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

[Narezza]

Thanks to this great post, I was able to successfully try Zolo out with a pally, and of course, I was blown away by it.

I have some questions though. Can anyone guesstimate the recommended armor/block/defense values? I'm using a formerly holy Pally that I switched to prot for this exercise. The gear is either T4/T5 holy gear, and/or some pre-kara/heroic prot gear. I'm running about 10k health, 13k armor, 400def, and a block % around 12%. Its working, but because of the mix of epic holy and rare prot items, I can really have values all over the place. What are some common numbers you guys are having success with?

Also, Im burning through the white shields every 15-20 minutes, but Im seeing a lot of damage on my regular gear also. Perhaps once every 1.5-2 hours, I have to go repair due to being fully broken. Is this a positioning issue, or is that normal?

Thank again!

I have a friend with a lvl 70 Feral geard Druid that is willing to help boost me from 35-50+ in Sunken. Is it possible to do Zolo with a feral druid?

There are a number of posts in this thread where people have tried a druid.

Some say it's doable, others saying it didn't go quite so well.

It may depend on your friends gear. If you are boosting shaman you can drop some healing stream totems that will help your druid.

if you enter "zolo druid" in the search box on the top right, it mostly lists the threads mentioning the method and success/failure.

I did it, and posted about it in this thread.

• You can only tag through swipe in an effective manner.
• You will only reach 120K xp per hour (because of all untagged mobs despawning).
• Have to learn how to move so you dont swipe up on zolo. I pulled. Waited for alot of spawn then straved rightish untill all mobs and totems where on the left, and started click targetting swiping away.
• If you have crappy gear, use all your cooldowns and respec in such a way that you have a mana efficient shapeshifting healing build.
• Use all the abilities the alts can give you without getting in combat. (I specced my shammies imp healing imp stoneskin and gave em some +healing greens).
• Get fully buffed on elixirs and food, get the elixir that mitigates 20 dmg from a hit (after I found that one it was alot easier).
• Swap to kitty on reset and falling down the platform.
• And ofcourse all normal rules posted in this thread apply.

Earthen elixir.

It might be impossible, but, I'm hoping to do this:

Stockades -> L24, 2 hours ?
Scarlet Monastary -> L35, 4 hours ?
Sunken Temple -> L58... 10 hours ?
Underbog -> L60, 1-2 hours ?

So, these numbers are pretty close to correct. 4 new alts are sitting at L33 with 11H played, started 6H30M played at L18 (didn't keep close track of that. Stockades took a little longer and SM is going a little faster. I should be L35 within 30 minutes once I can actually zone back in (damn instance limit!).
Warlock and 2 alts are sitting at Sunken Temple instance portal already, I"ll just have to repair and fill my inventory with gray shields .

I'll do Zolo from 35->55, hoping it's <8 hours. Then off to Underbog for the final push to 60... very optimistic that I can get in under 1 day /played yet!

Ahh thanks. Better give it a try later then, only at lvl 25 atm so a bit further to go
About the Thorns not tagging, i saw that someone used the Naglering from tagging the mobs, that might be usefull and then there is no need for swipe?

Maybe the naglering works, I don't have experience with it : )

The nice thing about swiping alot is a high chance for getting Imp Leader of the Pack to proc. I used to mangle when it is up (+65 agi trinket proc on mangle), keep maul up on every swing (if rage allows) and swipe when mangle is on CD. The more hits you make the more healing you will get.

ohw and I also took mana pots for the shapeshifting healing mana stuff. I could keep my druid up with 6 items in red So gear is not the issue if you use all buffs / cd's to the max. (4 shammies with totems though).

pull Mijan to zolo and then its endless cause mijan heals all bosses around him when he gets 40% and that will keep zolo up and he will endless spawn the undead

Wow, is that the Mijan technique that I keep skimming over? That's crazy. Now you just need to keep a couple bags of cheap shields and stay in there forever. Awesome.
