tagging invasion demons

[Skylarking]

Hi

So to get heaps of exp in invasions you wanna tag as many things as possible. If i mindsear a group of demons, and the aoe hits them does that count as me tagging them?

Yes. /10chars

Yesterday I played with my spriest. I was throwing a shadow pain on every target and I received XP from them when they die.
Mind Sear should work too

[Deleted]

Mind sear works, SW:P is also great for tagging

[Pann]

As others have said Mind Seer works but it is rare that you get many mobs close enough together to use it often, I found running around tagging the closest mob(s) with SW:P to be quite effective.

So is the experience different between being in a 5 man tagging group or a large raid sized tagging group? I assume there isnt, but everyone in general chat is always wanting 5 man groups for exp gains.

It seems like bosses always give full experience, but normal/elite mobs start to lose their value if there's more than five people. And it matters, since big elites are worth like 1/4 of a boss and go down fairly quickly.

So I'm just gonna ask this question here. I get the feeling I'm missing something. I've been levelling my paladin from 80-88 with invasions. The question is: How do you not die?...


I DPS the boss = he eventually oneshots me.
I tag the boss and run, too far = no XP.
I tag the boss and run staying close = I drop out of combat = no XP.
I tag the boss and run staying close = he eventually puts a debuff on me that kills me within seconds = no XP.

What am I missing? Is the scaling off? So far the only reliable way I've found, is use Divine Shield, tag the boss and hope he dies within 8 sec. Has to be timed perfectly.

I've died more times in 2 days than in a month on a vanilla server.

Make sure every now and then you're actually using gear upgrades so you have stamina to survive. Use your defensive / healing abilities

Ill give you my take, I lvled 2 chars through invasions.

What seemed to have happened was that everytime I tagged a mob from a pack the whole pack would give me xp without me tagging everything in that pack.

I was concerned as well as mobs that I never touched were giving me xp. I am not 100% sure if thats the case or if it was glitched or something but it did happen for me a lot in my over 10 hours of invasions leveling.

Leads me to another question.

I just replaced:

Spiked Titansteel Treads
Ilvl 200
Armor 51
Str 25
Sta 21
Crit 11

With:

Felforged Warboots
Ilvl 443
Armor 57
Str 25
Sta 37
Crit 16
Haste 16

Does this look right?

Yes that looks right. I wouldn't waste ANY of that gear, though, just keep leveling with what you have. It's a waste to use it prior to level 91.

223 Ilvls on an item and you gain 6 armor and no STR? I thought something was off, but maybe not. What happens at 91?

At 91 you get into WoD gear levels. Prior to that you're still working with the item level squish.

That stam tho...

[Lazy Gecko]

Priest tagging really spoiled me. Trying to do the same thing with a warrior is really frustrating in comparison.

[Spray]

It looks right, Fel items from crates didn't scale nicely on lower levels, but I think it was hotfixed today. Still, as Darsithis said, it's not worthy to open them before max level.

EDIT: Untrue

Fixed a bug that was preventing some lower-level event reward armor from gaining item level upgrades when Warforged.

Um, nah - it's something else.

Mount up in your flying mount and stay at distance so they cannot hit you, when they are low on HP hit them with some spell and you get the XP. Easy

At level 91 you start in the Warlords item level inflation and should see a larger gain. They squished the gear stats between 1 - 90 because it was getting a little out-of-hand, my gear from Mists used to have thousands of stamina and strength on them.

Even so, save most of them, at least 20 or so, for level 100 so you have the best gear for starting out in Legion.

Easiest way to tag all the mobs in an area as priest is to cast a few heals. You get tags on pretty much on everything (basically you get every tag of every player you healed). Prayer of healing is the best for the job.

Spamming dots are too much work when you can just renew a few hunters and let them do the dirty work for ya.
