One week after my last post and I'm 40! Mount time!!!

Two weeks of leveling and I have 5 40's. I'm having a blast! 200 levels in 14 days, and still going strong. My instance runs have gotten easier and easier. I'm kind of amazed how great of a tank my pig is. My pally is better at long-term, multiple target threat, but my pig has about 1k more health and has better burst aggro. My hunter has really come into her own in the last 13 levels. I bought her a really slow gun, and she preserves ammo a lot better. I can make several instance runs without running out of bullets, now. She picked up one of the black armored pigs in Razorfen Kraul, which is badass, but he doesn't get a Gore upgrade for a loooooooong time. Eh, that's not so bad. Normally I just leave Gore turned off, anyway.

Since my last message, I've run SM Graveyard and Library at 33, Razorfen Downs at 36, SM Armory at 37, and SM Cathedral at 39. I could have done most of those earlier, but that's just when I got around to doing them. I gotta say, I think Library gave me the most trouble. Getting to and killing Doan wasn't an issue at all. I set up my "spread out" key binding to make my alts strafe to the side around a corner when he did his exploding thing, and he died eventually. The hard part was getting out. The respawn rate in Library is ridiculous. I would normally get all the way to the huntsman's cloister on my way out, only to aggro a dog and trainer that spawned right on top of me. While killing them, another one spawns and attacks. Then another, and another. I swear, I had six dog and trainers on me once. I have no idea where they all come from. I don't even think there's that many in the whole SM Library, but there I was with six dogs and trainers. ?( Anyway, getting out of Library gave me nothing but problems, while the rest of the instances were ez-mode. I never had any problems getting out of Armory or Cathedral, and those bosses went down like butter, for the most part.

Razorfen Downs takes a while to get through, but it's quite fun. This instance is the first where pally tanking really shines. I can basically spam heals on him while he keeps aggro on those huge undead packs. I still haven't picked up the plate hat from Amnennar, so I may make a few more runs, there. It took me ten kills of Herod, 8 mail hats, and 1 2-handed axe to finally get my shoulder. Gear is looking decent across the board. It could be better, but I'd have to sacrifice leveling time to do so. :whistling:

Overall, this is probably the most fun I've ever had in the game. I highly recommend it to all who think they know what they're doing.

Oh, one more thing. I said I ordered some more RAM for my desktop (the machine with my four clones on it), and it really did the trick! I don't really get any more hang-ups while running around cities. I haven't tried Shattrath yet, but I had no issues with Orgrimmar during peak hours.

Now, time for a group photo! Enjoy.

Mad respect to you leveling 5 different classes, my original 5 box team was pally, mage, druid, warlock, shaman and it takes a crap load of skill and concentration to play them well, especially in instances. As you can see....I switched to all shamans because I couldn't take the heat Hope you stick w/ it and keep us updated.

*Edit

Also have you tested in outlands yet? The amount of system resources needed to function out there is pretty steep, hopefully that RAM will hold up!
