Stress test findings so far

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Ran a 5 team comp for stress test

NE
1 Warrior
3 Hunter
1 Druid

Starting zone was killer, after 2 went to kill level 5 and 6 mobs. At 3 was able to kill level 7 mobs.

Spawning seems wonky, either everything spawns or its empty. Seems there isnt a spawn timer on mobs based on when they die. Feels like they wait for all mobs to die to start the spawn timer. Hope this gets corrected.

Get level 2 and get out and go kill higher level mobs and grind till newbie area clears then go back and do quests.

Over all team is level 11 and was killing level 19 mobs. Wasn't running any addons was doing a lot manually and through macros. Good comp so far, battle res could be good not sure yet. Debating on whether or not to swap Priest for Druid.

I have a fairly similar experience with 5x Hunters in the Orc starting zone. I gave up after the boar quest and at level 2 just ran outside and was killing level 5-7 scorpids and boars. I went and ran up to Razor Hill and Org, then at ~level 5 I started doing some quests in Razor Hill. At level 6, I went back and finished up the Valley of Trials quests. If you go up top by the named scorpid, the regular scorpids and cactus apples will pop regularly. Took a while but got it done. The rest was cake after that. Everything died in about 2-3 auto-shot volleys plus maybe one raptor strike if it's a +5. I didn't even train any hunter skills until level 7.

I skipped the crab, tiger, and raptor collection quests in Sen'jin but did the rest (Zalazane, trolls, centaur maps) and then went to Razor hill. Did all of those I could and killed Fizzule (level 12) at level 8 with ease.

I went to bed at about 3:30AM CST at level 9.4ish and making very good progress once I got out of the starter valley.

No issues with ISBoxer so far, and most of my other addons (MonkeyQuest and Questie are highly recommended if you're going the quest route) have been working fine; I can post a list if anyone's interested.

I figure it's gonna be on like Donkey Kong once I get 5x pets as everything up to about +3 dies in Arcane Shot, auto shot, auto shot (basically two volleys). I'll probably push to 15 to see how it goes. I'm guessing tonight is the last night of it.

Even just 1 pet puts a single Hunter as the fastest leveler so yeah 5 Pets will really put things on Steroids for you.

Speaking of Pets I am planning on having 3 in my party and they are called Warriors :-) . In my 2 Paladin\3Warrior party I plan drive from one healer and may just be a "melee mob" with the 2 paladins meleeing also with seals/judgments to regen mana and health for the party. I plan to try to setup both Healer's UIs identically so that I am fully redundant and can switch to the 2nd Healer if the first one goes down. If I substitute a Druid for a Warrior that will give me a combat rez and I may move to a more traditional Tank+3DPS+Healer party instead of a non-traditional 3DPS+2Healer party.

I for one am definitely interested in a list of recommended add-ons including quest helpers and what not. I especially want the best healing add-on that works well with ISboxer that I can VFX in ISboxer to easily control the background Healer from the foreground Healer.
