The thing to farm in 69 BGs is *marks*, not honor. I would consider playing a bunch of WSGs and maybe ABs at 69 to get a small bankroll of marks before you ding 70. Honor farming in AV is easy and fun at L70, even with undergeared folks.
For both my Shaman and Hunter teams, the easiest places to win with Freshy-L70-n00b-gear are:
AV
EotS
AB (highly variable here, as well)
WSG (distant last)
You can't go wrong with a "Farm AV Honor and play the others only to get marks" strategy. WSG particularly will be very painful until you have very good gear. Even then, you may struggle to do better than 60-65% win ratio.
Also consider running BGs using a 4-man or less team or using AV Preform to queue yourself. If you Join As Group with a 5 person team in AB, EotS, or WSG, you will be put into a separate queue which will a.) take longer and b.) guarantee you are up against a premade. Bad idea. Queuing with just 4 seems to place you in the "normal" queue, which might also be a preform/premade, but at least it's not Blizzard doing it for you.
I had a question that's related. I realize at 71 Arena points are wiped. But If I started a arena team now, would I have enough time to buy the shields? If so how long would something like that take provided your under geared guys as a base for ratings? I've never done Arena really, I hate playing ring around the line of sight. But hey for gear it would be worth it. The question is do I have time?
Thanks
You got about 2 months until it's expansion times so you should be able to buy at least 1-2 pieces of gear before then making minimal points
Sweet Thanks for the info. Perhaps i start that his week and show my win/looses on a vid. By doing so I hope to pick up a few pointers :thumbsup:Quote:

Completely off-topic here but I find it irritating that when viewing the front page there is absolutely no indication of WHO wrote the news post until I click read more/comments.
Agree! I really reccomend something that shows better who authored the first page-post.Quote:

Arena points are granted weekly, honor was daily and is now instant. I believe he's talking that you can gear with S2 gear for some pretty solid PVP gear without having to depend on arena points which accrue at a very steady rate.Quote:

S3 Shield requires an 1800 rating. (I made that mistake last season -- and it still has a rating req. bs).Quote:

Oh and I just read that Honor points / Arena Points / and even Honor Marks are getting reset once you hit 71. (wow forums down so I can't link it, but it's posted on wowinsider)
