The Boosting and Power Leveling summary thread

[nodoze]

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).

At what point would it be exp efficent to replace a mage in my WMMMP group with a 60 warlock? Not for soloing the dungeon with the warlock but to simply speed some things up, just treat him as a dps helper. My group is currently level 25

This is what im trying doing with my 60 mage in the group. I use her to pl the best she can until the lowbies are high enough to contribute. I just ran to SM this morning and going to start in GY and see how i do.. i also have the pull with eye method i can try..but once the alts get in there 30s..they should be able to heal/dps some..after that.. the mage will just be a high level group member, and ill start playing the team as if she is just one of the DPS..her max level dps should help a lot


when the alts can damage lvl 48s.. ill try the AE tagging method someplace outdoors. i can use my whole 60 team to do that.. as these new alts are on separate accounts

I'd like som data wheter 1 60 in SM is better than a same level mage. Exp wise. Please share if you gather some, my team isnt ready for SM yet

That would assume you are leveling a 5man team with an extra mage being kept the same level as the team that is being swapped out/in.

Any calculations on XP should factor in that you are rotating out a 5th alt (if that matters to you) unless you really only wanted 4 alts leveled.

I also am interested in any metrics.

I updated the 'Levels' tab of the Classic WoW Planning spreadsheet with what a Level 60 should do to the average party level for every level from 15->60 and basically:

A level 60 with 4 level 30 alts make the party average level 36.
A level 60 with 4 level 35 alts make the party average level 40.
(breakouts for every level are in the link above)

It will be interesting to see any calculations.

That being said the ease/survivability should be a factor as well and not just the raw XP.

It would be interesting if one of the 5 hunter (or 4 hunter+healer) teams can try boosting 2+ low level alts out of group in the world via the tagging method with ONLY THE PETS killing the Tagged alts...

According to Approach 2B this should work for any 2 alts at ANY level for full XP per kill and could be the fastest way to level 2+ alts at the lowest levels. This could maybe help alot for any twink alts &/or passive crafting alts.
