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

[daviddoran]

I've been running my alts through Deadmines and SFK, and now they are around 21-22. I can easily do Scarlet Monestary with my holy pally, pretty large pulls, and my spell dmg kills most stuff before I get too worried. I also made a macro for all my alts that can heal to heal my main, and that helps a lot. But I'm wondering, would I be better off going to Gnomer first? (I'm Aliance BTW, so until the alts are 30 getting to SM is a long run...) I really never liked Gnomer tho, corpse runs suck a lot (but maybe not necessary with a 70 lol)

I also sometimes put it on Master Looter, then I only have the Greens to deal with. I want to level faster, and get gold at 70 when its ez mode (7x daily quests FTW!)

Should I just keep doing SM and only loot the bosses? Or am I gimping the XP Too much by being barely able to enter the instance? That was my plan but the stupid Library is bugged and some mobs don't keep attacking when I pull, and they run back, makes my AOE less effective, and I get some random dude wailing on my alts when I'm not expecting it. I've been doing Armory, which is pretty easy, and then I'll do Cath. Then my plan was to do ZF (just because I can pull while mounted...) until 45 and then do Strath (holy wrath > undead) until 58 then off to outland and regular 5 boxing. Is that a good idea? Or does anyone have any other thoughts?

Stay in SM till 40 and move onto ZF. Screw Gnomer, it's terrible for boosting. Also the library isn't bugged. Some zones the mobs will purposely reset if you run to far away just like outside of instances. Gnomer is actually one of these zones which is one of the bigger reasons why it sucks for boosting.

I've used two different paladins too boost. 1 with 11k hp and 950~ spell dmg and another with 8.3k hp and 300 spell dmg (green "of the sorcerer" gear) and tbh the surviablility of your paladin comes more from the talents and abilities rather than your gear. Using BoL and strafing, which most people don't , while gathering mobs makes up for alot of gear issues. Sure it's still much nicer to use my BT geared pally in comparison to my green geared pally but till you get past ZF it's not a huge difference. Gear does start to come heavily into play in BRD+

Come to think of it some people have said that RFK/RFD isn't too bad at this level you might try that. Or if you're not already in SM you could boost in Stocks till 26-27 since you're alliance.

Back in the days (before Burning Crusade) i used "Consecration (Rank 1)" while pulling mobs (all the time, when it wasn't on CD that is), not sure if it's still working tho :S

I guess I'm not the only one who hated gnomer... Thanks for the info on Library, I will try rank1 consecration to keep em angry at me. I actually have so much mana with all my +int gear I can probably just spam a higher rank. I'll experiment to find the ideal combo of dmg vs mana consumption.

I would go st at level 35

Yesterday i found this video http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=78555 , and after seeing it i went down there to test it and got 2 druids from 46-50 in no time

but this will prolly be fixed very soon

[pinotnoir]

So your saying once you hit lvl 35 got to sunken temple and do the trick in that video?

[Ruodhaid]

indeed 10 hrs will take you from 35-52

but dont forget meny shields or some repair bots spend 200g en repairs today from just that

[pinotnoir]

Can you give me some detailed information about how to do this? Does it just go on forever until you decide to kill the boss? Should I wear my prot gear or spell damage? Anything else you can help with would be appreciated.
