Ive done it a few times, and it is definitely intensive, but in order to survive youre really gotta be 60. Im not 60 yet. And besides, everyone heads over to AB now anyway. AV is fun, but it can get old. The battles all take place on the one road; AB is nicer, as you get a change of scenery every now and then.
I don't play AV that often because the matches can last for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours. AB games are quick, you get better honor, and the games last max of 30 minutes. I usually don't do AV unless its a holiday and everyone is in it. It's been a long process on the road to getting exalted.
Was real fed up with it on my rogue when exalted, and it was the only BG people played.. Arathi Basin was a blessing when it came.
However I do like it, and can't wait to try it out and grind up another char/class to exalted in it. =)
Min lvl for AV is 51. The brackets have been changed for both the other BGs to 10-19, 20-29 etc instead of 21-30, 30-40. Doesnt this give AV two brackets of, one 51-59 and one for 60s only? The major problems with AV before was all the lowlevels.. If they still use the old model for AV, yeah, you pretty damned well need to be 60.
Got my Warrior to Exalted and got the TUF, Don Julio's, and epic trinket (really nice for tanking BTW).
Now I'm almost to Honored with my Warlock. Since I'm only doing it for the awesome off-hand, there's no real rush and just plan on playing on Holidays with my lock.
I've never even tried to go to AV. I have occasional lag problems in WG, worse in AB near the Blacksmith Shop. I was also lagged the hell out in Scholo until the number of mobs was reduced. So a 40 vs. 40 fight sounds unplayable to me. Heck, 20 vs. 20 at XR is pretty bad.
1. It laggs, and then a rogue comes behind and owns me (Im a mage here)
2. Alliance never wins, and on my server probably claims to be the worst alliance side of all time
3. Little honor you get from kills, rather do AB where I get avg. +100 honor per kill.
4. AFKers (around 2-3 each AV)
I do it, it is fun while it lasts (usually I leave after 2 hours..gotta have a life) and it just skyrockets your lifetime kills
But we never get further than Stormthingy Graveyard. After that it is usually getting pushed back all the way to Frostwolf Keep.
Earthen Ring=the place where an AV battle lasted 48 hours.....
I remember that AV, though i only stayed the first 2 hours You guys usually get to stonehearth and then it gets boring because you zerged it and its just you push, we push, you push, we push and then its an annoying stand off until someone makes a distraction which is either a stealth team or you all zerg that lady in the keep. Though next time i see you in AB Nerghul im going for you.
Hm..Starwind sounds familiar. Do you play a Druid? In which case we had the honor to meet in AB already. Visit me at the farm flag or LM flag where I like to hang out and we see how it goes :)
