Just tried boosting my druid on my main account. Used to do it with the pally, but cba to transfer him to another account. So figured I'd use a dk. Haven't touched my dk's since the patch, so I tried out my elemental shaman instead. And man ... what a booster that is in SM. Could do 3 runs every reset instead of the 2. Did it in full pvp gear.

What makes him an awesome booster for me since 4.0.1:

- the ability to use ghost wolf inside. running up to the last boss takes only a fraction from before. running back to gather all the mobs basically the same
- healing surge: a very quick and decent heal to get topped off again
- earthquake ... do i need to say more ...

I use drums of the forgotten kings + corroded skeleton key which gives me a 6k+ shield whenever I need it. and medallion of the horde to get out of roots. Whenever I take too much damage while gathering mobs, I use earthbind and once I'm in xp range of my lowbie thunderstorm. Also have stoneclaw totem glyphed. I don't use any aoe totems since my toon gets reduced or no xp at all (i leave him at entrance). Whenever I've gathered enough mobs, earthquake, if I get interrupted, trinket + earthbind and earthquake again. That + the healing surge makes it so fast (and fun actually) compared to boost with a tank.

Pre patch, I've used my shaman already to boost in ramparts, so I expect him to do well until lvl 60 at least. Though the pulls will be smaller obviously.

Just felt like sharing
