Powerleveling a DK to 70

[pixelimp]

So, i'm taking a small break from my boxing team until christmas, in the mean time i'll be playing a DK.
Do you guys have any ideas on how i can powerlvl this DK to 70 ?
At my disposal i have 4 lvl 67 shamans on my extra accounts.
I could just quest with them ungrouped, but i only get xp from the dmg i do to a mob right ? So that would hurth my XP very much.

Any tips on how to get this to 70 in no-time ?

Honestly its super fast to just group the DK with your 4 shamans and pretend like you're questing as normal. Just do all quests including collection quests but only collect on the DK. I'm averaging 1.5-2 hours per level in outland leveling my DK with my 4 70 shamans.

Right now I'm dual boxing 2 DKs (blood & Unholy) and its going pretty fast. I haven't spent much time dead but it is a lil hard without a healer. If I were you I'd team him with at least 1 of the shammies for heals, group or not. If in group with only one shammy, that will keep the xp per kill up. If not in group make sure the DK strikes first blow on targets to get credit for the kills. Just use the shammy as a back up for heals and emergencies. The Death Knight can crank out a lot of dmg, and with a descent healer you shouldn't die much at all if any. Once you learn to play with the DK, Outlands is pretty much a breeze.

You get full XP so long as the mobs killed are within xp range of the tagging character. For powerleveling from 70s, that levels 62. I'm currently tagging things with my 66 DK, have my 9 other characters kill it, and the Dk gets full xp.

FYI, the Ring of Blood bosses give 2k exp each.

I got my DK from 55 to 70 in 1 day 8 hours /played. I did it purely with quest exp. Did most of the ones in HFP, every quest in zanga, a few in terrorkar, a decent amount in nagrand and hit 68 in blades edge. Then went to Howling Fjorde and did quests until 70. After that I jumped over to borean to get exp from those quests before I outleveled them.

So 15 levels and 32 hours is just over a level every 2 hours. Which is about right when you count downtime learning skills and whatnot.

You have a collection of death knight starting quests and you finish up at level 58. I took my death knight afterwards and RAF granted him to level 60.

Then questing as usual in Outland.

this sounds like a fantastic idea.. I may do this to replace my paladin as tank.. and a class i could play solo

is the DK tanking spec also a dps/pvp spec?

[Hachoo]

Depends on which tanking spec you choose and how strict you want to stay to a tanking spec. The bottom line is DKs can still be pretty darn good tanks even in full DPS talent spec thanks to frost presence and 1 or 2 points you can put into oh-shit talents (like bone shield for unholy).

I'm guessing if you want to tank heroics, raids, etc, you'll need to forego some DPS talents but even still DKs still do WAY more damage then prot pallies, feral druids (in bear form), and prot warriors.

You could mob tagg in a instance, leave the party tagg the mobs and kill them with your shammies, im not sure if its illigal or if you can get banned for it tho... i took 55-65 in 10h that way on my DK

This is exactly what athene did and was eventually banned for doing. I would advise against it. His team was the best at it and ground out 70-79 in about 13 hours. If blizzard didn't have a problem with it then they wouldn't of banned him.
