I would like an opinion on when to go into what instance and what to pull/grind there. Currently i am level 31 (ProtWar, Priest, 2 Mage, Warlock) and tried my hand at Graveyard yesterday. That were like 6k / hour. And i was to low for the Library. So how what did you guys do in SM and how did you level there?

Its best to keep your mobs green until you master your comp and develop a strategy. I started going to SM around 32 and my comp is Pal, Piest, 3x mages. You can do the last wing of Gnomergan, there's a rare that spawns that has nice loot, Thermaplugg has nice loot. Get your Acidic Walkers and Hydrocane for your casters from Irradiated Horror. RFK has some nice drops too.

If you're struggling in SM, at that level try out Razorfen Kraul. The loop around the first few bosses is lower than the rest of the dungeon and should be easily farmable.

4 Mage + 1 Priest here: 2 mages one level and 2 mages lower level. Priest is the same as the highest level mages.

For GY: I went there at 30 on lowest, 32 highest: No issues.

I couldn't pull the entire first room of guards along with the hallway, but I was getting it done. I stayed there until 35/33 I believe.

Library: 35/33 until 39/37

Farmed this until i got five daggers for the five offhands i got in GY

Cath: 39/37 (very close to 40/38 so that happened within the first few pulls) and still there now, 43/41

Bit unrelated but how are you finding PMMMM? I was considering trying it but haven't been able to find any videos etc. Do you just pull mostly with priest then AE/Holy nova spam or try chain novas etc?

[Fornza]

I drive from my best mage... then get a group of about 7 - 10 mobs, AoE Arcane Explosion, Blast Wave, and Holy Nova for the win.

I often put a bubble on my pulling mage or highest dmg mage, dropping a renew on him before the pull or maybe multiple toons as Im running through mobs into the pull, then i spam the AoE.

My set up is click through to heal, but I'm rarely using it based on above.

I doubt what I do is worthy of a video (plus I've never made one), but it gets the job done. My group is steady, only rarely do I have a toon die, and I put zones on farm status pretty quickly. It is fun !

If you have a priest in your team.
Here is a tip for SM

this is great.

this is great.

Pretty darn awesome. Turns a 4 AoE DPS team into a 5 AoE DPS team with a tanky DPS.

Use the fire shield buff (5) on yourself before you start spamming arcane explosion. The same trick works with the battle mages in strath living (and a few other spots.)

You can also give yourself huge buffs by MCing certain mobs like the spellbinders in BRS (81 fire resist.)
