I fought in 3 AV's on Wranngar tonight, 1 win and 2 losses. The first one I was in was a win and the next 2 were losses. In the win we rushed FWGY and quickly moved onto FWRH while some capped IBT and TP. After we had FWRH clocking we capped the East and West Frostwolf Towers and then went in and took out Drek, nice and smooth. In the second battle we were also doing pretty good, we had IBT and TP capped, we had IBGY and FWGY, although we lost FWGY and had to get it back, a usual occurrence but one that costs time. We had just capped West Frostwolf Tower and were waiting on East and FWRH to cap when the Horde killed Vann, we just ran out of time. The third battle was a turtle because people went for Galv at the start which resulted in a lot of the offense getting wiped out and sent back to Stormpike Graveyard to start over. Going for Galv first is an almost guaranteed loss and is not worth the 63 honor he gives. I keep telling people if they think his 63 honor is nice they should try winning some time. Even though we had no offense to speak of and everyone was at Dun Baldar we managed to get the Horde down to 50 resources before we lost. If people had put a little more effort into holding our bunkers I think we could have won it on kills. There were the usual 6-8 AFK in all 3 battles I was in, good job on that Blizzard.
Update: I went back in and did 2 more AV's, one win one loss. The first battle I was in we won but I'm not sure how. Most of our team was in Dun Baldar and I guess that helped some as they were able to hold the Horde off from killing Vann for quite awhile after they had the 4 bunkers capped. We didn't have many on offense but were able to finally work our way into Frostwolf Keep and cap the East and West Towers. We had the FWRH clocking when we went for Drek, I think everyone knew that we already had all the luck we were going to get as far as time was concerned. We managed to take down Drek and the Horde never touched Vann even though they had the 4 bunkers capped at for at least 5 miniutes. We had a lot more AFK in these 2 battles than we did in the previous 3, they don't even bother to come out of the cave, they just stay right where they spawn. Blizzard says they are doing something about the AFK but as hard as I look I just can't see it. In the second battle there were 10 people spamming 10 different plans at the start so basically everyone took off in 10 different directions and everything just fell apart. That battle didn't last too long but I managed to pick up 2037 honor from these battles and 259 kills.

Daily's 6/19/08
I only did a few daily's today, the fishing, cooking and Gaining the Advantage on Wranngar, and the fishing and cooking on Gomorra. Today's fishing quest was Shrimpin' Ain't Easy. I flew out to my spot at Umbrafen Lake (78,74) in Zangarmarsh on Wranngar and got all my Giant Freshwater Shrimp in no time, then I got on Gomorra and did it again, it went quick for him too. In the process Wranngar's fishing leveled up to 365, only 10 more to go :). After I had all my Shrimp I flew back to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and turned in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. Wranngar's had 7g41s7c, 3 Elixir of Water Walking, and a Piece of Polished Driftwood, nothing too exciting there. Gomorra got 6g59s89c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and 3 Motes of Water, nothing too good there either but I can use the motes to make Primal Mooncloth. Then I went to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath and got the daily cooking which was Revenge is Tasty and headed to Skettis on Wranngar. It took me 9 kills to get the wing I needed on Wranngar but when I went back on Gomorra he got his on the second kill. I went back to Shattrath and turned in. I picked Crate of Meat on both and Wranngar's had 6 pieces of Serpent Flesh, 6 pieces of Talbuk Venison and a Torn Furry Ear, again nothing too good there but the meat comes in handy. Gomorra got 8 pieces of Serpent Flesh, 6 pieces of Buzzard Meat and an Unidentified Eye which I guess is used for flavor. No new recipes today. The each got the 7g59s this quest pays. Then I headed out to Nagrand on Wranngar to kill and skin some Clefthoof for Gaining the Advantage. The Nether Residue just wasn't dropping today, I had to kill between 25 and 30 Clefthoof before I got my 8, usually I get it in less than 15 kills. I turned that in and got the 16g39s and the Major Rejuvenation Potion this quest pays. I may go back later and do the Shattered Sun daily's but I am not sure.
