Running a Large Guild

[dancook]

offtank to do what?

keep hogger busy.

Ya off tanking is probably not needed much. And the DK can do that, as I remember he needed for anti magic shell.



1 Prot Pal (tank)
21 Fire Mage (duh)
6 Resto Shaman (healing)
1 Priest (mass dispel)
1 Rogue (stealth targeting of enemies, locks)
1 DK (death grip) (antimagic shell)

Ya this looks a lot better. One less class to have to write macros for.

I have 8 guys (7 mages) level 80 and some shamen in the 70s I think. Priest and rogue are in the 50/60 or so. When I get RAF again Ill do a group of 10 then another group of 10 and transfer those to active accounts.

Ya they nerf and then they unerf, Im not worried about it. Mages will always have some spell that is 40 yards.


Like I say I am going to that spot in Deepholm with the fast spawners, with level 1 guys (draw mobs from a large area) and divide into 5 man groups each with at least one mage (archane) to tag and just aoe everything. Some group will get the exp, no matter to me which one. As guys hit 83-85 (in case they do tag), I just take them out of any group (they by themselves) and make sure they can't tag (first Step would be taggers casting aoe, 2nd step is the non taggers casting aoe) .... Again the exp goes to some group and again no matter to me which one.

With RAF and level 25 Guild Perks this should level me up amazing fast, we will see.

Should be starting in about a month, still working on getting RL stable.

No man, seriously. Imagine. If he had guildperks all along he would be... Still the same level, because RAF and guild perks don't stack!
Even if it would work he would be like lvl 64 instead of 60! :O

Will definitely be "amazingly fast!"

lololol? I did.

I think that you should focus on one group getting the exp, leveling them up, and then focusing on the next group. The first group to 85 will provide better DPS, which helps the next group level up more quickly, and so on. I think that would be faster than just having the groups slowly earning experience in random chunks.

Edit to add: I still think you'd level up even faster if you just took each group of five separately and quested them to 85. Yeah, it can get monotonous doing the same quests over and over, but you get so much reward experience (even without RAF or guild perks) that it is pretty fast. Only collection quests slow you down but you plow through mobs very quickly. I have fifteen 85s, with ten of them leveled up as multiboxed five-man groups. And my shaman/warlock team is 70 now and will probably hit 85 sometime early next year. I may get to twenty level 85s before you get any of them via the AOE grind method, and I consider myself a pretty lazy leveler.

That's very good advice, and amazingly it is the exact same advice the whole community gave Sam something like 2-3 years ago when he started his 'project'.
But Sam is Sam, he knows better than that and has all these awesome leveling spots allowing him to blast through a 3rd (4th?) RAF with still a bunch of toons in the 40s/50s.

Nothing new here :-)

Indeed.

In fact he's finally outlevelled me because I stopped playing over two years ago having got to whatever max level it was back then while the best player in the world was still at level 40 or something.

Three years to level from 40 to 80. Thats certainly the most fearsome track record.

Seems they stack but its the level 21 perk, being able to summon everyone to most anyplace I can park a toon which is so nice. I can park alts most anywhere I want to go and bang .... Im there.

And of course I have way over 1000 guildmates to ask for help (and summon lol), and 400K in the bank (and over a million in gold in items to sell); so I do start a bit ahead of where I did before.

And my JC mage has hit level 83 from doing the JC daily everyday.

Fair enough.
Want to give an estimate as to when you'll have 30 toons at max level?

Well I renamed the PvE guild to "The DeathWalker Imperium" and the PvP guild to "The DeathWalker Dominion". Finally getting my golds worth.

The PvE guild is going flat out, new raid master has gotten us 6/7 in firelands normal and I am expecting 7/7 after tonight. Up to 505 level 85's with more joining the leaving.

The PvP guild is quite, I dont do a thing actually, slowly losing membership but new people do come in from time to time. No new accomplishments, just people teaming up for 2v2 and 3v3, but thats what the guild is for.

Meanwhile I am working on getting 5 million gold in AH sales on one guy, hoping that to be a wow first.

And wasting time on RL .... bleh.
