Zul'Farrak Pwrleveling pull strats?

[Tdog]

My shammy team has made it to 41 and I'm headed now to ZF to try my hand and more pally pwr lvling. I've seen a few threads with maps for pulling strats for other various zones. Was wondering if anyone could link me or send me in the right direction for something similar for ZF. Ran searches in the forums and wiki but not finding anything.

ZF powerleveling on a paladin sucks... Mass Healing Totems sucks.

Best advice is to setup a macro to target healing totems on your shamans after your pally gets aggro and shock them.

Hmm...is there an alternative to ZF that might be a bit better for a paladin? I should mention that I actually aoe the whole instance in my shockadin gear so my conscreations are at 204 w/o wings and usually mows mobs down. I also have been using my shammies in SM at least to chain lightning healers and such for quicker kills. I don't use actual tanking gear unless I'm doing a ZOMGWTF huge pull. Although if I decide to start doing strat and scholo i probably will use tanking gear for those.

Try BRD, I found it much easier than ZF. Just clear the big circle room and the left-most loop (goes around by the Arena) and run out & reset.

as i said in other posts.. i ran through this multiple times leveling up my son's toons with my prot spec pally.. this zone sucks... go anywhere else .. if you pally is 70 hit one of the undead instances.

Tottally agree! 70 Pallys do not do well by themselves in ZF. However, Mages kick alot ass there.

Okay so I tried out BRD this evening...that was about the worst instance I've ever seen to boost in Mobs were sooooo spread out, hit harder than I would of liked only allowing me to pull a small portion of the room at a time not to mention that mobs reset in this zone which wouldn't allow you to pull a big pull anyways. But the worst thing of all was the over abundance of nets that you got casted on you making it damn near impossible to move. No imho BRD is horrible place to power boost in.

I did do ZF later on this morning and I must say, I love this place on my paladin I can mount which allows me to pull tons of mobs in a very short amount of time and recieve very little dmg in the process. And there are 3 seperate rooms that are condense with mobs that give tons of xp, bug room, graveyard, the pyramid event.

There were a few annoying things about ZF however but suprisingly it was not the healing totems at all that annoyed me as I've seen many people have suggested would...
1. Caster mobs run away forever and then some, especially in the first corridor before the fountain. Often have to chase them down because they just don't seem to want to come back to you.
2. Hex from the shadow hunters can be very deadly if not removed off you main extremely quickly. It doesn't happen much but with pulls with even a few hunters you'd better be rdy to either dispell it or bubble out of it and /cancelaura divine shield or you can /wave to all that xp

These aren't anything that can't be overcome and overall I really like this place for boosting on my pally.

I would imagine powerleveling past level 40 using a pally to be a royal pain. I personally use my 70 hunter. Im in SM Cath atm with my 4 Shaman on follow, i'll be there till 35/36 then ZF till 45 and Scholo (first 3 rooms only) till 58/59 or even 60 depending on how bored i get before i hit Outlands. In Scholo from 45+ its pretty much 2 hours per level, if i up the pace a bit i can go faster but i dont bother. Its easy, comfy and i can even leave the 4 shaman on the bridge at the start while i go clear everything before resetting. I would suggest you stick to SM Cath till 36 or even 37 with your pally, get as much out of it as you can. Following that your guess is as good as mine ....Uldaman perhaps..? gogo

The undead packs in Stratholme are awesome to boost with when you are a prot paladin.

Lotsa dps vs undead too.

I personally decided to stay in SM till 40. I use my shammies to help chain lightning and magma totems in ZF. I'm also grinding in my shockadin gear while prot specced. My conscreation with +950 spell dmg really mows down the mobs. I use the shammies to target the healers and knock them out.

I also tried out uldaman. It wasn't too bad but the mobs are a bit too spread out for me past the first boss.
