[WoW] AOE Paladin Boosting, when to move on to next instance?

[dRiN]

Has anybody tried this with a warrior? Technically the process sounds like it should be very similar. Attach shield spike, let them pound on you in defensive stance, swap gear as it becomes broken, etc. The problem is just deciding how to keep him healed. The only healer in the group would be a priest. Would renewing him periodicly eventually draw aggro from Zolo?

By using many Demo Shouts and low rank renews I don't think your healer would pull aggro from Zolo. Maybe the spawning skellies that resisted a hit / demo shout might turn on the healer. The only bad part about the healer healing is that it would go into combat, and that means you can't reset without getting that toon killed. The best part about pallies and druid (with good support from the alts around the corner) is that they can heal themselves.

I did read on EJ in a thread about twinking alts / powerleveling that a fury warrior could kill the endless stream of skellies from a little distance. But I would not know how to keep solo at a distance, and keep the totemspawns heading for the warrior. Maybe someone on this forum has an answer for you to work with.

I had a problem with tagging the skellies as a druid. So my XP per hour was somewhat low. Now I dont use thorns/ retri aura from the alts (since I did not find them helping on the tag), and I have tried the electrofood (stormchops) but Zolo went down too quick. In my new tactics I pull zolo and wait till some of the adds have spawned. I then I strave to the right (I pull at a left position against the wall furthest away from the centerroom) That way I have Zolo on my left, and change my camera a bit to the right where the skellies start to mount up. That way I can start to swipe without killing Zolo. I can keep going for half an hour for my gear starts to go dead. I avg about 100K - 120K xp per hour.

Any other known lowdmg way to tag the skellies? I would like to get the 200K xp per hour : )

Hello everybody, I have just found additional exploit/bug for lvling in ST. You need to climp to the wall (Candle is near it). When you need Zolo's hp to be restored, just jump and use concentration, it will evade for a while. Also you can jump to a wall near candle.(I am boosting shamans with paladin).
You'll need ~6 shields. and few hundreds of gold =) you don't have to reset instance or jump down from the circle anymore.

P.s. I am sorry for my crappy English.

Sounds just like wording to me. Evading hmi by jumping off the ledge or jumping to where he can't get seems the same to me /shrug.

Tested baron, and after fine-tuning the process this works very well for me. Things to remember:

• If you clear with a level 70 team, remember to kick them out when you start farming Baron skeletons. I was unhappy with the 36 exp per skeleton till I remembered my 3 level 70 shamans standing around gimping my exp. Then it went up to 87 per kill.
• Shadow resist aura seems to be more useful for me than Devotion.
• Use MAX rank Blessing of Sanctuary. It doesn't matter if you kill skeletons (you usually won't) and Baron gets healed to full every wave of skeletons. Max rank BoS mitigates a ton of damage.
• Buy a fast weapon, regardless of damage or other stats. I recommend loading up on several http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2490 or if you want to splurge, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30749. Your weapon will take damage, which is different from the Zolo exercise in most cases.

Skinning Knife for the win -- it's faster than either of those AND! it has no durability.
Toss a Lifestealing on it and go to town - since it doesn't bind and has no weapon type you can use it on all your level 1's (but you can't use most special attacks). http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7005

Another (best??) option if you have money to burn is Inuuro's Blade (SSO Revered 1H tank sword) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34672
It is 1.4 speed so maximizes your SoL/JoL I guess (fastest speed for a Paladin-useable weapon, AFAIK). Not terribly expensive, and it's not unique so you can buy extras, its something around 35g with the reputation discount.

Do you have any stats on the EXP/Hour of the Baron thing? Do they spawn fast enough to warrant trying this?

I got a full level from 57-58 in about an hour and a half. It's definitely not the best choice for speed levelling, however if you want to level while you're talking to friends on the phone, or watching a movie on a second monitor, it works pretty well. Added bonus: You don't deal with the sheer amount of hits that you do with Zolo, so your armor breaks a good deal slower. One shield break in an hour vs one shield break every 8 minutes. I used my epic shields cause the repair cost ended up being about one and a half epic shields and a quarter of my armor. Not exactly breaking the bank.

Figurine of the Colossus, rank 1 Blessing of Sanctuary, and a whole bag of the cheapest shields you can buy from a vendor. Is all you need.

Also recommend a nice long book, something like *glances at bookshelf* War & Peace? Atlas Shrugged? Those look pretty thick.

Not at all. Jumping off of the shelf is a normal situation. Exploiting a clipping bug in the wall geometry is not. :P

As far as I know, it's not possible to have the alts help with anything but passive abilities that don't cause aggro. New skeletons spawn very fast and will pick random targets with any aggro whatsoever. If your alts so much as buff themselves during the process they will get aggro from at least a few skeletons.
