However, if the other side is skilled, you wont get a single point of honor. They will retake your tower caps and leave you with nothing but pain. Then they will farm honor for 15 min or so. At this point, avoid the BG for a while. You are better off doing anything else.

And then the ally back the heck up off the bridge, and allow us into the towers to kill the archers.. like every single time! Woot!

It is just pure fun in epic battles in AV. Normally you have something like a defined frontier and players tend to fall back on low health or mana. The perfect thing for a rogue.
1. select your target (the weak ones)
2. use shadow step
3. cheap shot
4. dps
5. kidney shot
6. final dps
7. vanish
8. repeat

Although there are only few hordes in this blog, I must cry a little bit. Allies have an easier game in AV.
a) your bridge is something we cannot avoid, but you can sneak by our two towers on the way up to the base;
b) our NPCs standing somewhere not in the way to pass by, your’s are normally good adds to help defend the base;
c) it is very difficult for us to take your bunkers because the archers see us almost always, this is truly not the case with our towers. although you get hit by them, once you are inside you can easily take them
But there are some interesting aspects, too. Before the last change to AV, many players on alliance side complained that the horde is starting to far in the north, i.e. they could reach sh bunker before the allies. Now Blizzard has changed this and we start way more south. However, this forces us to defend more the before, because we normally face the first allies on IB tower level. And since defense wins AV’s we tend to win a lot of games. Very funny!

But besides this I can only agree with previous comments. Do the daily quest and you’ll be fine on a long term basis.

Still, despite my reservations I am sitting at 60,000 honour points. I only do the daily battleground which gives an additional 400 honour points or so if you win it (which is a lot). If I loose then I try once again and if I loose again, I just leave it for the day. This strategy results in 500 to 900 honour points per day depending on the battleground. I have acquired the 60,000 honour points in little over two months but it did not feel like I was doing PVP much. Just a little every day.

I realize that you want your honour faster but for future seasons this is a fairly painless way to accumulate honour.

About not being well geared for battlegrounds – I have always found that a badly geared player who simply stands at the flag (Arathi or EotS) and calls out incoming attacks makes a more valuable contribution than many S3-geared players that zerg in the centre.

Anyway I’ll keep my eye out for you… my main’s a druid named Fearghas.

In response to Qzz above, imo WSG pvp as any druid is fun. Can’t beat travel form. Either you have a ton of health since you’re feral, or (hopefully) a decent amount of health and a lot of +healing if you’re resto. If you’re boomkin… well I can’t help you there…haven’t rolled boom since level 30 :)

Being the bear able to tank at the end of AV is sweet too. :)

I have a secret that helps me out quite a bit. I don’t try to farm honor in AB, EOS or WSG I save that for AV. I usually park myself by a node and wait to fight as its only tokens that I am after. However more importantly, I make a separate chat window that will only display Guild and Whispers. This way I am free of the main reason why I don’t like BG’s the “Asshats”. The ones who only have one strategy “All in or we lose”. I also tend to avoid the weekend BG unless its AV, well that is until I am free of the greens and blues.

I totally think I’m gonna spend more time in AV on my Druid once my priest gets the knife. I think having fun team-ganking someone with Cassie would be sweet…
