Just an idea -
Maybe someone people want to make a 8 man pbaoe group.

Anyone intrested, if you ever intrested in another class this could be the best way to level one fast.

Most PBAOE Groups Do

  • SM
  • SM
  • RM
  • Healer (Pac)
  • Shammy
  • Tank
  • Skald


Or Something To That Effect.

why do we need the skald and tank? best bet is to have RM pull, healer stun, every pbaoe twice and they should be all dead after that no? the shaman seems to be a good plan though

This explaines the one very successfull way to do it. I have a lvl 19 healer that would like to join this party.

Best way (I've played 3 SMs, and worked with my guild to figure out this pretty-damn-perfect strategy):

one lvl 50 pac healer

as many SMs as you want in one group (hell, full group works too :D)

This works to about 30-35

Healer pulls with debuff, any debuff. That way he can pick an choose, plus he has highest level AE stun. Also, this way you can position all the mobs on top of your healer by walking backwards, and just pull them on top of the SMs and then when the SMs see your hands raise to cast they spam their PBAE. Simple stuff. My guild did this with 3 SMs, got them to 20 in no time flat... we kinda stopped after that cause the 3 people with the SMs were the highest level people in our guild and while we were concentrating on our alts no one else in our guild was getting lvls :/ We needed to PL bad.

I think I'm the only one still playing my SM on a daily basis, but the lvl 50 healer works the same for one person, just pull stuff blue and yellow (hell, even orange works) insted of reds and low purps.

I ran into the strangest Pbae group while trying to lvl my healer. 5 SMs, 2 Healers (1 pac, 1 mend), 1 aug shammy. The shammy buff are imortant for pet pulling.

Basically the plan was every1 except the puller stands on the same spot, the puller would send his pet to bring back 10 to 12 mobs (hagbui camp in the swamp) , pac healer stuns, mend healer keeps every1 alive(including the pet). Since we were standing on the same spot, no matter who got agro, there was still 4 to 5 SM pbaeing.

I got from lvl 38 to 42 that day within a few hrs. Btw we almost wiped out when the pet died or the stun did not stick. Also having speed is important when the pet is returning with the mobs.

personally i would still rather place a RM with speed and pbt instead of the skald. they have decent speed and are better in both defense and offense than the skald

True

True, i think PBT is key

Hey fellas, be nice to the skalds :P . Gimped speed bitches need love too :inlove: . I have to agree with Ugnot the Second, the RM speed should be fine for PvE and the class comes with greater benefit to this group.

Dunno if it is still the same, but SM pet + skald speed is the best way to pull... the pet dosent lose speed if it is hit, and all the aggro mobs focus on the pet instead of the other group members (until they get hit by pbae)... makes it easier to stun because they are all grouped together going after the pet.

you don't need very high speed, just enough for the pet to outrun the mobs its pulling back. The group i was in used healer speed 1 (23 % increase). Even so the pet did die a few times so after that we had the shammie and the mend healer (me) target the pet and heal it if droped below 40% health untill the pet returned.

Having pbt would certainly make things alot easier.

hey newb all you have to do is switch to pbt after the pet gets near, the pulsing will last until its home. god forbid we may the runies weave a little
