I was wanting to level 10 chars at the same time. But Without group xp buff(because I would be in a raid instead of a party) and not being able to complete quests while in a raid, what would be the best way to go about this? Instead of keeping them in a raid group i could keep them in 2 parties and do quests the longer slower way that way(basically doing all quests twice). You can be in a raid group in lower level dungeons i believe but is this worth it at all? Just wondering if this is doable or if one should just level up the first 5 man then the second after they are all max level?

My goal is to pvp as a bunch of mages. 9 preferably(because i would have one priest just for pve). So I'm looking at 9 mages doing it the harder way leveling vs MMMP if i go the much easier route but in PVP how much more oomph is 9 mages vs 4? 1 arcane explosion broadcast vs 2/3? Just trying to decide here what would be the best path to a bunch of mages killing everyone.
