Powerleveling - Scarlet Monestary

[zanthor]

Well I had to try it so I got my brothers 70th pally out of storage... he's able to clear SM:Cathedral in 2 pulls, at 40 it was around 1/4th a level per clear... thats with 1 70 and 4 40's...

[Stealthy]

Sounds good, can you post more info - like how you pull and approx time taken to clear, spec of the pali, etc...

Cheers,
Stealthy

What kind of gear do you have on the paladin?(armory?)

[shivetya]

I've used a Protection Paladin to mass clear Gnomer... but the same can be done for SM if you do it in stages...

The key is lots of mana :P

+stam +int +mp5 +spell damage

Highest order shield spike you can find.
Trinkets to add to +block if you have

The key is not to have so much +def that they don't hit you - you want to be hit - block is a better thing. There are some good trinkets and such that improve block rating

Blessing of Sanctuary, Improved Retribution Aura, and Spam Improved Holy Shield, and use Conceration to get aggro.


Two shields come to mind, footman's shield or the Sporeggar poison shield (my pally has both spiked for defensive work)

Put Mana Oil on your weapon... Judge anything to wisdom and use seal of wisdom while fighting... they will kill themselves on you... you don't have to kill them yourself :P

Spec's:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...and&n=Palakaii
Palakaii is my brothers toon, he's well geared but not amazingly geared, lots of KZ runs and some higher stuff. He would run in, gather the entire bottom level of the cathedral, then stand there and consecrate/holy shield it to death.

One thing I did was throw flamestrikes or blizzards into the mix as it got lower so I knew I wouldn't pull agro, a few times I did pull agro and bam, dead.

Palakaii had to bail to play with his roomate on another server, so I borrowed a guildies pally, much lower gear:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ckhand&n=Croll

I was actually 5boxing with croll, made the strat of follow the pally a lot more dangerous... so I would park the 4 noobs, and pull the lower level with the pally, repeat for the upper level and then do the cathedral in 2 parts.

Important things to note:
Wizards have a flame shield, this does squat to the paladin cuz he's 70th, this will DEVESTATE level 40's quickly. You pull 15-20 mobs, 4-5 will be wizards with their flame shield up... ouchy!

Don't flamestrike/blizzard too soon, it's painful.

FFS don't bubble... I fatfingered bubble once... everyone died very quickly and the paladin was all lonely...

[Slats]

If you park the 40's out of LOS you can bubble :P

I did the same thing, been experimenting with both Prot Pally and Arcane Mage.

...please tell me that first paladin's gear is a joke and those epics were saved from sharding.

[crazycat]

that gear isent that bad actualy...

[Zaelar]

kara healing items
kara shaman helmet, which i guess would be ok for a ret spec
pvp items, which work for tanking and maybe ret too
t4 ret legs, which look decent for tanking too
warrior armor/boots
caster weapon, fine for tanking
a few +spell damage items, fine for tanking

At second glance it looks like he joined a guild already into tier 5 content and was just along for the ride and got whatever dropped. *checks guild leader*, has hyjal, ssc, tempest keep loot, so I'm guessing so.
