AOE spots or low hp elites for 70 - 80 grinding?

[Sembiance]

I dunno, looking at how long it took me to quest/instance grind to 80, and then having to spend literally months grinding honor to gear up for pvp, I wish there had been bg leveling back then. Even if you lose every single game, and it takes approx 10 hours per level, that's about equivalent to trying to grind or quest with a 5 man group (the xp is just terrible in northrend for multiboxing). The only difference is, you'll pretty much have a full set of pvp gear the minute you hit 80.

So since my last post, I've been playing a lot more.
I played AV a LOT on Friday and Saturday night and got nearly 2 levels.
If you win you get almost 10% of a level.
Add to that all the honor your accumulating it really is great.

I split my time about 20% questing, 80% AV.

It's really nice to finally have an alternative to gaining XP.
The ability to have all that honor by the time you first hit 80 is a big bonus too

So I'm now a big fan of AV for gaining levels. Now that I'm up to 75 I find myself a lot less squishy than I was at level 72.
5x Mages can take out a target pretty quick. Arcane Barrage, Fire Blast, Dead. Unless geared 80's, then it takes a little bit longer

Yeah it's definitely worth doing even if you don't win all the time. I'm glad I have my lowbies on separate accounts, I can really turn games by playing my 4x shaman with the alts on follow. They get 1.5-2 bars per game, and keep in mind that's percentage based so it will not decrease as you get higher up.

Also, since you can queue from anywhere, if you have wait times for AV you can continue to quest or grind while you're waiting.

Of course if you're Horde on reckoning, queues are always instant or 30 seconds at the most. Kinda nice
