AV xp nerf in 3.2.2

[wrs]

Aye they do work. 20% on top of 12k for an AV win gave me 15k. Towers gave 11,800. So overall about a 35% reduction with both heirlooms in AV. Still not too bad, with less 80s in AV I think horde will win more on avg. I think I only lost maybe 5 games 61-70 AV as horde. Before 3.2.2 Alliance won 75-80% on my BG 71-80.

I thought the shoulders were only a 10% bonus?

Yup and chest adds another 10%

So here's the big question then.

I was really hoping to get my Mage x5 and Druid x5 teams up from 70 to 80 before the Halloween event. They have full rested exp, and I have the Cloth Heriloom Shoulders and Chest for 20% increase.

Would it be faster to still run AV from 71-80 (After doing some initial questing in Borean for gear upgrades and to bridge the 70-71 gap), or should I just run quests with both teams with Heirlooms and Rested Exp?

I never got to experience the 71-80 AV run before, so I'm not sure how fast it really is compared to questing.

Any guesses on which would be better?
