BRD - AOE Heaven - 80k XP/Hour - 95 Gold/Hour (Post demo shout nerf)

I'm curious how you're avoiding getting shield bashed on your priest. If I'm not mistaken, most of those dorfs shield bash, and your priest is sitting on top of them it looks like.

Based on a previous post, someone did the math on max rank demo/battle shout and for a party of 6 ( 5 accs + warlock pet) battle shout is better until the pack is 10 or more mobs. party of 5 (no warlock pet) the number changes to 8 or more demo is better.

Dang it..i knew that..old age and short memory lol.. So for me ( no lock yet ) and my small packs.. what I'm doing is best. Got it thanks!

I noticed my healer was sometimes being stopped from healing when I would start DPS right away on small pulls where my casters could handle being hit, but never when I build up threat on the warrior first he never gets stopped. I have no idea why it changes.

I saw the same thing with the guardians/etc. that do that in RFK. Sometimes they'd bash my shammy, most of the time not. Sometimes, they'd bash one of my warriors. Was odd.

I am curious, i have 3 mages sitting at 22-25, is it really vital to have the warlock as part of the team?

If a caster is in range of being interrupted when their interrupt comes off CD, they will turn and interrupt. I'm going to guess that it's just luck of the draw, since all your DPS is also caster based, the shield bashers have a 1/4 chance of getting the healer.

3 mages work fine and possibly even better, I just like having a variety for when I hit 60 + utility of warlock summons (for example I am summoning my guild to duke hydraxis atm) + eye of killrog pulls + soulstone. There Might even be way better builds that use the demon tree for improved sacrifice to regain a lot of the lost HP from hellfire. I just personally don't want to end up with a bunch of mages once I hit 60, although that might be best for farming gold like this.

Please share your mages build? I am running same setup as you but with 3 mages instead of the lock. I did the talents a bit wrong and want to go more arcane as I only do aoe farming anyways except the bosses. I am thinking frost down to shatter and then rest arcane? frost nova into Cone of Cold into AE spam seems really bursty and good.

Are you having issues positioning your mages so that the Cone of Colds hit the mobs everytime? Cool videos keep it going!

Do you have improved demo shout?

[Apatheist]

Here's an idea. Super fast XP and these mobs respawn constantly. Though you're not gaining any gold/drops.

The most important talent points you can take on a mage (for boxing purposes) are the first two points in arcane subtlety. Straight 40% reduced threat on arcane explosion for two points is huge.
