One Key to Notice about the new AV

While grinding 7k honour last night for my S1 healing mace, I forgot one important thing, to press the screenshot button to record what I am posting about here.

Still, on one of those 15 games I had last night, something interesting happened. The game had lasted about 25ish minutes, during which both captains were killed early. Alliance killed Drek, ending the game (we were on Vann at that stage, it was a matter of seconds, in one of those twists you see less often since the patch). The main difference though was that about 10 seconds before the scoreboard came up, we capped the 4th alliance bunker while we had two of ours intact.

Horde earned about 150 more bonus honour from that run than the winning alliance.

This is something I cannot stop stressing enough. Rushing to the enemy general is the measliest tactic in terms of honour since the patch. For other ways to wreck the new AV for your team, wowinsider’s Matthew Rossi wrote a nice little piece of (mild) sarcasm.

PS. I’m sticking to using crimson for PvP item links for the time being. Who knows, maybe this could eventually pick up.
