Yo Kruschpakx4 !
My 4x War, 1x Sham team is currently level 45 and I've got 5x Ravagers with crusaders, aswell as 5x Executioner's Cleaver. I've kinda hit a leveling wall as I dont see ZF being as effective as I thought it would be. Were you running 1 war as tank, or just everyone as arms/fury? Also I've put in stopaura on all of my dps macros, so that they don't cancel my procs. Do you have any tips? Would be much appriciated. Also after ZF, where did you head off to? ST or BRD? Cheers!

from 45 onwards i found ZF grind to be quite ok, maybe lower xp at 45-46 but once you outlevel the mobs 2-3 levels higher you roll through quite easily. So all I did was grave runs, you also make decent money there and have a chance to grab flurry axe which sells for 300-500g where I am or you keep them for dw fury later (assuming you play orcs). I know that at 45 its still a little difficult but i dont think questing is faster at all. The executioneers cleaver should do well for the 2-3 man groups at the beginning of zf and then switch to ravager at graves (I was able to open 2-3 at level 45,46 but once you're 48+ and mobs are green you really start to reck them fast and I could open up to 6 at a time (number might be misleading since there is not always the same amount of mobs in them, but Im roughly speaking of 10 mobs at a time) in which case the shaman had to go full on lhw spam until oom but it went really well there. In generel I feel melee teams should in particular farm spots where mobs are at or below your level to avoid glancing. You can effectively run ZF graves until 52, what I did is go sunken temple at 51 for quests and to check it out and I can tell you its a waste of time if you're just looking for xp. Sunken temple has too much single target mini bosses that stall your xp/hr rate. And the graveyard is much further away than zf and you can mount in zf so enough reason to stay there. At 52+ you do brd grind as usual with arena and the mobs around that area (although the side where fire elementals are part of the packs are rather difficult I'd stay in the interrogator wing).

Tbe Blackblade of Shazram has infinte buffs, so if you get 4x of these, I'd reckon you could do in theory some retarded numbers....

• Curse of Shahram : AE Slow Enemies
• Might of Shahram : AE Stun Enemies (~5 sec)
• Fist of Shahram : Group Haste - 25% (~8 sec)
• Blessing of Shahram : Group restore life/mana (20 sec)
• Will of Shahram : Self +50 all stats (20 sec) (stacks infinitely)
• Flames of Shahram : Flamestrike enemies (~100-150 damage)

that sounds quite fun the drop rate of that thing....probably farm it with my ele sham boxer mate once the draconic infused emblem got patched in the loot

Skip the mini bosses in the upper ring. I was able to do 50-55k/hr there with alliance warriors and a priest. Warriors with a shaman would/should be even faster, and that's certainly faster than you're gonna grind in BRD from 52-55 imo.

so you just run the the right/left upstairs ring with all the mobs? yeah i guess thats good since many are cloth/casters easy prey from warriors, i just prefered brd due to having some best in slot items for warriors

i basically went for a full run, looked at xp per hour and thought nope
