team is durable enough that I've had the new pallies follow my L80 bear tank through BF a few times so that I can get some practice with their DPS macro and familiarity with not having them run off randomly. This is mostly to avoid needlessly wiping when I work in my lower-level DK tank (who is 64). It does help clear the place faster too.

Going to just run with the three pallies for another level or two of questing and then I'll merge the DK with them and quest in Nagrand at 64. The last Pally is still out of the picture since he's already 70 and is standing by in Outlands to join them. I think questing through Outlands is probably the best way to go from 58-65. I do plan on running the odd instance here and there before 70, but I am waiting until they're geared better and I can do an instance where the L70 can join without gimping the XP.

Summary: Powerlevel until 58-60, do Outlands quests for gear, glory, and quick leveling, then start instancing more late Outlands and early WotLK content.
