ST leveling Exploit with stream Video

[dmb-]

About doing this as a Restoration shaman:

I borrowed my friends shaman and went into Sunken Temple with a friend who played on my toon(mage), his toon(mage) and another friends toon(priest). So in total we were 3 lowbies getting nice exp.

NOTE: We didn't pull the other Boss who is supposed to heal Zolo


First tactic:

- So this shaman has quite nice gear, everything I had to do was to renew that Earth Shield on myself and be ready to heal if necessery.

- One of the lowbies was priest, so we respecced him to Holy Nova (AoE damage without making threat). He was tapping all the targets while the Shaman was tanking them.

- Only problem we had was that Holy Nova only taps 5 targets.

3/5 exploit points - didn't receive enough experience.

Second tactic:

- Still tanking on shaman with renewing Earth Shield. I tested with red gear - 1000 healing 5.6k hp 6.6k mana - and it turned out to be a little alot harder but still doable if you keep killing a totem, putting up a stoneclaw etc.

- Have a mage casting Frost Nova rank 1 every 21 seconds (specced cooldown) to tap (Those who gets hit gets frozen, and the ones who didn't get hit/resisted wont go to you + that you see who got hit and who didn't). When the skeletons spawn they tend to attack any nearby lowbie. So if the mage stand as far from the totems as possible, he shouldn't receive any blows from the skeletons.

5/5 exploit points - Frost Nova rank 1 makes it a reliable exploit + that you don't need an uber geared Shaman for this.

NOTE: Zolo spawns his totems infront of him to the left.

The only problem we had was getting past the trash to Zolo :<

I'm writing this as I am tanking the mobs alt+tabbing to put on a new Earth Shield and thinking of ways to progress in speed/slack.

Progress: The Mage does one spell (Frost Nova rank 1) and the Shaman puts up totems, earth shields and maybe throw a heal from time to time, right? My point is that you could easily make Macros for both the Mage and the Shaman.

Will probably upload a high quality video for you after I've had some sleep.

As my mom told me when I was a child: "leveling without touching the keyboard is the best way of leveling."

Hey: please tell me if you find this helpful or if you got any questions.

Holy crap thats awesome

I'd like to chime in with what dmb said.

Shaman + Mage + X others, mage being boosted, works wonders, and no need for the healing boss (Mijan).
We could set up a macro each where the mage stood a few yards away from the skeletons (but close enough to hit everyone with frost nova, and god, frostnova rules for this!) and spammed frost nova every 21 seconds and the shaman only refreshes earth shield on himself (and totems + low rank chain heals if you want to aswell).

One thing we noticed were that if the mage stays out of line of sight and does not engage combat for 30 sec or so, the skeletons that spawns from the totems will go for the shaman upon spawn instead of "random lowbie target in range", which is required if you are to set up a macro like we did.

I sure as he** hope this wont be patched tomorrow as i finally got my paladin up and ready. Can't wait to try this ^^

I just did it with a crappy geared pala, worked perfect! as lvl 39 i was getting 70 000 xp/h unrested.

Works perfect on my resto shaman, not the best gear, something like 1300+heal and 9k hp (mostly pvp blues or so) + 0/20/41 spec (with imp stoneskin and stuff ofc).

All you need is to have stoneskin + healing stream totem(heals 100hp per 2 secs) + wrath of air totem, refresh earthshield. Make sure your back is against the wall and it'll be fine aslong as you're using some cheap shield (cheaper to repair) with a shield spike on, Iron Shield Spike - Item - World of Warcraft works great and is cheap. No need for lowbies to attack the skeletons, they can stay out of combat and get bucket loads of XP.

When I ran out of duribility I just died, either used ankh or soulstone, Astral recall to repair and got a summon back (had a lock friend in party) and repeated. Got a friend from level 42 - 50 in 1 day, pretty sick.

nice one m8

[sethattack29]

haha nice may be a repost but +rep!

[sethattack29]

Nice ... +rep +rep ! Not!

[errant1]

Been doing this for 2 days now boosting multiple characters all the way up to 56.

Did the Repair Bots at the entrance setup, this is easily the best thing to happen to leveling since China.

Would be ace.

Here is what i was doing with my paladin and alts that i was leveling. This works really well if you have a class that can heal or even a targetable AE.

1. Once you zone in hang a left and clear the dragonkin up to where Zolo is.

2. Move the character to under one of the outter ledges that zolo is on.

3. Run up and grab zolo with your paly and move to one of the outter corners so that you are in los of the character below that you are PL'ing and so that the skeletons can't get behind you.

4. If you have Omen set it for AE mode use rank 1 concecrate and all the spawns will appear in omen that you have tagged. Wait till it get's down to 1 or two skeletons then concecrate again. This will minimize the amount of damage you do to zolo and will make sure you tag everything.

5. Now during all of this if you have a healer you can use them to heal from down below saving mana on your paly since they can't be hit and also if any new skeletons spawn they will evade bug and just stand there till you drop a new concecrate which lowers the amount of damage your paly is taking.

6. Ok now for the fun part once zolo get's down to under 10% have your paly bubble then have one of your characters below either heal the paladin or AE to pull aggro on zolo he will bug out then reset after about 5 seconds and regain all his health/mana then use rank 1 Exorcism to pull him back to you and start all over.

With the method above i pretty much stayed up there through 6 shields before my armor starting breaking and i would do 1 last concecrate take 1 step back and drop to where my alts were then repaired and repeated. The dragonkin do not respawn so you don't have to ever worry about them.

** one more thing it's even easier if you run up to the first spawn point either left or right side and see if zolo is there if not run out and reset till he is this will minimize the amount of dragonkin you will have to clear to 2 packs and makes running back to zolo easy since you just have to avoid 2 static spawns and 1 roamer. **

I have never heard of this.
Can someone confirm/explain the mechanics of this? - It seems highly unlikely to me that a mob would bug out because it's main target bubbles and a lowlevel heals or AE's.

Lol that is the coolest thing ive seen in a while

Basically when you paly bubble the mobs move to the next person on there threat list which would be my alt's which cause him to evade bug since there is no path down to them which causes him to go in to evade mode then resets.

I did this leveling my shaman and my friends druid from level 36 - 52 exp started to slow and it was mind numbing but a great way to knock out 16 levels fairly quick.
