Mage boostign madness.

[griffin01]

I'll add my input on this.

I used a pally for boosting. Aftre SM at 45 I went to strat and entered dead side. I will break down my pulls here.

I numbered each group within the pull.

as a pally make sure you are specced with blessing of sanctuary... my pally is holy pally with really deacent pvp gear (10k health and mana with 800 spell dmg), use your holy fire spell to pull. make sure to watch your cooldowns as this can get you killed if you dont pay attention.

buffs needed:
blessing of sanctuary
divine shield
righteous fury (spec into righteous fury for dmg reduction)
concecration aura
blessing of protection

first pull, 1 to 5, pretty basic and use your divine shield when you have all 5 groups, consecrate, aoe holy wrath (i think thats what its called), and consecrate again... this should make it easy enough to kill all non elites by the time divine shield runs out. than the basic heal and consecrate combo till they die. You use divine shield first so you have it for the next big important pull.

second pull, 1 to 5, make sure you grab the big green fat guy on the way through. on group 5 there should be a corner behind them, this is where you want to be. It helps prevent kick backs from impacting your heals too much. once you are in your corner, you will BoP yourself and once again concecrate, holy wrath, and heal... BoP doesnt give as much time and wont draw in the casters, so you want to make sure you are at full health before it runs out. side note, do not forget to refresh your blessing of sanctuary when you use your BoP.

third pull you want to time it so the green fat guy pats away from you before you pull. the objective is to make sure he does not join the group on this pull. by this time the divine shield cooldown will be ready, so once you make your pull, basically where the 5th group is is where you will begin killing... concecrate, divine shield, holy wrath consecrate, heal. than more consecrate and heal till they are dead.

fourth pull you want to skip the group with the postman... this group is behind first group you are going to pull. skipping for one reason, the postman does snap kick and if you end up pulling all 5 groups here, you will die. anyhow, just to the left of the 4th group is another corner you will want to stick yourself in to ensure you are not being kicked back a massive distance while you are healing. also, use BoP for this one.

fifth pull once again let the green fatty pat away before pulling because he isnt included. this pull your divine shield should once again be ready so pull away, and divine shield... quick kills.


Once you find all the nooks and crannies in this system, you will get it down to a science... the only buggers here are the eye of naxx's that appear and summon gargoyles if you dont kill them in time. They will appear sometimes during a pull, so i find it best sometimes to wait for them to appear and kill them. or you may just get fortunate enough to have them included in your pulls.

So give that a try, and i hope it works out for you as good as it did for me. I took my 3 shammies in there at 45 and got them to 55... in about 4 n a half hours to 5 hours i got them from 51 to 55... so there was some deacent xp... also with a few setbacks, so if you get it down to avoid those setbacks... good to go.

good luck.

Thanks for the info - Can you please post your spec on the pally? I find it hard to get heals of with my prot specced pally and I end up having to have my shamans heal me on the pulls - which makes it tough - and can be deadly if there are casters outside of conc.

Also - Could you indicate roughly where you place the characters beeing bosted for each pull? And where is the fight spot? Always at number 5?

Thanks!

I find it hard to aoe boost on my mage in BRD, I try to pull too many and they end up netting me before i can get them to my alts. My mage is full tier 6 with around 1300 spelldmg, spec'd frost - perhaps i should wear some pvp gear for the resilence.

Wish i had a pally

[Meathead]

yea resilence helps alot i got a mage full veng/brut with only 900SD so easy i get healed by my alts aswell. aswell go to Scholo not brd scholo alot better.

[puppychow]

Perrigin said his pally is holy with 800 spell damage, which is pretty high (I'm around 600 with mediocore holy gear). If you don't have 100% anti-pushback with conc aura and the talents in holy (20 deep I think?) you can't pull more than 1-2 packs. I'm 40 holy 21 prot just to grind out my alts, and found it easiest just to pull 2-3 packs and avoid the big green guys (too much hp to bother) it takes me about 15 mins to clear 1-5 (pulling towards entrance, I leave alts at zone in point) plus the first boss on top right (shard), I reset and repeat. Get only 25-30k xp/hour compared to Perrigrins 50k hour, but it works out better for me. Gonna try Baron skellies today and see if thats better XP.

I actually wish an Eye would spawn on me and spawn infinite gargoyles, but haven't had any so far. I'm sure going to Baron it will.

I can clear BRD (well, except for Bael'Gar) with my T4 fire mage and about 1k spell damage. Of course, it does take about 3 hours :S

Oh, i can do that with ease - but that isnt exactly what i would call powerleveling I will try again tomorrow with some pvp gear on, i like to pull mass amounts of mobs :P

[badashh]

Anyone ever try farming the room in BRD with all the roaming mobs? I know it's far in there, but the respawn rate is quick right? hmmmmmm

[emps]

The BRD "quick spawners" in the lyceum (I assume this is what you're talkin' about) don't give full XP. I tried it a couple of weeks back. Not worth the effort and time. I just do the entire Ring of Law area with my shammies (3x - to catch them up to my other sham and pally's level) and 70 mage (mediocre gear) in about 25 minutes killing an average of 5 packs a pull. My shamans healed my mage.



Edit: added lyceum.
