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

[daviddoran]

I have been working on other teams most recently, but plan on getting back to ST soon. A few more lvls to go and I will be above xp level, and plan on going to Stratholme until I can get to outland. I plan on farming stuff to sell, as well as using any gear that drops, because I'm gonna have 4 toons at lvl 50 in SM gear lol (unless I can solo tank most of the stuff in Strath fairly well)

Should I buy a port to shatt at 55 and run straight to Hellfire Ramparts? Could my 70 tankadin with 10khp and mostly healing gear hold up with 4x 55s? or am I better waiting until they are 60? I want to run them as a 5 boxing holy trinity group, so the earliest I can start practicing, the better, but I don't want to have to deal with under level/undergeared healer/dps. I've only done outland stuff solo, as the healer (boringmode) And all the tips in the wiki are for equal level groups at around 61-63. I want to level almost exclusively in instances, and just do quests if they have good rewards. My ultimate goal is to do heroics, (and possibly half of a kara team) so I want as much experience doing that as possible.

First time around with my alliance team (70 pally 4x 58 shamans) I worked Hellfire ramparts over pretty hard right off the bat. By the time I was done with that team at level 61 I was simply destroying the place. My plans this time around are pretty much the same. Zolo to 56, Strat to 58, Quest for a few of the really good pieces of gear right off the bat, Ramparts after the quest upgrades.

So, I have been reading this thread and am really interested in doing the Zolo trick up to level 50, although I will break at 49 and dome some BG's. But my big question is, since most of you are level 70, I am wondering how well a level 66 paladin would be able to get the job done. Sine my Shamans are nearly level 35, and I could do this soon. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...oon&n=Pangiota thats my armory link just to see if anyone would be able to tell me if I would be able to do this easy xp trick. Also, is Zolo randomly spawned at any location in ST? or is it a static spawn always in the same spot. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

He can spawn at any of the "C"s but you'd want to try and make him spawn on the bottom C's (ones with red circles). Just go in with sense undead on and walk alittle ways into the corridors and you should be able to see if he has spawned in one of those spots. If not, you can reset but be careful not to get locked out.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of doing Zolo with a L66 Paladin, but I speculate that you will have trouble with it. To maximize your chance for success, find as much block rating gear as you can, then defense rating, then stamina. L50 mobs are going to miss you very often already, so it may work fine, but you'll want to get hit as seldom as possible, and be able to heal without interruption.

If I were in your position I would try a build such as this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVxZE0tcxczM0VbV0x (10/37/10)

Use Devotion Aura until you need a heal, switch to concentration for a Holy Light and then swap back to Devotion. Figure out how much health you lose each time you cast Holy Light, and then let yourself get down to that amount of health + 500 health or so. Try to stay under 35% health if you can, as you'll take less damage. You will probably have to use seal of wisdom to keep your mana up for heals, so create a macro to target one of the skeletons and start attack, as that will allow you to keep hitting as much as possible while minimizing your damage to Zolo.

You could park your team and let them max out rested bonus and level your pally to 70. Then boost them like crazy.

Ya, I am thinking that is the way to go, my Paladin right now is basically 150% rested, I might go run some outland instances and what not, and hopefully then I can get some better gear. I was trying what TDog told me, but after the second wave of healing it was just no dice for my poor paladin. It wasn't fun watching her go down so quick, so I think I will be going in and really hitting quests in Nagrand hard and hopefully I can level up rather quickly. Thanks for the help!

Isnt this upside down ?, he should be spawning at 11 and 1 oclock.

[ChaoticMonk]

That is 11 & 1 oclock...just upside down it looks more like it does on the minimap that way (at least on mine).

Today I've been boosting 4 locks, the idea being that I could use them for farming motes and such with affliction spec (MORE DOTS!!!)

Anyhow I was running them through SFK, and Wolf Master Nandos reminded me of this thread (he summons a couple of different worg adds constantly while engaged). As I type this I'm backed up to a wall with my only reflective damage coming from rank 1 BoS. Looks like he'll stay alive for about 10-15 mins. Of course anyone who knows SFK will realise this is not going to be anywhere near as effective as the troll mini-boss, due to not being as quick to reset and having to clear much further to get there. But its quite good if for some reason people want to alt-tab out and do something else whilst boosting in SFK.

*edit* I just found out that if you park your lowbies around about the door which is unlocked by the npc which you need to release then they will receive exp from right up in Fenrus' room. I havent tested how much further this goes, as I only intended to kill ferus and open the gate to get the whole instance in 1 go.
