The Boosting and Power Leveling summary thread

[nodoze]

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.

Sorry I honestly have a heard time keeping everyone's teams straight. It is easier for me with folks like Quidling or Brue Lee as I have seen their teams in action. I am looking forward to power leveling with a level 60 Paladin which should be great/ideal till the higher levels. People say Mages are easier/better but I like the Paladin way more (I used to AoE grind on my Paladin in Vanilla->BC->WotLK).

Most of the leveling with 4-5 Mage teams is just gather mobs and spam AE with the mobs all around you and that likely isn't how a 60 should be doing it...

If I were doing it as a Solo 60 Mage I would spec Frost with all the armor/buffs and I would do it like JokerD did when he went to 60 by himself. Basically no face tanking and you Blizzard/freeze all the mobs and you keep at range moving at full/regular speed while they are slowed and blink if/as necessary to stay ahead.

My first team.. War..priest and 3 mages, I did it like you would expect..gather and AE until all dead. sometimes add in holy nova with priest. But my solo mage does take a lot of damage when power leveling my lowbies..even in DM i cant just pull everything . i have to limit my pulls. Now as my priest gets high enough to be able to shield and heal my 60 mage, it should get easier. In DM and Stockades, when my alts got high enough to damage the mobs.. they made it easier, i would just run through the instance with them in tow. i spam AE rank1 on the 60 mage to gather mobs up and when my 60 mage starts taking damage..i spam max rank on 60 and the low level mage spams its AE and things die faster.

Its when i switch to SM that i think it might be slow and painful..unless i learn how to do it the frost way,,keeping the mobs at bay. But if the lower level dungon mobs do that kind of damage to my 60 mage.. it will just get worse in higher level dungons doing it the AE way.

I was just wondering if anyone on here is using a 60 mage to PL now and have some advice. I am looking forward to having a 60 paladin to PL new teams in the future though! Based on that video.

I am using a 60 mage to boost 3 other mages and a priest. The 60 mage is rather newly dinged and the gear is so-so. Currently elemental spec and boosting in SM GY/Lib. I am not overly impressed to be honest and I have the same experience in that the mage is squishy af. Frost nova on round-robbin is helping though. I find that the most annoying part is gathering the mobs together, seeing that as soon as ice barrier drops off it gets rather risky.

All in all, it's luke warm and I had hopes that it would go faster. Current xp is somewhere around 25-30 k/hour.
