I'm a lvl 36 CNJ. I'm trying to level my Thaumaturge for Swiftcast. I really hate leveling this class though =( I just want to heal.

I've been grinding battle leves, is there a faster way? I read an article that said once I level a class to 50, subsequent classes get a 50% xp boost. Is that true? Can I survive without swiftcast for that long? (I'm a pretty good healer, in my opinion. Very, VERY few wipes and the couple I've had, the group has acknowledged that it was for reasons other than healing).

I want to be a really good healer, so if I need to grind this class out, I'll do it. I'm just looking for some input from those who have walked the path before me =)
