Boosting Nerfs

[Mooni]

Yes to what Heyaz said. If you just try to pull the cathedral to the front, they will reset. This happened sometime after WotLK came out.
One way around it (I learned this on some youtube vid) is to kill Morgaine first, slap Whitemane till she rezzes Morgaine. Once both of them are back up you run to the entrance hall (not the actual entrance) and they are some kind of weird 80yd assist aggro magnets. They'll pull 99% of the instance to you.
Remember too that AoE damage has been nerfed so it takes quite a while to kill 'em off. It used to just take a few rounds of consecration; nowadays "a few rounds of consecration" means several minutes.

Thanks on that. That will help. The XP has majorly been nerfed in these places when boosting. I just started some new toons and at level 10 went to SFK. I pulled the whole place and only got 5400xp. That was not even enough to get to 11. From 10-18 I would get a level before.

I never have a problem with mobs resetting in cath. Library? Yes. Armory? Yes. Pull Cath in two pulls, pull everything outside in one big loop and kill everything at the base of the stairs leading up to the second level. Then pull everything in the Cath down the stairs of the Cath doors. If mobs run back into the Cath before they die, some of them may not yield XP.

I'm getting good exp at the IC tables ...... gogo tag boosting.

You''re only clearing outside the Cathedral. They reset inside the cathedral.

Pull mograine
Run out of the cathedral on the grass, aoe. And see several mobs run back into the cathedral.

With the nerf to consecration, I think that Ret spec in prot gear will be the fastest way to kill, as Divine Storm is more spammable now, and u get the cleaving seal.

The prelates have always reset you have to kill them by the door if you want to kill them. The rest will follow you to the zone in.

I boosted my mage group with my 80 mage about a month ago, doing SM cath about 50 times I think. I just went invisible about 1/2 way to the door, got to the door as I was becoming visible, ice lanced the boss, and spammed arcane explosion all the way back to my lowbies. I never really noticed any mobs resetting, but maybe they changed something with 4.0.

It's been months since I did SM Cathedral, but I recall that I could do it in two pulls without mobs resetting. Pull everything outside of the Cathedral, then run into the Cathedral and aggro Mograine. I don't recall that any mobs ever reset when I did it that way, though Mograine and the bitch would act weird sometimes.

I did run a lowbie through Ragefire Chasm the other day and thought that the exp seemed low, but it's been a long time since I did any boosting and since it was a single lowbie she wasn't getting group bonuses. So it might just be perception.

[Gomotron]

I've been boosting the past 2 days in SFK. I haven't noticed a significant decrease for XP per pull so far. I still get around 1 1/2 levels per clearance at level 12-16.

YMMV
