..but I have to agree a bit. I'm not thrilled about The Tillers at all.
Quick-look on questlines and the environment seems quite boring, reputation rewards are mostly just mounts and companions.

I wonder how much exp can you gain by doing Cata heroics in MoP.. Or if MoP dungeons were doable like Cata normal dungeons were at the start.
Normal dungeon clearing at the start of Cata was easy for 5 mages and the exp was fairly good. Especially The Vortex Pinnacle was fun and Volatile Air-wise quite profitable.

Next to nothing if the same rules apply for this expansion. Someone already brought it up in the Group Comp section and there's a 90% drop in XP for previous-expansion content.

You'll want to stick to current content and do non-heroics.

Ahh right, thanks for this information

There are birds in the Valley of the Four Winds called Emperor Tern that have @70k hps and are in small packs that give 22k-23k exp per bird. However, I havent been on the beta for a few weeks and heard a rumor that is was fixed, but its a good place to start.

While the Valley of the Four Winds is for players 86+, how about the harder content fx. Vale of Eternal Blossoms (which might be "locked" until at lvl 87 you can get the quest, Temple of the White Tiger, so you can unlock and enter the vale..?)

Time will tell how tough the MoP normal dungeons will be for 5 mages, but if that's a no go, then my plan is to go and farm some world end-game zone for drops and exp.. but not enough information yet about the mobs much.

Is AOE farming an option for 5 x blood DKs or 5 x elemental shaman? I know shaman lose some healing but with healing rain and new potential for permanent elementals it might be some options of AOE farming to level and get greens/blues/possible world drops.

Ele shaman their healing is among the best in the game, both spot and aoe healing. I personally expect it will get nerfed caused it's way too good.

not as good as holy pallys as you just can not kill them infact with the silly resi numbers and healing numbers healers make you GOD.


But will not see big changes for a few more weeks yet.

Has it been confirmed that some transmute mats are now bind on pickup?

Well holy paladins are healers, what would you expect? That a dps shaman would outheal a healer? The guy was talking about aoe farming and mentioned that healing was nerfed for ele shamans, and in that context was my reply.

Thanks Zenga... just trying to see if I need to focus on my 5 x DKs (70's), 5 x Priests (20's), or 5 x Paladins (40's) ... as it stands currently I have my 5 shammies in mostly honor/conquest level gear and tear up AV as elemental or resto. Looking for a way to get a leg up when the patch is released. I know last time I farmed the water zone with my druid herber and made thousands the first week and banged out a level just herbing. The ability to do AOE farming + herbing + tailoring + enchanting + inscription in my party is making me itchy to get the patch and take charge of the economy for a bit.

So i'm wondering if this means one character is max then ALL accts on one bnet get the bonus. Would make sense that you would use LFD on one fast queue tank or healer to max valor and then all your teams get 50% bonus. Using LFD on one character until you have h eroics down on one team. Not sure about this method in terms of time saved.
