Boxers slack in AV? When I go to AV people ask if I'm going to be in the next one. Then again, I'm horde, and in every battlegroup I play in the horde suck ass.

When horde wins in AV it's usually a slow win, killing enough ally instead of actually killing Vanndar. The typical losing strategy is as follows: rush Balinda immediately for exp, then try to rush to Vanndar, leaving at most 5 people on defense, 5 of the people on offense will whine about nobody backcapping or guarding whatever was capped, 3 people will leave the BG and say horde is useless, and then either alliance will finish their relatively unimpeded journey to killing Drek'thar, or horde all die and end up on defense and then 2-3 people beg the team to let the alliance finish it while the game takes another 30 minutes for one of the teams to win on player kills. Apparently outside of premades, the good horde players just prefer not to go in AV (are there even worthwhile rewards at 80 yet?!).

Anyway, I find that the two most suitable strategies while boxing are:
1. be healers
2. be on offense as support

With my 5x shamans, mass chain heal on offense is king. With my paladins, I can't aoe heal so much, but I can rape people on offense while providing helpful auras to the team.

Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's not. Sometimes I'll die and have to run half of my people across the zone to meet up with the rest of me. Either way, I go in expecting to lose, but at least I will get some exp and honor.

That said, I found it an enjoyable way to xp through my late 50's.
