Using totems or pet to boost lowbies

[Tengu]

If you have a lvl 80 shaman and want to boost a friend you might know that totems gives lowbies the full effect. +155 str/agi from the Strength of Earth Totem is quite impressive for a lvl 10.

But the drawback is that the experience gain is so low when the shaman is around that it's not worth it. Well, there's a solution to that.

1. Get your Shaman and the lowbie grouped up.
2. Put down your totems near a group of mobs.
3. Pull the shaman back so that he's just barely in range of the totems before they despawn, but make sure you're out of range for the mobs you want the lowbie to kill.
4. The lowbie now has full effect from the totems, and if positioned properly the shaman will be out of range of the fighting, so the exp gain will still be full.


You can use the same thing with Eyes of the Beast as a hunter. Make sure the hunter is out of range of the fighting. Use Eyes of the Beast to run your pet to the lowbie. Have the lowbie hit the mob once and then one-shot the mobs with the pet and the lowbie will get full experience.

zomg common sense?

How the hell is the shaman one common sense?

And to the one above who screamed repost, you just said warlock/dk pet. Is the shaman's totems a repost..?

Nice, I didn't know about it.

I didn't realise/know about the totem thing, the hunter one is old, +rep

[addehej]

Does this still work? I know that it have works for hunters but when i tried this last time was it removed :|

but it maybe work now

[Tengu]

Addehej, Me and my gf used both tricks last night helping an old mate of ours.

Rohi, I do believe the hunter one might be a repost, but I couldn't find it when searching for it so I figured I might as well throw it in there just to be safe. But it's also why I chose to elaborate more on the shaman thing.

Lukas, I never knew you could do it with a warlock, how would that work? Warlocks can't control their pets like hunters can with EotB, can they? And it would be hard making your demon attack something that's out of range for you to see.

[addehej]

ahh okey but i know for sure i try to pet boost befor wotlk without any posetive results.

Well i didn't say it can work now it has been many patches since i try it last time

Isn't the hunter one classed as mob tagging? If so then it's bannable.

this is gonna be fun to use, might try two boxing with the totem exploit, tee hee, imagine a rogue with totems up all the time.
