AV xp buff hotfix

[zanthor]

"Ummm, no... that wasn't intentional. (Bob, hurry up and buff everything, we're losing subscribers!) In fact, we meant to buff them even more!"

No such thing as bad PR. Blizzard proves to be the master of spin by pissing everyone off with a "mistake" and then being the hero by buffing things to make up for it. I'll give it a try in the morning, but right now I feel a bit jaded or maybe like a battered wife that should know better. Besides, my Aion characters are almost level 10.

Like I said, I'll see how I feel about it in the morning.

I have been leveling a bit in AV and it makes a nice change. I don't have much experience with bgs though and was wondering, if I leveled from say 70-80 mostly in AV would there be good stuff I could buy with the tokens and honor once I was 80? I can't see much in the way of decent rewards. I prob haven't looked properly though.

Yes, but don't wait until 80 to buy them. Honor caps at 75k, so start purchasing Lvl 80 gear as you near the cap. Using my 80 DK, I guided four Ret Pallys through AV from 71 to 80 before the last patch. The Pallys hit 80 with Deadly Gloves and 2 or 3 Furious off-set pieces ready to equip.

i'll be sending my shaman team to AV but I'm not sure if I have to spec them all to resto because elemental might not hit any target. Did you guys respec to resto when you hit AV at 71?

[shaeman]

I stayed elemental in AV from 71 to 80.

Until you hit the highest levels you wont be any use on Belinda/Galv or the end bosses so would suggest just healing the tank and others.

You can still take out players quite a few levels above you though so it's worth sticking elemental.
(plus it just gets better every little level you jump up).

alright I'll stay elemental thanks

I ran my mixed team through 72-80, bouncing out to quest a few of the nicer weapon upgrades at 75. We just usually hit Galv and did the best we could there; ran straight for Tower Point and held it.

Kept my Pally Prot but the rest of the team was DPS; at 79-80 I pretty much tanked Galv and Drek every time. Players I could take down so long as they were with in 6 or so levels of my characters, unless they were well equipped; I did run across a druid one AV that was sporting over 45k hp. He simply ran around my characters bouncing up and down around and over….LOL ever time my team would take down 1/3 or so of his HP he would pop into caster form heal up. He could have wiped the virtual floor with my girls…but I think he had more fun watching me frantically try to kill him…other horde showed up and…..

Glad to see they fixed the AV…I have plans to run a couple more teams after my RaF ends next month.

Doesn't quite explain the nerf to honor

Hey, anyone know the exp numbers we're looking at now? I'm curious what we're getting for a tower cap now in 71-80. With or without exp shoulders/chest, as I have both, so either number works for me.

Thanks!
