So, they buffed the AV generals....I guess too many people were getting the six minute achievement done.






Or not.

Honestly, the buff was in place a couple days before I was made aware of it.

It's not noticeable. And it's not nearly enough.

For AV to be balanced properly: 4 marshals up should only be attemptable with 30+ current-tier PvE-geared, PvE specced players, including a proper mix of tanks, healers, and DPS. 3 Marshals up should require PvE-geared, PvE-specced tanks and PvE-geared dps/healers (PvP spec okay). 2 Marshals up should require PvE-geared tanks (dps spec okay). 1 Marshal up should be doable with 12-ish people in PvP gear. 0 Marshals should basically be an automatic win, doable with a 5-man group.


Basically, the marshal buff is FAR too weak. AV needs to re-emphasize capping and holding towers, and thus, bring some PvP back into that PvE Battleground.

Then remove the achievements for doing it otherwise.

I'd call it a gumby style rumor for now, but hearing some reports that icc is at 10%.

hurray legendary!

makes up for the shitty amount of Vanq we got today

Doesn't compare to the awesomeness of wiping on BQL25 even with the 10% buff!

I'm so tired of playing this game at this point... I'm tempted to just quit playing for awhile =\.

not playing makes me want to play again :)

For those of you who may be interested, today Amazon.com is having a series of goldbox lightning deal with Blizzard / WoW related stuff

Link to goldbox lightning deal page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/

It started out with the Logitech G13 this morning for $59.99 (expired now) and currently it is the WotLK expansion for $28.99 (an hour and a half left until it expired). A bunch of other stuff coming throughout the day, including possibly Burning Crusade and vanilla WoW. This is a guess based on the description though, cause the actual item isn't revealed until it's sale time.

What is also a good WoW related deal though unrelated to the lightning deal above is the vanilla WoW + Burning Crusade (two separate items, not the battle chest) for $19.82. To get this deal you go to this link: http://www.amazon.com/World-Warcraft-Pc/dp/B000067FDW/
Scroll down a bit and in the middle of the page there is a link to:
Buy World of Warcraft and get World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade as a gift with purchase! Buy Together Today: $19.82

Hope that helps someone who's thinking of RAF-ing or something. I have been looking for a cheap BC copy for a while, to upgrade my formerly RAF'd account that I let lapse back in 2008. I grabbed this right away as soon as I saw it.
