5 Monks - levelling

[smalltanker]

I am sitting at 4 x 29 and 1 x 30 Mist weaver moonks (the 30 is my gatherer Mining/Herb, so I have to keep getting BOA naked for quest turn ins to stay close). The first scarlet monestary instance with the archers suck. Other than that I think I have only had maybe 5 deaths total from questing/instancing. I retooled some of my macros and my DPS is around 130-200 at nearly level 30. Fun crew, easy to play and in anything but that gimicky SM instance it has been super smooth and cruise control leveling.

PVP has been more of a challenge for me.

Uggh.

What I discovered works great with this instance (and remember you get chi wave at 30 so you might want to just level up first before you try again-instances are 900% easier with chi wave) is to have one toon go down with the arrow shield while the others stand at the back of the room channelling soothing mists on the walker. As soon as you get close enough to pull those healers at the back will get aggro and all the mobs will run back to them.


I also am using gnomes and its also because I wanted to khat-fish. (I got the ironjaw achievement getting them up to the level I needed to fish darkmoon fair waters and then my darkmoon pet soon after arriving, about 1.5-2 hours for both goals).
