Stratholme and ZF Boosting Tips Needed!

[Aethon]

I'm about to move on to SM with my guys right now. I'm using a mage, though and while I have close to 10K health, it still seem to lose hp more then I would like.

For SM, does everyone just do Cath because it's the fastest to get the big groups together? I was just thinking about doing Library for the first few levels (until they get to ~25) because not only are the mobs a little lower level, but also any mob more then 5 levels higher all give the same XP anyway.

Mainly, I was thinking I would be able to pull a few more mobs in library then in cath, but it's a moot point if it's physically easier and faster to pull the mobs in cath.

Hello,

Can I ask how exactly you are boosting Strat that fast? I am boosting with a level 80 heroics geared mage. My biggest problems are:
1. Diseases. My lowbies can't remove them either. I may need to just buy plenty of potions for this one.
2. Eye of Naxxramas. Dam annoying
3. Pull size.

So which part of Strat are you clearing? Is it from the service entrance all the way to baron, or main entrance all the way to the big tunnel? or both of them? And as a mage, how big should I pull? My ice barrier usually hold up fine, but I get silenced by the banshees, and knocked back by the patchworks. That's really annoying.

Seems like an old post but will put my twopence in anyways :P

I use a Level 80 prot pally for boosting in strat, kills 2 birds with one stone, 1st is to boost my aslts up and second covers as a mount run.

I have not done it for a while last time was mostly ilvl 200 gear and maybe a couple of naxx items. But even then i could pull huge groups, drag em back to the entrance or wer i left my alts and burn them down with consecrate, holy wrath and wotnot. I only did the undead side (faster runs) as i think a pally can burn down undead a lot quicker esp if you have sense undead on for the extra damage. the only thing that was giving me problems was the spiders webbing me the same time i got silenced Hand of freedom, divine sheild (also popping divine sheild wen frogged in ZF works as well, but use sparringly lol )

Am doing ZF at the momment with 4 shammies (lvl 40 atm ) and wen i hit 45 they will be heading to strat, looking forward to strat as now in T9 and equivilent gear and wondering how i will do compared to the lesser gear.

thanks anyways for my two pence
