... ultimately I just ended up leveling my priest (main char) to 60. The plan was to do some farming and then make an alt army. ...

I made the four Alts and leveled them up to 10 quite quickly in the undead starting zone. At that point I figured I could farm instances and just AE everything down with my priest using holy nova. My plan was basically to AE from 10-43 going from RFC — WC — SFK — RFK — SM.

I must say that it has been a lot slower going than I anticipated (and that I remembered when doing something similar many many years ago). I’m lvl 29 on the alts ...

In hindsight, and for those of you in a similar boat, it seems that starting five alts and leveling them together is far superior to what I’ve tried. At this point I’m kind of pot committed, but wanted to share my views in the event someone else is faced with the same decision. I can do some testing and provide exp numbers if anyone is interested in the data when I get home tonight.
Thanks so much and please share what you can.

So far I have not seen any actual Power leveling scenarios that were compelling and proven to be superior on live Classic over a properly constructed 5 man team.

There are lots of us that will be looking at 2nd teams (or at least alts) once we get to cap... At this point some of us are second guessing our approach with our primary teams...

Personally I wonder sometimes if I should have just quickly leveled a main first like you did either in a group or solo (like Hunter/Druid/Rogue) and then twinked out my actual team to level for dungeons.

In the end I am pretty much committed to my path and am learning a lot about new things (all melee team is definitely new to me) so I guess it is OK. I do like new challenges & overall try to view this all as a marathon and not a sprint anyway so not that worried about it.
