5-Box leveling speed

[smk]

4x Warriors alliance side, until level 36, are pretty miserably slow. I hit my stride around 40, and things got really nice and quick after.

Are you doing dungeons or quests or a mix of both to get to 36. My teams are still in the 20's so having abit of a slow push being im on a crowded server

Hello all. New member here - just taking my first dive in to multiboxing with WoW Classic. I mained a shaman back in retail classic, and know the class very well, so I decided to run 5 shamans. I'm not sure yet whether that was a smart move or not ;P. My goal is to farm instances such as Stratholme for Righteous Orbs, etc. I'm looking for some insight tonight about leveling speed. I'm 29.5 and just hitting 4 days 7 hours played. Not all of this time was solely dedicated to leveling, so that's not as important as this: it's taken me about 2.5 hours to get half way through 29. I'm grinding in SM GY right now and I don't have much difficulty with any of the mobs, except for the boss, of course, but I only tried him once. Seems painstakingly slow to me. Is this the pace I should be expecting? 5 hours to go from 29-30 seems atrocious, but if that's classic, I guess I'll just have to keep it up.

TL;DR: It's taken me 2.5 hours to get half way in to 29. Am I doin it all wrong?

I am just curious if anyone has taken a melee cleave team into mid-higher level dungeons yet. I am curious how they find the speed of the comp. I have been bouncing back and forth to mage team and melee team. I favor the melee team when doing outdoor quests due to the 0 down time, but having only done two dungeons so far Stockade and DM. I am wondering how viable multiboxing melee will be at end game.
