The Boosting and Power Leveling summary thread

[method98]

The following is a Tank Paladin solo pulling pretty much an entire instance with self-healing and AoE'ing everything down:

That should be a lot of XP for 4 alts.

I'd love to see a warlock boosting 4 alts, I tried with mine in SFK but just died over and over. Even tho my warlock is fully pre bissed with bis raid gear. Hellfire plus a bunch of auto attacks just kills me.

Are you a soul-linked Lock with all the Tanky talents? Have you tried to round them up with your void? Have you tried Rain of Fire @player ?

No, I´m too broke to be respeccing so I decided to stay in raid spec. Figured since SFK is such a low level dungeons id be able to tear through it whatever I ran purley with raid of fire

I think above you indicated you were using hellfire and I was recommending trying rain of fire instead.

Without specing tanky soulink your best bet would be to try to gather a bunch around your voidwalker, let the voidwalker build some aggro, and then Rain of Fire around the Void.

Not sure that is viable but I would think it is your best shot if you don't run a different spec.

well, this could get ugly

If nothing is done i dont see why we cant make this a better streamlined method to boost. I thought this method was bannable, but i'm not very thorough on the subject of tagging. Pretty sure Athene got banned/reset for this method, but that was long ago and this is also classic. He is level 43 and a level 48 elite troll gave him 612 exp. Seems the sweet spot is level +5. I dont even.

I think it is only bannable if you are in an instance and dropping group/raid and abusing the 1 minute teleport to tag with group but kill out of group...

This is exactly Approach 2A in the post above which denotes level 48+ mobs are when the big XP kicks in. A boxer could do this with the mob to be boosted tagging out of group and the level 60 group following and killing & keeping the boosted character healed. Even faster would be a 60 gathering up a ton of them and self healing tanking until the boosted character tags all at once and and then the 60s AoEs them down (I think someone said they were getting 400K XP/hour doing this).

Interesting video on power leveling (though a lot of it is kinda filler and thus it could be significantly shorter):

[It makes the] Assertion that XP is based on the average level of the party with no deduction based on having 1 level 60 in the party hitting gray mobs.

It denotes the following as the top ranked single level 60 classes to carry 4 low level alts are:
Mage
Paladin
Warrior

[Maybe also] a level 60 Warlock with hell fire or rain of fire & eye of killrog ... [likely boosting 4 alts that include a Paladin with Concentration Aura would help]...

As discussed in a different thread this average level calculation should be really useful for Power Leveling 4 alts. I would think a level 60 Paladin Tank AoEing (or a Mage) in the Stockades and Scarlet Monastery would be really good XP.

Frankly it is almost like the developers specifically lowered the minimum level for entry into some Dungeons to allow 4 low level alts to group with a single Level 60 Power Leveler as the 5th team member for a decent overall level for good XP...

For example, according to the Minimum Levels for entry on the Levels Tab of the 'Classic WoW Planning' Spreadsheet you could take your 4 low level alts with a level 60 as early as follows:

- Stockades: Take 4 Level 15s with a level 60 Power Leveler = Average Level 24 (should be great XP);
- Monastery: Take 4 Level 21s with a level 60 Power Leveler = Average Level 29 (should be great XP);

Is anyone using a mage to PL.. mine takes a ton of damage when i try and pull too many. I have her speced with the best defensive talents i can..using ice armor and best stam+int items i can get atm ( of the eagle etc. ) She does have some nice dungon items. I also use protection potions..have best stam enchants etc. I do have her speced for mostly arcane and fire aoe. should i be doing a freeze/shatter/blizzard method?

What level is your Mage and what dungeon are you trying to power level in where you are having problems?

The kiting via freeze/shatter/blizzard method is the way most non-boxer single Mages get lots of XP (it was how JokerXD was the fastest to reach cap as well).

My mage is 60 ( i know you have seen my many other posts about my first team lol ) I am PLing a paly..lock, priest and mage. And im in stockades atm. I see people talking about pulling the whole instance ( stockades for example ) and there is now way i could do that. I pull about 10-15 at once and have to kill them fast or ill die. And based on what i have seen so far ( deadmines and stockades ) im worried how efficient it will be to PL in higher dungeons like SM. My alts are all 22 now.
