Yea, once you push above that magic level 40+ sort of barrier, being under pop side on a pvp server is suicidal. However, you might be able to find less contested areas through into your late 30's.

9 pages of "Summary" can we have a Summary Summary thread :-D ?
re pvp... suicidal seems a bit exaggerated... if solos manage we can manage more... you can kill level 60s starting in low/mid 40s so while you are grey to them they take a risk for no reward
2,3,5 boxing wow with Wow Open Box and MAMA, give them a try!
(was 8 Boxing Wow with HotKeyNet and ISBoxer)
Was streaming on twitch.tv/MooreaTv
I guess you're not on Herod. Where literally every single FP that is near a high level dungeon is camped by multiple groups. Where every 40+ zone has roaming 5-10 man groups ganking, and the top end zones have multiple on multiple raid groups just zerging everything down. For example, Red Ridge FP frequently has 10-15+ people camping it. Good luck with that.Originally Posted by Moorea
if you are leveling a 5 man on the under pop side stay in instances and reset from inside, if you are higher level and can afford it, maybe look into using a repair bot also if it's super bad in blackrock.
Yea, that was the whole point of the conversation. It's suicide to be outside of instances in the higher level zones on these big imbalanced servers. It also takes, literally, upwards of 40 minutes to death crawl into black rock mountain, and it could be even more in some cases.
-2B) Killing by level 60 Pet(s) of any level mobs can help after the characters to be boosted tag the mobs. Note that there does need to be 2+ alts in the party to be boosted for the XP to scale well. If you don't want to split the XP between the alts you can have one die, release, and sit as a ghost in the grave yard far enough away from where you are killing mobs and all the XP will go to the alive alt.
Does this work anymore after today's downtime? cant seem to make it work anymore anyone else?
Edit: nvm was just one zone it didn't work in for some reason
I do all of SM graveyard in 1 pull, SM lib up until the monks that heal, and then all of Armory courtyard in 8 mins for about 10k XP using the lvl 60 warrior to pull everything and the mages help DPS down.
Very nice Scapes!
Is your current team 60 Warrior boosting 3 Mages + Shaman healer?
What level do you think you will leave SM?
Do you plan to take the full team to 60 with the 60 Warrior tanking the whole way?
Please report back your progress from time to time (maybe as you change dungeons) as it is nice to see someone boost all the way. This could be a good example of someone using a Tank to go all the way since a single 60 Mage seems to run into trouble as you get higher and higher and then some folk feel they have to drop the 60 Mage and 4 box with another player and/or get a different toon to finish the run to 60.
Does anyone know when it's beneficial to put a low level alt in your main exp group? I was leveling up a healer for my 5 box using a 60 warlock pet with druid buffs. It was very fast to about 25. Then i logged in my 45 shaman and tagged mobs that were 36+ with the healer.
It's been faster than normal for sure, but by no means blazing. At 35 I tried just letting 3 level 60's and a level 56 carry in ST, but the 35 was only getting like 60 exp per kill. I was hoping to get into dungeons asap because open world tap leveling is a major pain right now. I feel like there's been something talked about with killing mobs that aren't 10+ levels over you but I can't find anything detailing it.
He's 39 now, I'm probably going to grind out this level then test out ST again at 40 and see what the exp gains are. I'm sustaining 35k ish an hour right now depending on pvp, so ideally I'd be able to maintain those kind of exp gains.
Your mistake is going into dungeons that under leveled. You have basically a hard cap of how much XP per kill you will get based on level/group size. In ST you're killing fairly high level mobs. Your lowbie is leaving probably 50% of the potential XP on the table. Each level you gain in a place like ST, you're going to get more XP per kill, while the kill rate will remain relatively static. If you were in there at level 48, you'd probably be getting 100ish xp per kill, vs 60ish.
When getting boosted, the ideal setup is to always be basically the same level as the mobs, because that's the most efficient way for the high level to boost. Getting boosted in SM cathedral at level 38, is going to be a lot faster xp/hr than getting boosted at 33, because the kill speed is going to be roughly the same, but you're going to get a significantly larger chunk of XP per kill.
