Quoting a post I made earlier:
Quote:
If you're PLing you want to tag every mob with a snare. Buff/Regen/DS yourself. You do more DMG from your DS (shield of blades vs. shield of thorns, and it stacks with our Bladecoat self DS line... 38 vs. 24), you regen more (Natureskin+Regrowth is 19, SLN+Chloro is 12), you take less damage (level 60 vs. level low). Which leads to you needing to heal less, which means you can pull more before medding, which means you let them level faster.
I wouldn't suggest PLing until 49 at the lowest. 54 helps with Regrowth, 57 with Natureskin, 58 with Shield of Blades and 60 with Mask.
Also worth noting in order of importance... DS Potions, Manastone, Robe of the Spring/Elder Spiritist's Greaves, Goblin Gazughi Ring/Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring.
DS potions add 31 DS at level 60, and stack with your DS spells (69 total). Mobs die to DS twice as fast meaning you take less DMG etc etc
Manastone converts HP to mana meaning even when running around, with Regen from Natureskin/Regrowth you are pulling in 20 mana every 3 ticks or about 6-7 mana a tick just by clicking it each time you're near full health. It does wonders to help maintain mana and since you're PLing you will always be in classic zones
Clicky heals are mana free 220-250 HP heals, saves mana and combines with Manastone it's faster than meditating.
Goblin ring for higher level PLing charm breaks, goblin skull earring for junk buff cause lots of low level casters cast cancel magic.

I suggest getting 49 before you start powerleveling. Jump from 39 spells to 49 is quite large.
How to Powerlevel:
- Snare every mob
- Have your person hit each mob (have the person use a cycle NPC hotkey)
- Tank the mobs until they die
- Heal as needed.
Protips:
- Buy and use Kilva's Skin of Flame (at level 60 it is a 31 DS for 12min... stacks with druid buffs). -- Costs about 250plat for an hour of buff
- Use a Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring as a top buff slot to save against Cancel Magic dispells
- Memorize and use both Snare/Ensnare.
- Utilize Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring + Global Recharge Removal to chain fire off Snare and Ensnare.
- Ensnare the final mob in a train when it is fleeing, let PL person kill it on their own to skill up melee
- Carry a fast all-class magic weapon on you (Smoldering Brand is great... Shark's Tooth is good but omits a few classes)
Doing higher level PLs (25-30+) uses somewhat different tactics. That isn't really relevant until you are level 60 though.
