Advice now that Zolo is 'fixed'

[Perrigrin]

First of I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed it gets nerfed so soon after me starting it, but o'well - Can't say it's surprising they did it :P

So this is now my question: If you followed my posts you know that at 34 I decided to swap from a 5 shaman team to a 70 paladin running 4 shamans. Thanks to Zolo the shamans are now 44 (the 5th is at 34).

Now, what are my options as Zolo is fixed?

1) Run instances with the paladin tanking that is more appropriate for the level and the shamans dps:ing - Should be decent xp, definitely worth it to do the quests.

2) Is there another Zolo like spot? Doubt it, at least not with as easy setup (strat has a similar spawning event, but no way to abort the event to repair etc and more difficult to clear to + harder mobs I would guess, Ie more expensive repairs).

3) Quest with the 4, supporting them with a 70 pally or mage - Probably the fastest option if done in the right spots.

or, the interesting question:

4) Level the 5th shammy to catch up (using boosted questing) - and then run instances with 5x shammies of the same level as the instance -- question is, would paladin boosting be more efficient for 40+ instances compared to the dps of 5 non boosted shamans? My guess is that the paladin would make it safer and faster, but not sure - so looking for input.

thanks!

Replying to myself: I decided that leveling the 5th shaman to catch up is not an option - I swapped in the pally to get to 70 ASAP, and there is no way that a 5x shaman team can level so much faster than a 70paladin + 4x shaman team to make up for the 10 levels I would need to grind out on the 5th shaman.

Ah, that's a real pity.

I didn't realise it had been changed (this is the first thread I've read today). Wish I'd known that was coming. I would've spent last night making the most of it instead of wiping a different team in instances.

I doubt that they will ever be posted if there are

Perri i do suggest u try it on the EU servers first. It would not be the first time they forget to implement a hotfix

*ugh ugh Vaelastreaz*

On what to do, i suggest u go the questing route. Do it as following.

STV - north area quests
Tanaris - all quests (even the pirate hats yes)
Feralas - some easy XP there
Searing Gorge - best place to lvl ever
Felwood - You should be around lvl53 by now
Ungoro/WPL/EPL/Ungoro in that order

When i was at lvl44 with my pala i did quests area's in that order, and i ended up at 61 when i was done in EPL (this was using a 70 to help me do the quests)

Hehe I will do as I'm camped right outside ST, but I don't have high hopes :P

I spend till 03:00 am last night till the second the servers went down. I managed to get to 50.7

That kinda says enough about how much hope i got for it to last :P

That sucks. Was expected, but not so soon.

I was at Zolo until 3AM as well. I really hope they did not fix it on EU, but I would be surprised if it turns out that way...

Oh noes, I farmed Figurine of the Colossus last nigt just for the purpose of Zolo boosting... Anyone knows about the EU servers, is it fixed?
