I have several toons. Help me to group them and any ideas about where to hunt...but mainly group help.

100 Warrior
100 SK
96 Bard
96 Mage
95 Shaman
94 druid
95 necro

Currently I have:
100 Warrior (Tank Puller)
J5 Healer Merc
100 SK Assist
96 Mage Assist
96 Bard Assist
95 Shaman assist

They are grouped in Evantil. Thinking of changing places. Dies a lot, for some reason. at least AFK

The 95 Shaman and 95 Necro also have J5 mercs. Shaman has tank and necro has healer.
Others have no J5's.


I would like to get them all to 100. I enjoy the necro playing more than the others. The druid is primarily to shuffle people around.

How would you group them, and where to get the optimum XP for everyone?
 
AFKing isn't really for optimum exp. It's more for safe free exp, with the lowest chance of getting dead or narced on.

When you return after an afk session to find yourself dead, you need to review where and why you died, and adjust accordingly. Dont go to moderately difficult zones if youre going to afk, chose a t1 zone, or higher tiers from old expansions. look for open areas with good line of sight that can be pulled easily. vile oak is a very bad zone to afk in---no lev and too many pits.
Maskoi's written some basic articles on group composition, but, personally, if i'm going afk, i always have a strong tank, a cc, and a strong healer; fill in the remaining spots with either dps mercs or characters who need xp.
 
I know AFK is not optimal. I was just wanting to get all toons online and grouped accordingly. Safe zone for group that's afk and whatever group gets the necro I'll be in control of that one. So maybe a little tougher zone for non-afk group.

Was thinking if I get the 100 SK set up for swarming and then use the Shaman, necro, and a couple j5 healer mercs and the sk can get a dps merc or caster type.

Then put the bard, mage, warrior with warriors j5 healer merc and whatever the others have. all t1. Just not sure what zones to hit.
 
ill tell you this if you go with a dps merc, do the wiz.. they do between 25-30k dps on burn, while the rogue merc on burn does a average of 8kdps on burn.

ive tested this for 4 hours between the 2

or do this

set it up into 2 groups, and go to the underquarry, there is some small rooms underground that you will want to first clear with the whole group, then setup evenly after you clear them, so you can split up the crew into 2 teams and then let them afk exp in there

heres a pic of the room in the underquarry where i afk leveled 3 toons over a weekend from 95 to 100 lol

there are also some other rooms in there, thats the one i had chosen because i only had 1 group, but there are 3 near that, that you could setup
 
Oh I dont care about the FB stuff since mine is set to private, and no its not the character name, Im just a big tenchu fan and Tatsumaru was taken already LOL

Lol is there any easy way to get down there? quite a few see invis mobs in there unless I am going the wrong way. My necro is pretty well equipped to get down there with all the fd and stuff.
Mage for Call of the Hero, not so much. I'm gonna buff up the 100 warrior and use his j5 healer, have mage invis and follow behind him. Fight our way down, I guess. Unless there is an easier way.
 
there should only be about 3 see invis along the way that I can remember, but the first thing you do is take your time and go get everyone their J5 merc, its such a HUGE difference and takes about a hour

Yeah, I need to do that as well.
 
any luck? my shaman went from 80 to 90 today while I was at work, not in that specific zone today but another spot that ive kept to myself as its rarely traveled as well, but I will prob move them to that one soon as its better exp than here
 
I didn't get started until late. I only had time to get 2 toons about halfway through the J5 Merc. I need to get the rest tonight. Hopefully get everyone finished this evening. Then try to get the group down in the quarry and see what happens.
 
Well, about 2:00 this morning I finally got the group situated where I want it.
100 Warrior with J5 healer
96 bard
96 mage
95 Shaman
94 Druid

We'll see how much XP we get.
 
who has more AA, the SK or the war? also who has better gear? if the sk is similar in gear and aa, the sk is probably easier to tank with all the buffs and heal procs they have

I had a 90 war in full HoT t4 gear, and switched and created a SK and leveled him up, they tank alot easier in a group setting it seems to me atleast, with all the heals they have at their disposal
 
I'll have to finish the SK's J5 merc. He doesn't have it yet. So, if I switched right now, I would have to use the shaman's J5 healer. Not sure how much difference 5 levels would make.
I may try it this evening, if the xp doesn't look too good. Call of the Hero makes it easy to get him to the spot anyway.

Yeah, just t he earth progression.
Also, I used the now 96 shaman's J5 healer and call of the hero'd the SK in there. He is killing markedly faster than the warrior, even though they are comparatively equipped and the warrior has more aa's by far. Several thousand more.
Also seems to be taking less damage overall.
 
Yeah, all of the toons are in the same fellowship. I could have used the campfire to get there. Forgot about that.
Anyway, I figure I'll leave them in there through the double XP weekend. See how much I can get xp wise from them.
Got the SK with 80% to AA, the rest have 20% to AA and 80% to regular XP.
 
ive always done just straight exp, which could explain why they are getting crappy exp as of right now, any deviation between either xp or aa causes a huge drop in exp, especially regular exp. But that spot is very very safe
