Buying 26 copies of WoW/TBC - $780 suggested retail
Big bold face claims to be the biggest and best thing out there only to turn around and buy 26 more copies of wow due to failing at step 2 - Priceless

The retailers association appreciates your support.

I'm still bewildered... take 5 on RAF, level them to 60... don't even bother granting levels and take 5 more on RAF and level them to 60, you can even have the first team tag along to help with totemDPS since totems won't affect the XP the levelers are getting... repeat until you have 25 level 60's...

Playing 2 shaman or 24 shamans is virtually identical. With a 5 shaman group I rarely had to cast more than 2 vollies to decimate any target...

The problem with your plan is that the pally is going to vastly out level the others if you keep him in the main group. This is fine until the mobs turn gray to him, then he's a huge sucking vortex of xp drainage... In or out of group.

I think the biggest thing you haven't come to accept is that grinding is not the best way to level in WoW, period. Never has been, never will be. The absolute best XP you can get (and this applies 300% more than for RAF) is questing. Even if you only do the kill-this target quests and totally skip collections you will come out so far ahead of a player spending the same time killing shit.

Anyhow, I'm going to stop with the horse, I'm sure he's had enough.
