Leveling from 85 to 90 on Timeless Isle - 10-25M xp per hour - solo

[markons]

I tried this last night on my very well geared ele shaman. Just killing grubs and turtles I could only average MAX 4.5 mill/hr.....what am I missing here where yall are getting 15m?

Are you rested? At lvl 88 rested my Shaman was getting about 38k/one so about 380k-400k for group. Thats about 2mill in 5-6min..

I'm trying to do this on my 86 Priest since he's rested and I keep going down really fast, any tips?

The mobs you are killing(Larvae's) gives you a really nasty debuff which stacks up to 10 times. When they reach 10 stacks you take 15k dmg each second or something. You have the luxury of being able to dispell this as a Priest. I do believe shadow priest's can dispell poisens but im not sure. Also you could go disc when you do it and just heal yourself and spam Mind Sear.

There is Mass Dispel but that takes cast time and by the time I get it off I'm nearly dead, going to try disc next

Priests can't dispel poison at all.
Disc is probably the way you want to go, but as shadow you can still abuse their mechanic. Preshield and renew and pull them at max range with mind sear. as the closest begins to stop and cast, just backpaddle for a second and cast another mind sear. This will cause the frontmost casters to stop casting and follow after you.

Any tips for lvl 87 brewmaster? What kind of rotation I should use ?

Since returning to WoW I have all my characters rested up. I have one 90 I leveled solely doing quests so I thought I would give this a shot with my 85 frost death knight.

The problem for me is that I play on a very unbalanced realm. Horde outnumbered Alliance by 50:1. There are over 200 Horde on Timeless Isle throughout the day, even at 3 in the morning there is at least 40 people there. Nearly every chance they got, they would gank me.

As a DK my strat was to Death & Decay the mobs, then spam howling blast every time off cooldown. It took about 8 howling blast to kill the mobs. I would kite the mobs, but stop and let them start casting their attack, then move again.

Was it worth it? Definitely if you have rested experience. I wouldn't bother if you aren't rested. I also had the guild perk.

This would work much, much better on balanced realm or if the numbers are in your favor. I got ganked probably about 50 times while grinding out a level and a half. Every time I died I had to run back from the horde spawn.

All that said I don't think this will work for every class. Rogues, dps warriors, priests, non demo locks, and monks may have a lot of trouble if they don't have good aoe.

Hunters, mages, and elemental shamans should burn through these mobs easily. I plan to do it with my elemental next.

DK is in the middle because although howling blast spam works, you have to wait on rune regen.

Hope this helps.

The only class I had trouble with there was my rogue. Everything else I used didn't encounter much in the way of problems on the worms.

Use glyph of breath of fire and spinning crane kick. Soak the worms with keg smash, use breath of fire on them, spin spin breath of fire, etc. dispel poison and heal with the sphere.

Any tips for warlock? People are saying that its easy as destro but I never really play this toon so I don't know much about the class.

Is it my AoE rotation or should I wait a few more levels (currently 85)?

Seems like a really amazing way to level. Have a problem though. First off, im an Ele shammy. Any tips?
If i cant get decent gear from AH, should I just quest till i have full set of MOP Gear and then go?

Thanks for help! Should hit 85 tomorrow. Would like to know asap

You can buy a full set of 372 ilvl gear from a vendor on the isle (near the inkeeper). It's not much, but it's better than cata gear.

I've only done it on my warrior but I also play a lock, so what I would do is spec Shadowfury so you get a stun, and KJC so you can cast Incinerate while moving. Rain of Fire, run away while they cast, RoF again, Shadowfury, etc. Once you get 2-3 embers, cast Fire 'n Brimstone > Conflag > Conflag > Incinerate while moving and keep regenerating embers. Should be pretty easy. That's not an exact rotation above but just play with it, it should be too difficult.

Meanwhile, any tips for an 85 paladin? I tried as ret and got rolled, but perhaps I'm not managing cooldowns well or I should go prot. Any suggestions?

Kilauea, There is a video of this on youtube. Can't look right now, but shoul be easy to find. Anyways, the guy uses a Pally and I believe he said he was protection.
