Boosting An Alt In Classic

[nodoze]

I suspect many of us are interested in this topic and will switch focus on to alts once our main teams are capped.

I believe several of us will be leveling lots of alts to 35+ for passive professions (and include at least some Warlocks for strategic summon locations).

The "best approach" answer for me will be what method gives the most level 35+ alts with the fewest average hours of effort per alt (with some consideration given to how much effort each hour is for a given method).

At this point the best approach I can think of so far is 4 Warlocks & a Priest healer as it seems low risk & low effort with easy/fast leveling. Basically just send pets to attack then dot and wand but certainly interested in other options (especially if it ends up with more alts at 35+ level with fewer hours of effort).

Assuming 5 or less accounts, if your goal is mass production of level 35+ alts, one consideration that needs to be given to using a level 60 main is that you only get 4 level 35+ alts when they hit 35 instead of 5 alts... To put that in perspective, if your goal was 20 level 35 alts you would only need to do 4 teams of 5 to 35 but leveraging a main would have to do 5 teams of 4 alts to get 20 so it would need to be well more than 20%+ faster to be more efficient (given that goal & those assumptions).

The other factor is that maybe only certain mains are viable for boosting lower level alts. I think Mages are a given but maybe also Paladins and/or Warriors can be decent but not really sure at this point for which classes are at least decent for boosting alts to level 35.
