Best place to farm honor post 4.0.1?

[Bollwerk]

Now that the PVP mounts cost honor points (1k/2k), what is the best place to farm honor while 5-boxing?
I'm inclined to lean toward Wintergrasp and Alterac Valley.

Also, any idea how much honor is awarded now for wins in those places?

You also get 7 honor for every boss kill in a HC. So if you´re not yet capped on Justice points, that´s not a bad way either.

I haven't gotten all 5 toons in a WG battle since the patch. Pretty irritating. Two to three don't get accepted, so they get ported out, so I just afk. I hate it, because I love WG. AV has been what I've been doing, haven't really payed attention to how much honor per hour I'm getting.

I found a work around to this problem. The toons that get ported out, I have each one drop group and drop from the Wg que. Then just que up each on individually. Every time I do this, I instantly get the option to join WG battle.

I'm having a brain fart. What is "HC" ? Home City?

Heroic.

Anyone know if the 7 honor is all the time or just when wintergrasp is controlled (replacement for stonekeeper shards)?

[BrothelMeister]

The 7 (I thought it was 6) honor is the replacement for stonekeeper shards, so its up 95% of the time on my realm...

Even so, how many bosses do you really think you can kill in an hour, Vs instead farming Battlegrounds ?

Battle grounds net 100-200 per match, and you can usually 2 an hour. Even with 50% loss rate (which is not the case) you should get >150 honor per hour from BGs. With heroics, even if you could drop a boss every 4 minutes, which really is barely plausible, thats only 105 (90) honor per hour.

The only reason to use heroics for honor is if you really don't enjoy PvP (then whey are you farming honor again?) or if you're also in need of PvE badges or money.

I've done 3 battlegrounds since patch 4.0.1 hit and i can not stand, not having Ghostwolf. Especially in WSG. A simple snare is enough to kite me x 4. Or rogues sapping. woop woop.

There's a good chance i won't exceed 20 battlegrounds played untill cata hits. Even though i only need like 80 total BG's won for battlemaster. (+ some sota crap)

I dunno why you are having issues I'm destroying battlegrounds with the shamans (when the queue pops!).
I literally haven't had char die since 4.0.1 it's ridiculous how much of a buff they did to resilience even after they reduced the buff our burst still globals, but we are tanks.

Playing tank, dropping totems and kill whatever comes close is part one yes. But trying to kill 3 people running away from you, carrying the flag. 1 being healer, will prove to be difficult. Without insta Ghostwolf that is. Because in most cases i'll be the only one actually caring for objectives. So if i do not kill the enemy FC, he will score. Exactly what happened.
