Well, here's been my experience so far, using a 70 Protection Pally.

SM is pretty easy. Cathedral is easy to pull the first 2 floors before the cathedral itself, and aoe them down. Then you just go into the Cathedral itself, run straight up the middle and pull mograine, then walk backwards until you are fairly near the door, at which point everything should be nicely grouped in front of you. Target the Abbots with your melee attacks, it makes life easier. I keep up Blessing of Sanctuary, and Ret Aura. I use Seal of Light on pulls to help keep my health up, then I use seal of Wisdom once I have everything where I'm going to pull to...this helps with all the consecrations you'll be using, since Prot pallies aren't known far and wide for their mana pool.

You can do this alone, or it can be a major boon if the character you are leveling happens to be a Mage to help AOE, or a priest / paladin / shaman / druid that can heal you while you do it. It's not necessary, but it is nice.

At this point, i'm now stuck. I took this mage to 45 (go forums), but am currently having difficulty finding a good place to go. Here is what I have tried:

ZF - Terrible as a prot pally. Your choices are either kill all of the witch doctors as you go along pulling which tends to make pulls shorter and considerably smaller overall, or you can pull a huge group, and hope you can macro target the totems faster than the NPC's can lay them down. If you don't, they will pretty much get all their life back every tick. Then, of course, there is the beauty of runners...they scatter in every which direction, some of them never come back, and sometimes they just wander outside the world so you can never get out of combat, nor can you kill them. Overall, this place is a pain in the rear.

Uldaman - Same as ZF, just lower level. At 45 the xp here just didn't justify the time it took to kill, since they all drop the same totems the mobs in ZF do. Also, the pulls are annoying, and most of the mobs end up leashing.

BRD - This place isn't bad, but I can't kill enough at a time to make it really worthwhile. Even at 70, if you pull more than 10, they really chew through your HP at a decent rate, plus they have a lot of HP so they take longer to kill. In this place, like ZF or Uldaman, I'm betting it is probably faster to just have a high dps class kill singles really quickly than it is to attempt to AE, especially as a prot pally.

I'm considering Strat to try next. The mobs are all high enough level that even if they aren't elite they should still yield decent xp, plus most of them are undead, so I can put on conc aura and push out a holy wrath here and there for extra DPS. I'll try to report back after I see how that goes tomorrow.

I have had a great time in Strat as a Prot Pally. I would imagine no problems.

Nice, Should ask my friend if he can powerlevel me, but i dont think he will

[TheDipper]

Except however fast it is, it is so hella boring... I got 2 levels and quit :P

[Maverike]

And even that is really a luxury item. I can 2 pull the entire Cath instance without it, np.

This is on a Prot Pally in greens / blues btw.

:confused: The pally running me is one of the main healers for a guild thats completely cleared TK and on thier way to BT. Hes holy and doesnt have +spell damage gear, but we figured he could just heal through it and it would only take a little longer. He rounded up the mobs, brought them behind the door, put on ret aura+ consecrate and let them go to town, then he was goan spam some fast heals when he got low switch to concetration aura and begin healing. Only thing is they kept "Kicking" his spells and stopping him from casting >.>

I don't actually need to heal as protection. In the cath pull, I generally go from 11k hp down to about 3k before everything is dead, or on the rare bad run (redoubt doesn't proc, I don't parry as well as I could), I can usually get the health of the mobs down far enough that they run away, so I throw up conc and heal while they're scattering.

Honestly, that usually doesn't happen though. Blessing of Sanctuary helps a lot (prot talent), because it not only reduces damage, but does damage to everything when you block (which should be a lot when you have redoubt and Holy Shield up). Speaking of Holy Shield, it's pretty damn nice for this too.

I've seen a video of a Holy pally doing this, but I think she had a figurine of the colossus, so I'm not sure how it would work out as holy without one, even in really good holy gear...but yeah, I definitely understand where you are coming from with the spell interrupts. It's why I don't even try to heal until they run away, because like 20 of them will all try to bash you at the same time, which basically is a guaranteed interrupt, even when the mobs are that low level.

that sounds interesting i might try that with my friends high druid

[ToMbXx]

this is awesome, got 20-32 so far doing this so far, gotta do some more now :P

[GKV]

Are there any Power Leveling sites that offer this?

[Shagohod]

Can this be done with a 62 mage?

[Alkhara Majere]

Can this be done with a 62 mage?

In smaller amounts, yes it could.

[Shagohod]

In smaller amounts, yes it could.

How many hours in loss are we talking about?

[darkmystic]

its very nice with high lvl freidns

[Alkhara Majere]

How many hours in loss are we talking about?

All has to do with the gear, the health, mana and damage.
Lots of drawnbacks.

[Starsunder]

that is awesome, this guide owns, but can a lvl 70 shadow priest do it?
