UPDATE ! Since the release of Phase 3 the zombies have gotten the same buff as SoM, meaning the longer they are being kited the faster they are. Basically, don't try slowing them you won't be able to, so this might be impossible for most classes from now on MAGES AND HUNTERS CAN STILL DO THIS BOOST EASILY
@@markw1528 Reset early in the pull i'd understand but mid pulll... no idea. what i know is that until all the mobs aren't near your you must be as much as you can on the corridor wall.
Thank you for actually showing fails/loss scenarios cause a lot of people doing pulls like this only show their perfect splice and it's really annoying when trying to learn it
So true, the expectation from videos of instant success are disappointingly misleading. I remember being frustrated in DME in classic but I finally saw in a video the player’s death count there, which was 600+! Having patience with myself is going to be key 😂
To be fair this is by far the easiest xp boost in classic and can be done with 1 attempt if you watch his route to the grave a few times, practice the jump when you do get there, and use some consumables. Target dummies, shadow prot pot, stam food, alcohol, stam set can all make getting to the gy completely trivial.
@korriebutler4929 yes. I used it yesterday. You just have to go around it and under the thing on the wall but you can still get there but going around the wall on the mount or behind the pot might be easier. If you don't have a mount you can still use the no mount strat.
Just did this on a 43 Hunter, so many wipes trying to get there, but once I did it was relativly simple, watch out for a PatTroll, if I didn't have feign death he'd have killed me after I came out of the 2 vases half way through pulling the zombies
All they managed to do was nerf the classes not as good as mage/hunter are solo aoe farming dungeons. And the only 2 who can do it...are mages and hunters yet again. Only theyre allowed apparently.
Wouldn't they just use totemic projection to move a slow totem+magma totem over and use fire nova rune spell. Since that count as your aggro they would leave the totem alone.
Sadly unless shaman has aggro, the mobs would end up killing the totem.... it's frustrating. Thought I could do Uldaman farm like hunters do with traps.... I was wrong hahahaha
You didn’t mention that fallen hero’s and the zombie have different agro tables, unless you AOE each pack they dont social agro and need to be pulled separately.
Can't do this as Pal anymore. Some adds run too fast, can't go deep to put the consecrate between wall and mountain anymore kill phase last too long. Due to differences of speed some add dont take damage from consecrate and reset their xp so they give like 2 xp when killed...
Anyone done this on lock yet? What runes would u wanna use for warlock? Was thinking of running something like meta,mc, everlasting afflic, invoc and basically just a dot build with talents into affliction for mana and drain.
Safe spot near the two jugs isn't 100% safe, some mobs will still continue casting, also they still spawn lava totems anyway even if they are not attacking
I mean tbh, this is a very general guide, tons of things for each class that could have been more in depth. it's mainly to show people that this will be doable by most classes.
you can already only do 5 runs per hour, which means you have 12 minutes for each run. Overall it takes about 4 minutes worth of running to get to the spot, then 5-6 minutes to kill all the adds, and then running and resetting. Its not bad, but yeah expect it to be about 3-4 runs per hour at first, which will only be about 180-220k xp, which is still 2 levels worth per hour
Nightmare gives 283k per hour if not more if u get escorts and profession quests., if u have skinner you go almost as high as zf solo It also gives now 99g per hour, was 183g. So unless nightmare gets another hard gold nerf and anything more than 1500 exp nerf then this will be a viable option compared to the effort it takes.
@@DefilerxA group of 5 makes it 5 times faster as you probably are on a pvp server and the mobs are elites. So you should at least be 3, 5 just makes it a lot faster. Some bosses are faction based tags so you don't really need a group for half the quests i'd say. You should do what you feel like doing, if you want the most chill repeatable thing for 5 hours to 50 then Ashenvale is it. Another thing to notice is that you share the quests between your party so you increase the chance of amount of quests you have. If you are alone you'll be limited to your own rng which might not give you the optimal quests.
This guide is very unclear. I used to farm ZF on a mage a ton. I know Shammy and Pallies can do that aswell. I still would love to see how exactly priests do it.
i did this one time on my lock in era at like lvl 45-46, didnt go that well, i killed everything with dots slowly but it took like 30 mins just to kill everything. and when i did kill everything most had despawned and couldnt loot, also the exp wasnt great for the time it took to kill em. I dont think now in SoD warlocks have anything more other than a LOT more spell power to kill em a bit faster. I am pretty sure grabbing immolation aura early on from ashenvale and face tanking farming ZF might be a lot faster.
could likely do it with your fire totems. Just putting them in the same place as where you would AoE blizzard. I'm not sure how long it would take to do this though. As long as you have an AoE this can be done on any character really. Just depends on how long you want to sit and do it.
Looks like I will be doing it the old fashioned way. I am not skilled enough for something like this. I would never be able to do all of those jumps. Good luck to those of you who are able to level this way.
Seems entirely doable as a shaman 🤔 totemic projection of your earthbine, magma totem, and use fire nova rune ability 🤔 no mana issues with Shamanistic rage and water shield
dont just spam living bomb as mage or you will get oom. just cast 3 or 4 at once and let them explode. that way u will still be fast enough and you wont go oom and risk to reset the exp counter. just make sure u have atleast 1 living bomb active at all times.
Doing this on a lvl 49 is really disingenuous when u claim this can be done at 40. At 40 you WILL body pull everything and you WILL die. For example the first reset spot doesn't work at lvl 40 because you body pull the witch doctor and cant leave combat even tho you're safe from dying. you cant mount and get to the next spot.
hey, yes i would have loved to make the video on a character with a more appropriate level like 42 - 44, but the only character i had on era was lvl 49. And it is POSSIBLE at 40-42 even though it's very hard and will probably need to use extra consums. Also, as hunter it is very doable 40 and naked, will poste a video this evening.
Why don't you want to take two points in entrapment in stead of savage strikes? Wouldn't it be beneficial to keep adds in our traps for as long as possible?
it splits up the mobs and then you can end up in a situation where you have a bunch of mobs close right + left, better to control their pathing rather than root them
I did ZF farm with warlock and with druid also,hehe.. with warlock i used dots, but you need boots from engi and swiftness potion to get there, with druid is easy to get there but it takes around 15min ti kill ads, i used huricane and dinamids from engi
Doing it rn on my hunter. 150k exp per hour (its with relogging and selling grays and traveling from gadgedzan to zf). Still the best way to lvl up solo
That jump at 2:35 is not patched but just not a thing for the gnomer character model you have to mount and the jump is possible just tested. You can also do a stand jump at 4:07 instead of jumping sideways
learning this can take from 2h to 5h esp on a priest, coz we dont have ice armor. So instead of trying to solo, just reroll healer and join a grp that will 100% be gnomer geared and will speedrun this dung in 20-30min
priest will be omega easy, u have fear,shield,homuncili to put aggro on them, shadowfiend another pet to put aggro, dispersion 90% dmg reduction for 6sec and renew. All this just to get from one safe spot to the next safe spot. If u you want super safe just wait every 2min for cooldowns for next safe spot . This will be so much faster than healing full runs
@@Mcshen1 yes i did it in SOD, was very easy. i put magma totem down before i jump over the corner, totem projection to the turn point and fire nova when mobs come. jump back and forth to keep them in magma totem. rinse and repeat.
Isn't this completely nerfed? They greatly reduced the XP from the zombies I thought... OK, I checked they definitely nerfed the XP in classic which is the current WotLK client. If the fixes for some of the reset spots are in SoD then the zombie farm isn't going to be worth it.
No, you have to check the xp on Classic ERA, there it's the same. So this should definitely work. But yeah if they do additional patches just for SoD then it's Rip.
the real question is how do you know which version of ZF we going to get? they may add the invisible wall making you not allowed to jump on this wall...
UPDATE ! Since the release of Phase 3 the zombies have gotten the same buff as SoM, meaning the longer they are being kited the faster they are.
Basically, don't try slowing them you won't be able to, so this might be impossible for most classes from now on
MAGES AND HUNTERS CAN STILL DO THIS BOOST EASILY
so it means from now on, i cant do this as a paladin , right?
@@ashenone5755 I mean, i haven't tried it my self as paladin. But seems pretty darn impossible as paladin sadly.
how do u loot the ones that die on the side of the mountain
i'm finding a lot of the zombies seem to either be resetting their health mid pull or aren't taking living bomb damage - any ideas?
@@markw1528 Reset early in the pull i'd understand but mid pulll... no idea. what i know is that until all the mobs aren't near your you must be as much as you can on the corridor wall.

I was thinking the same, with nova and earthbind

this aged poorly.
There is no way im not failing those jumps lol.
You actually can still use the first reset spot in ZF since it was patched. You just run around it just not jump over it. Nice vid
Is that true
@korriebutler4929 yes. I used it yesterday. You just have to go around it and under the thing on the wall but you can still get there but going around the wall on the mount or behind the pot might be easier. If you don't have a mount you can still use the no mount strat.

couldn't shaman also do it with magma totem?
sure you could replace it along side the slow totem I think it would work, you can also use the fire nova spell on the totem.
Yes, basically the same strat as paladins but totems instead of consecration.
@@Mcshen1 Don't they just attack fire totem? How do you do this as shaman would LOVE a video PLEASE.

Otherwise decent for the other 3
Safe spot near the two jugs isn't 100% safe, some mobs will still continue casting, also they still spawn lava totems anyway even if they are not attacking
I remember Arleaus doing this with orig classic :)
Nah I'd rather play the game and have fun, than rush to max and complain there's nothing to do lol
Subbed. Let us know when this gets patched in a few days 😂
Dying is shit xp per hour 😂😂😂😂
to bad the event gives way more exp then this, altho good guide, no one could knew about it beeing like this before the release
So where's the shaman version in the comments??
use earthbind and magma totem with firenova rune, you must have totemic projection to place the totems.
Are the reset spot in the fountain fixed? Like infront of you at 3:52
Hey! I know that editing :)
I'm hoping with new druid hurricane runes I can do this!
Yes! I did it at vanilla with huricane and dinamits from engi
is this accounting for our +50% exp from discoverer's delight
Is there a reason you didn't mention Shadow Word Pain with the shared pain rune for priests? Seems like that would speed things up a lot.
I mean tbh, this is a very general guide, tons of things for each class that could have been more in depth. it's mainly to show people that this will be doable by most classes.
Question: If I help my guildies by boosting this, how close to the GY do they have to be? Is the box safe spot before scarabs enough?
300k minus the 10-15min to walk to the GY, setup the pull and the run back to reset the dungeon
you can already only do 5 runs per hour, which means you have 12 minutes for each run. Overall it takes about 4 minutes worth of running to get to the spot, then 5-6 minutes to kill all the adds, and then running and resetting.

Warlocks can do this in era/classic
how
ua-cam.com/video/MsqRlh6dp30/v-deo.html
Mind Sear is not slowing down the elites though, however. We apparently have 2 aoe spells now.
Even if mobs aren't slowed you still have time to get a few ticks before needing to jump again, so it should be fine.
its now harder for everyone execpt mages and hunters, god sake

The bit that you said patched at, were you jump upto the ledge above the boss. I did it last night on night elf its not patched. 👍
yeah, as nelf it seems to work. I think it's only for gnomes where they can't jump there anymore.
