AV (bg) xp ! woot ! 500k xp/hour !

[Schwarz]

5 hour levels is ~300k/hour or more at 70+ as levels are in excess of 1.5m XP.

The thing about AV tho isn't so much the speed, more the convenience. Tho i've seen 700+k/hr on winning streaks. Problem is, it's possible to get 0 XP if your team really fails. So I find myself going /afk and waiting out the 15 minute debuff when it looks a 50 min AV fighting at the choke points is inevitable.

5 hour levels are still quiet the grind. At least they seem like it too me. I have only been playing one toon so no turning the tide by myself.

I took a paladin from level 73 to level 77 sunday/monday. I am getting excited about the paladin getting close so then I can start doing heroics again.

I found that there is a little trick with Stonehearth Bunker. You can go in right behind the alliance flag and cap it without killing any archers. This really helps when you are level ~73 and can't do jack to help out.

There were several runs that I am pretty sure I got no xp so that does suck. I have been having fun going and taking mines by myself (actually helped us win a couple). Just a word to the wise just b/c you can level in AV doesn't mean it is going to be easy. Looking at 5 hours a level then you are looking at ~45 hours of playing AV. This can get old pretty quick. I am pretty sure I couldn't stand all the verbal abuse that one gets in AV for boxing.

LoL Im having a blast, I do my normal exp pulls at Black Temple while queing on my paliden then enter with just the Pal. Im 70 and a prot pal so I have more HP then anyone it seems. Or if someone attacks me with world pvp at the BT (level 80s only) I just keep everyone else in ghost and go to the AV with my Pal. Its fun so its not "grinding", can pvp all day for a level so what?

Ya I don't get many kill shots but I do a lot of damage (run into the enemy consecrate then bubble out heh), and I get to tank the boss mob.

Horde does the exact same thing every time, run to the tower kill mini boss, run to next tower, kill mini boss, fight across bridge kill big boss ....

Horde went 5-0 yesterday but I think we lost the last game which closed up at 3 am before it was done. I got like 4000 (3000 yeasterday about 600-700 each win) honor and 24 tokens or something I don't know where they are.

What are you guys talking about AFK? You here to play the game? If you are here to play then play to win not play to watch TV lol. A few more guys can turn the tide at the right time. Everyone can contribute to some extent but I guess if you are 71 agaist full gear 80 then well ....

Yea 5 hour levels is a long time, but 5 hours is towards the bottom of the scale... I've been doing 3 hour levels roughly.

It all depends on what you enjoy. AV might not be the fastest at times, but for me it's the least painful. No running between zones, no dealing with a collection quest in the middle of your chain. I just log onto wow, que up and go. If we're losing consistently I come back later.

So just do what you enjoy. Personally, AV is the only reason I'm going to have more than 3 80's. Doing the Northrend quests 3 time (yes I solo leveled them) was painful... I don't think I've got anymore left in me!

Anyone know the percentages of XP gained in the 61-70 bracket and if they're the same? If they're identical I would imagine it being the same amount 5-6 hours per level in the 60s which is quite slow. As burned out as I am boosting BC instances and UK, they still need 3-4 levels each to hit 71 and 6 hours levels in the 60s is just a waste of time.

Also, am I right that the XP for the 61-70 bracket does not scale properly for level 70? I coulda sworn I was still only getting like 5-6k experience on my 70s per objective rather than 18k...which would make 70-71 like a 15 hour level easy.

Yeah I tested out the 61-70 bracket and the xp was downright AWFUL. One win and only 2%ish xp? Get outta here with that bunk.

61-70 is trash. Aside from crap for XP, the queues are longer and there are more season 2 twink 70s than you'd think. Best bet is to go to UK and boost there at 65 and then hit AV at 71.

The honor is insane at the higher bracket too, 1437 lifetime kills and 55k honor at level 77 on my DKs. Only 96 AV marks and I win more than I lose.
