Incredible new Speed Leveling Method.

[Silly Gooooose]

So first off, sorry if this is a re post, but I think this is new. I've seen the anathema pally leveling crap, and the mage doing SM and such, but I have never heard of this method until A friend told me about a guy with 17 hrs /played to level 40.

Second, I'd like to say I am not sure how well this will work for multi boxers, but for some one solo leveling.... it's huge.

Last, before I spit it out, Yes, I did test it, Yes my level 20 shaman (1 out of my 4 was in there, left the others outside) was getting 505 XP per kill.

This requires a DoT class, I used my Warlock. I tried a pally's consecrate, but it disappears as soon as you zone out.


Run in with your said warlock, Dot all the mobs with a rank 1 (I use Siphon life for free heals and b/c it will take them to about 1/2 HP with the 1 dot. 1350+dmg specced UA) Then you gather them all up by the exit of the instance, and run your lowbie well away from the mobs, but make sure you get the lowbie in combat with the mobs you pulled. Then, you Dot them all with a max rank corruption, and zone out before they die. The mobs then turn and try to run over and kill your lowbie, but die to the Dot, thus he gets all the xp, as if he just soloed the mob.


So the main things are, Round mobs up at the entrance of the instance.
Make sure your lowbie gets in combat, and then runs as far away as possible, cuz the mobs will 1 shot him if they get there.
Dot them, and zone out.

As I said before, I haven't tested this too much, so my methods are not perfect yet. Please, try this out, and tell me what works best. Either way, this is pretty good XP. My 1 shaman, in with my 70 gets 59 XP a kill at 20. If the 70 runs out before it dies, he gets 505. Close to 9x the XP... So while this takes a lot longer to setup, compared to AoEing the place with my pally, I think it might be faster.

I am going to do more testing, best methods, XP per kill when I put all 4 in and such. I will post my findings in a few mins.

Please do this yourself and let me know what you find


[Edit]
After more testing, my 4 shaman were getting 164 a kill @ lvl 20, without the 70 Outside, 78 per with him Inside. I still think in the end it's faster to do it with a pally AoEing, IF you are mutli boxing. Power leveling a single char though, it's still a huge bonus, 505 xp vs 59. Hell, you need 20k XP for level 20, thats only 40 kills and you level, lol. The main limitation to this, is if you screw up, and miss dotting even 1 of them, or leave him high enough HP that he reaches your alts, they will get rick rolled very fast. So this method has a higher death rate for me. Plus with them being level 20, they can't do shit to kill the mobs, even if they are @ 5% HP. I'm also going to try seed of corruption, but the problem is it takes 2 years to cast when you have 6+ mobs beating on you, and some of them shield slam... You also can't run too far from the entrance, b/c you have to be near them when they die, or you get no XP.

I'm going to do some math now, to test whether it's faster to

It will be fixed. Enjoy it while you can.

everything always is, but the guy who told me about it (got 40 in 17 hrs /played) said hes been doing it for a few patches.

It's been around forever, pretty much.

Kinda what he said, though I guess it's not that well known, or maybe just hard to fix? I'd figure blizz would fix it if they knew about it.

Actually they did technically nerf the pally aoe the shiz out of the whole instance thing in that you can only run about 5 instances within like 1-2 hours or something like that not entirely sure. Either way I'm doing that with my lvl 70 pally atm in stockades. Pull the first corridor and the left wing completely, 2 top ranks conscretes kills them all then run over and do the right wing using BoP and DS because with about 10 convicts on you you just about can't even move its so damn annoying >

Anyways full clears take about 6-8mins x5 runs = about 1 1/4 lvl in about 30-40 mins. in the low 20s. However you can only do 5 runs till you have to wait about an hour to do it again. That's when I go to work on my secondary mage team I'm lvling to for my warrior tank once they hit 70

this is a great method although i'd consider it an exploit. I actually read it on a "i wont mention what type of fourm because ill get in trouble" forum. It works well if you have a warlock, seeds > howl of terror > win big XP.
Its not known its very rare.

Actually this method was indeed posted awhile ago on these forums, the problem is it's not really feasible due to the time spent positioning alts, the fact that it only works so far from the instance portal, and it requires a specific class(warlock, maybe boomkin but that's risky), and most of the time if you don't do it right or have resists(even Critters can resist lv70s) you're gonna be in trouble, not to mention if your alts get attacked, they're most likely going to instantly die on contact :p

Actually seed doesn't work. When you zone out, the seed goes off and only kills the target it was on, the rest evade the dmg.

I doesn't take any time for me to set them up after the first pull I in, grab the first hallway, pull them to the door, then run my alts out into the hall way as far as i can, and just leave them there for the entirety of the instance. My 1 corruption takes the mobs to 30-40% HP, so when I get them to the door, and dot them all, they either die and don't reach my alts, or I didn't dot them, and they kill my alts. The fact that you need a specific class is the same as pally or mage AoEing though. I like this method mainly b/c my main is a T6 lock, and I don't have a mage or pally that is my own, though I have access to a pally at times. I also have a mod that shows me clearly when something resists, so I just re dot it. Plus I never pull more than 6 at a time, preferably 4-5. Though I will agree it is a lot more risky for your alts than AoEing with a mage or pally.

It just depends, I find I level faster with the pally, when doing 4 alts, but my friend used his warlock to do this method last night, and went from 27 to 32 in the same time it took me to get from 26-29.

It's the same as doing it with a mage or pally, you have to do the pulls 4-5 times before you start seeing what really works, and then you and your alts die a lot less.

Thanks for this great idea! I only used it to boost one toon though, seems like it wouldn't be worth it if you were sharing xp in a group. I made it from 23 to 38 last night and today. Any ideas of other instances after SM I should try this with?
