Well recommend is a big word. It's the way that fits my playing style best. I can't do the same thing over and over for too long (except maybe if it's a first time). About the boosting: yeah i usually run with 1 shaman in ramparts & mana tombs, and with 2 in shat halls. Sometimes i just add other toons to the run to get them up as well, but those are more fillers and have no priority. I see that i get about 1k per mob killed all the time, sometimes its 900 and sometimes 1100 xp, 2 shammies (lvl 80s) give less xp. Once they hit lvl 72 i will be running with my geared 80 tank through the instances with the 3 dk's and a dps shaman. The other 2 toons will be accompanied by 3 lvl 80 shammies (since there should be no longer and xp penalty as far as i know when they are within 8 levels). And probably do some less annoying quests.

About /played ... i have no clue. I think i did 55-70 in about 15 hours on a dk. My /played time does not reflect the actual time played, since i'm afk about 80% of the time, if not more.

But regardless of how exactly i do it, boosting in rested time and questing while purple tend to work best for me.

Ualaa has described in other threads how to boost toons to 68 by killing mobs in howling fjord with shamans (with stoneclaw, stoneskin & magma totem), where your 80's are outside the lowbie group, and where you tag the mobs and the 80s totems kill it (considered pets). That should be the fastest way, but it's rather brainkilling.

Daanji,

If I may offer up my 2 cents worth.. Start by looking through the Macro Compendium. It's an awesome resource for macros for every class. And my personal suggestion would be, whether boosting or questing, begin learning your macros and abilities NOW. I run a mixed class team, and the learning curve for all the different abilities and spells, plus the timing and coordination of them, can be very steep. Even if you need to modify the macros due to a lack of lvl 80 talents or spells, it's better to start using them and practicing now, rather than wait until you are 80, and realizing you can't clear a single instance. It can become rather frustrating.

Also, as far as your group makeup goes... I would STRONGLY recommend changing your hunter from marksman to survival. I ran my hunter a marksman until very recently, and until you hit very high gear levels, you are going to be disappointed in his DPS output. Survival will give you better DPS until he gets geared up.
