[Powerleveling] SM Cath with a 70 rogue, video inside

[Doomerang]

This guide and video will show you how to powerlevel an alt with a 70 rogue in Scarlet Monastery Cathedral.
This is NOT faster than leveling with a paladin or a mage. This is a guide for those of us who only have a 70 rogue to work with. You will not beat a paladin or mage at this, but you WILL beat regular questing.

I highly recommend you read my previous guide found here: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...eo-inside.html.
It contains an extremely helpful macro and more in-depth information about my character and things to keep in mind.


What you'll need:

2 accounts and a computer capable of 2-boxing them.
A 70 rogue and an alt between the levels of 10-25.


You can get anywhere between 30k-45k unrested an hour depending on your level.


Things to remember:

Pop sprint and evasion where my video tells you and only where my video tells you. Use any other cooldowns as you see fit. Ghostly Strike really shines here.
Place your alt exactly where I place mine.
In the video, the only buffs I'm using are my DPS trinket and Mongoose procs (and rank 2 Devotion Aura :P). If you're having trouble, bring scrolls, flasks or elixirs, use poisons or sharpening stones, drink health pots and try again.

If you prefer not to let the runners do their thing and just mop up the leftovers afterward, you can equip both your weapons with crippling poison.



As soon as my guinea pig is level 35, I'll do research on the best place to move on to.




A few added tips:

If you are an engineer, bring as many Adamantite Grenades as you can. This is a perfect time to use them because the mobs will always be in close proximity around you. The 3 second incapacitate time will help a reduce the damage you're taking by a little.

If you'd like to make gold doing this, advertise! When you're in a capitol city preparing for your runs (buying food and potions, repairing, etc.), post in trade chat that you're selling spots for runs through SM Cath. You're going to be there anyway and this is one way to make the most of it.

You can charge by the run or by the hour. Just be sure you make it absolutely clear that lower characters do not heal you or generate any sort of aggro while you're in combat and that they stay back until you tell them to move up. Make a macro with a few rules that you can post in party chat and be sure to include that if someone breaks these rules, you aren't responsible for their death. Also make it a point that they'll be wasting their time, your time and the rest of the party's time.

Good luck!

I was on and offline for a few days recording a song I wrote, dedicated to my grandmother who is fighting a losing battle against lung cancer. If you'd like to hear you can visit Xander on purevolume™. It isn't professional but I think the roughness adds to the mood. It picks up around the 3:00 mark.

Great guide. I just tried this with my rogue, and it was very useful.
And powers to your grandmother.

For recording I use Mixcraft 4. It's pretty simple but it gets the job done. I also use Reason for anything that isn't guitar and run either a dynamic or condenser mic through a cheap 2-channel mixer. I love it. :]

Thanks for the feedback all, I'm glad I can have a blast editing video and there's actually a place for it after I'm done.
