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

[nomenquis]

What level range can the boostees be before they start killing each other's xp? eg would lowbies ranging from level 40 to 50 cause eachother to lose out on xp? would it be better to catch up the lower one before bringing in the higher level one?

I finally got my prot pally to 70 yesturday night so cant wait to get home and give Zolo another shot (last time I tried it I was 62...didnt last long).

I'm on my second boost in here. And from my observations it does not matter what level the other chars are, as long as the mobs are NOT grey to them.
I get more xp on my 37 schami if i have a 45 and a 41 with me than without them.

However, if you're only interested in boosting one character then by all means take characters a lot lower than this char with you. I'm reaching even higher xp/hr (270k and more) on my 45 hunter than I did with my 4 other chars (all in the same level range).

http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Mob_XP seems to explain it well.

edit:
something is odd: As soon as the hunter reached 49 he actually seems to be 'stealing' ep from my 40 shaman



kind regards

You guys do know you can do ramparts at 55 right? from 55-60 took me no time at all. specced my palidan ret and went to town... i skipped the very last boss since my shamans didnt have the spell dmg to help kill. but enough to keep my palidan alive...

I used to do this with my warrior, but I have since moved him off my account. How geared is your ret paladin ??? Don't you find that he has a lot of down time?

tip:

if you stand in the corner like in Trashbag picture.. but slight forward so that Zolo is left and BACK.. behind you slightly.. I found that he wasn't getting damaged at all. I was able to stay there untill I was all red and it was time to repair; he was still almost full health.

I'll be running BRD and going to the room with all the Mobs that are on a 30 sec timer, A 70 mage or maybe even a lock could kill them faster than a Pally or Warrior I think. The Magma Totem or Fire Nova Totem of a 70 shammy Should be able to kill the backs no problem. Maybe even a Priest with lolnova. Or a Hunter with a Fire Trap. At 61 my Pally gets around 30-40 xp. I'll check and see what my Lowbies get a 55.

The problem with non-Paladin AoE is the damage cap... Consecrate does not have one, but most (every?) other AoE does...

I think thats only true with ranks 4 and above. Rank 3 and below of concecrate have the cap.

No rank of Consecrate is damage capped... or it is capped so high that it's unreachable. I do the same per tick with rank 1 or rank 6, no matter if I am attacking a single mob or the entire SM Armory.

Tried the Lycaeum in BRD with my 70 mage and 2 level 49-50 shamies.. well, after a bloody long run to egt in there, and a few deaths to get the lava jumps well, and a fair clear to even get to the lava, i found out that i got 19xp per kill on those non-elite, fast-respawn Anvilraeg reservists.
There's a efw there, but 19xp ust doesnt cut against the 70xp from zolo's skellies.
Imho, BRD Lycaeum not worth it.

Yeah, with my paladin I was pulling 250xp/hr w/ 35% block during the low levels, checked at 57 and it was down to 140xp/hr. Stuck with it at 150-140k xp due to someone saying baron was a lowly 90k /hr.

Priest is on 20hrs played, shaman is on 23hrs.

At the moment trying to figure the best way to get to 60 under a day and without cheating and questing outlands out.

If you can find a nicely geared level 70 MS Warrior, running through BF can net you around 150k/k

Your alts can both heal so downtime would be minimal and the shammy can provide windfury A plus side to this is you can hit honored with Thrallamar before doing any quests which means getting revered for the healing/mp5 helm enchant will be cake. You shouldn't even have to do 1 run of Shattered Halls.
