5-Box leveling speed

[kett73]

My first team of War, Priest, 3 Warlocks was 11d 10h played to 60. Now im leveling Feral & 3 Mages with my 60 Priest mostly just AE spamming so far and im about 1 day played ahead @ 40 of my old speed.

Doing some tailoring, auctioning and afking at the side.

What spec did you run on your locks? This is my first 5-man and I’m running this combo. I’m only 18 so no AOE yet, but it’s still doing well tabbing thru targets and DOTing.

First team took 11 days 17 hours to 60! 4x lock 1 x disc!

so far my 2nd team (and will be main) 4x mage disc,took 1 day 12 hours to 30. I expect to hit 60 in 5 or 6 days played.

Is there a strategy you don’t mind sharing? I haven’t found it to be nearly as fast. Right now am roughly 38 across my toons and grinding dungeons is not nearly that fast. Do you mix in questing as well focus on kill quests?

[Peregrine]

Pure dungeon farm only! I did quests up to 14 (AE) and after that I've completed 4 quests so far. Will share soon my findings with lv 30 upwards. Expect udpate soon.,

Yes, to me dungeon grind seems terribly slow.

I pretty much wanded to 36ish. Single target was just corruption/shadowbolts. AoE pre-shielding and hellfiring. After demo shout nerf it got lot slower with AoE so ended up mostly single targetting.

I'm dungeon grinding and I'm also having a hard time, it's really slow. I'm considering tanking 2 characters and just level them up Questing and leave the other 3 behind.
I have a Rogue(My Main) in my group that is also slowing me down alot since I can't AoE farm at all, mobs are at 10-20% hp when my casters run out of mana so I guess if I had another mage/lock I could AoE farm and maybe it would be faster, but right now I have played very little the last 2 weeks because I'm a bit frustrated so I'm not really in the mood to play the same dungeon over and over again.

So I guess if you have a good AoE team you will level fast, if you don't have an optimal team its slow.

Any suggestions to not get burnt out? I thought about AoE grind non elites too but not sure how fast that would be or if my team is able to do it.

I recently burned out after my 50th (ish) run of SM GY. It helps me not burn out to have multiple teams and a few solo characters that I can work on when I start feeling like I'm at work instead of having fun.

wow ur 2nd team super fast so far.. 4 mages arcane? are u horde, where are and when are u stopped at dungeons and then moving on?

[Peregrine]

Horde, Undead!

Currently at 2 days 4 hours played, lv 34 (5 hours or so was afked). Planning to hit 40 before 3 days timer is up. Leveling is usually 70 mins per level. There is downtime to travel to cities, learn spells, get some gear etc.

Pure arcane.
