My Experience with quad/5 boxing Shamans...

[Sina]

So, first i want to thanks everyone for the great reads, and inspiring me to begin my ultimate goal of being a competitor in the top 5v5 brackets.

I have been gladiator for 3 seasons straight in 2v2 running my druid with the ever so popular druid/warrior.

After 3 seasons of never finding a good 5v5 team, i have given up and taken it into my own hands of running a 4 sham/pally 5v5.

I started 6 days ago and i have 2 days played. currently my shamans are level 51. Here is what i did :

on my tier 6/season 3 warrior farming for my 4 shams:

i started out with questing to level 10-15

Wailing caverns

then SM cath runs ... ( took about 6 minuits from zone in to zone out ) till level 40

BRD till level 45

Now im doing LBRS... ( maybe i should be doing strat/scholo,... idk any suggestions )

im currently, like i said, level 51. ( lbrs is getting slow,... full clear gives me 3/4 of a level , takes about 1 1/2 hours )

... Again, i just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully will hear from all of you soon Suggestions are welcome



level 70 warrior IYQ ( akama )

level 51 shams:

Shamsina, siina, siinnaa, ssina

Were you well rested during most of your leveling? Your leveling seems really fast, grats on that.

I have 4 shaman team I'm leveling atm, 3 are 52, one is 67, and I believe I have close to 5 days played on each of the 52's.

I've tried doing instance farms but that has seemed quite a bit slower than just clearing out all quests in a zone and only doing instances for the quests.

I don't have a tier 6 warrior to farm the instances with though so my runs have been a tad bit slower than what you're posting as times.

no, i just kill fast with a geared warrior. Questing made my want to find a door to squeeze my head in and slam it. I have been busy with the last day of season 3 now im picking it back up and getting ready to push for 70.

how hard is hellfire i have never run that instance belive it or not. ( on normal)
think i can run it on my warrior and have my shamans healing

go scholo, park your shaman on the bridge , leave them there while you clear the first 3 rooms, reset, repeat, get 55, try ramparts, if it sucks, go back to scholo till 58. Jobs a good'un

So i have been farming with my warrior in pvp spec ( arms/fury hybrid ) MS

i decided to give my pve spec a try for the first time........ oh my....... its nice.

i went from doing 1 1/2 hour clears through lbrs to 45 min clears( granted i stopped looting because of the speed increase to get to higher rated items to de asap )

im going to try scholo this afternoon. i did 1 level last night before raid time.

level 52

I have a couple of questions about scholo.
I only been to scholo once (to get my lock mount), but we got lost. Could you mark the 3 rooms? Isn't there a pat that goes up the stairs that is next to the bridge, just worried that my team will agro when my rogue is off killing. On the bridge will the get xp from across the other end of the room or should i pull them back? I should be 45 real soon, should i start right at 45 or should i wait a little?
