AOE boosting with prot pally for dummies ?

[Stealthy]

TIP! In the SMs, you can kill mobs anywhere in the zone, with your alts at the entrance, and your alts will get credit. ( i only boost in the library and cathedral, so I do not know if this works in the other two zones ) I use my bear tank, I just run though swiping everything until I'm at the end. I turn on ML when I'm looting ( if i loot) so i can send loot back to my alts. I do not loot much though.

Just some further info to this - there are actually range limits in SM as follows:

SM GY: all human mobs within range from entrance. You'll need to move for undead mobs & last boss (the stairs up to the undead area is a good place to park your alts).
SM Library: All mobs& bosses within range from entrance
SM Armory: All mobs& bosses within range from entrance except for last corridor & boss - move your alts to the courtyard once cleared and park there.
SM Cath: All mobs outside cathedral within range from entrance. Pull the boss outide of the cathedral (all mobs inside cathedral will agro as well) and you'll be fine.

Cheers,

In the Cath, You can kill that secret boss behind the hidden wall, with your alts at the entrance, and they will get exp. But yea.. when you pull the boss outside.. the mobs come out with him.

Yes you can, however if you tank the bosses at the altar you will defintely NOT get exp if your alts are camped at the entrance. I tested this tonight and had to pull them back from the altar to get exp on my alt.

Slightly disappointed with boosting xp since RAF xp doesn't apply (since the mobs are trivial to the booster). The xp is fine, but I'm constantly running into the instances-per-hour limit. Happened both in SFK and now in SM Cath.

SM Cathedral is great fun for a prot pally though. Zone in and kill the guy who aggros your noobs. Then run through and run a course around the bottom and top levels pulling everything, finally stopping around a corner somewhere and consecrate/HSing. If you have Blessing of Santuary up and set of Divine Plea about 5 sec before you start the kill, your mana won't drop -- BoS alone should keep it maxed with all the hits. Second pull is even easier as you run toward Mograine, hit him with a frisbee, then run out of the place and around a corner, and everyone comes running up to you. Fun! But as I said, a bit too fast as I keep getting the "You have entered too many instances recently" message.

Much easier method - run straight to the boss, pull him, run back. Entire instance will auto-aggro. Takes under a minute

I don't think this works any more - I was doing SM Cath runs on the weekend, and when I aggro'd the boss, it pulls all the mobs inside the cathedral, but those outside don't aggro. Or is there something I'm missing?

Booster needs to be on an unlinked account and you get full RAF bonus....

Either that or they changed something since I did it 2 weeks ago
