How to single pull instances w/ Paladin for PLing

[tomit12]

I've been using RAF (who hasn't??) to level up alts by instance running them with my Paladin. I level them to 10, then just run them through Shadowfang Keep from 10 - 25, and SM from 25 - 42ish.

Anyway, when I get bored I make bad videos, so I figured I'd share with everyone how I do pulls in these instances in order to maximize xp/hr by pulling every mob in the instance in a single pull.

The Paladin I'm using isn't equipped that great. He's still got blues and greens, except for his armor pieces which are all from Season 1 (I'm too lazy to go get season 2).

I'll start off with a video of the Cathedral instance in Scarlet Monastery:

Yes, I'm screwy with music. If you don't believe the video is mine, go to YouTube and look at the name of the poster.

The total pull takes about 5 minutes, then I head over to armory, then reset and repeat.

I throw Blessing of Sanctuary on myself, as well as Ret Aura at the start. After I aggro the mobs, I just keep Seal of Light on myself and target and hit mobs as I run by them; this helps keep your health up. The reason for the second waterfall drop off is to put some distance between me and them; they come down one set of stairs while I'm going up the other.

Finally, once I'm back to the main hallway, I throw up Seal of Wisdom, and jump into one of the windows to line of sight all the mobs to me. I also switch to using a Skullflame Shield (Skullflame Shield - Item - World of Warcraft) which, while handy, is not necessary; if you don't have one, just keep up Seal of Light instead of Wisdom. I occasionally jump out of the window sill because as much damage isn't being done to the mobs that are behind the wall to the right, so I make sure everything is grouped up, then I jump out, then when they all start running I jump back in the window, wait for them to all come back, and repeat.

I hope that has all been clear. I described it in the order that I'm doing it in the video, so if you aren't understanding a part just watch the video, you'll see what I mean.

I will also post videos of how I do SM Armory and Shadowfang Keep if there is any interest!

i'm kinda new to pallies, but i was wondering what keeps you from getting pwned by the mobs? cause i tried this on my brother's pally and when i tried to heal, all my spells sent on CD and i got Fed in the A....

Amazing..... I can't imagine doing this on any other class.

I don't need to heal. The most important thing is making sure that absolutely all the mobs are in front of you...if they surround you, you aren't dodging, blocking, etc.

If you do need to heal, hit your bubble, they can't interrupt through it. Just make sure that the alts are far enough away that they don't get in combat.

Also, it helps things go faster if you have a decent amount of spell damage. I have about 500, which is actually pathetically easy to get. Pick up Seeker's Gavel - Item - World of Warcraft and throw the spell damage enchant on it and you've got about 200 just on one item. You can also use Shattered Sun Pendant of Acumen - Item - World of Warcraft and Sunward Crest - Item - World of Warcraft as well. All of that is SSO stuff which is ridiculously easy to get rep for.

I liked the movie, what spec did you use?
+rep as well.

Very nice!

Video guides are the best because you can see how to do thing other than just somebody typing it out. +rep I will be doing this more often.
