Anybody tried an all-cleric team?

To level new characters quickly using a 50 or two, I just rush through all the quests at insane speeds since the 50s kill everything instantly. It's much quicker to level using quests than to grind dungeons, imho.

Not so sure about this. The collection quests where you have to grab stuff on the ground are a PITA because each of your 4 alts have to grab the items. Instances seems like the faster option if you can stand grinding repeatedly. Tag boosting does work (only need to tap the mob with the noobs, then kill it with the ungrouped 50 for full xp).

Yup, it depends on how many characters you level up at the same time. If it's just one or two it's not an issue. If you have more than that, it's alright to simply skip the collection quests where the object disappears after you've looted. The collection quests where the objects immediately respawn are fine.

Also, do some PvP every now and then. You get tons of XP in warfronts and it's a nice way to get some variety and feel out new abilities on the new toons. It's really easy to just jump in if they're all specced the same way. No setup or planning required.

Plus, we have the +100% XP potions now, so grinding dungeons will be faster.

Very true.

I have a 50 warrior and 48 cleric that I would be using to level 3 brand new clerics so dungeon boosting would be the most attractive option if it works out - I'll give it a try soon and see how it works out.

Anyone know if the exp received by the low-lvl alts goes way down in a dungeon group with 50's present? I'll try and test this as well but I'm curious if anyone knows this for sure already.

Hmm, I'm saving those for the planar attunement grind... But I've always liked the leveling grind better than the post-50 grind. I get bored doing the same dailies and dungeons over and over again, but not as bored playing low-level PvP, getting new abilities or questing in new zones all the time.

I did a lvl 33 dungeon last night with two 50s in the group. Didn't get much XP at all on the lowbies, whereas it seems I could have leveled them during the same time doing PvP or questing... It would be nice to have an XP/hour addon like I had in WoW.

I leveled a third mage once, using two level 50s. It went insanely fast just doing questing. The third mage barely got any XP at all from the kills but got a gazillion by just turning in quests. Meaning that the XP-boost potions wouldn't make any difference at all in this case, since it's only for kills.

If I can remember, I'll test that tonight and let you know how much the XP drops. I think it will be different for each dungeon as well, depending on how far below-level the alts are. You might also be able to take them into higher-level dungeons by running to the entrance versus using the LFD tool.

Bummer, you can't take the team to a higher level than the minimum requirement using the tool, no matter who the leader is. You can take your team to any lower level dungeon, but I think it checks the lowest level team member for higher-level dungeons.

Nice to hear!

Would you be able to record a T1 run?

I had actually been meaning to record instances as I go, but I always forget. I recently stopped playing WoW where I was guild/raid leader of a 25HM guild. In 3 years of raiding, I don't think i once remembered to start recording before the fight. I ended up assigning someone else to do it

But yeah, I have a few days off work coming up and I'm planning to stockpile some snacks and pull a few all-nighters. I'll try to remember to record a few. I've been running the daily raid and expert rifts each day, too, so I can probably upload some of those.
