Is intense and retarded but sh*t loads of fun.

Shield spam, FH, Renew, Penance and dispels up teh *****

Kept forgetting I had PoM, as I just got it the other day.

Got around 18k exp and a good chunk of honor.

I may be over questing.

That's awesome. Being a healer in a BG really is fun.

Just keep moving and don't let them catch you. I love my one button Desperate Prayer, trinket out, Nitro Boosts macro.

I've started leveling my Druid as a healer, and I'm toying with the idea of leveling in AV.

Ha! My latest priest project hit the 50's recently so we went into AV (which has long been a favorite BG of mine anyway) and I said the same thing! The xp in there is insane compared to what I've been averaging in WSG or AB. Plus for me it has the added benefit of farming marks to get off the chicken, which is big. Hubby wants to get back to the leveling guide but I'm resisting - I'll take Van over the Un'Goro Crater any day.

I don't have Penance yet though. :(

Leveled my rogue recently from 76 1/2 to 80 by doing nothing but AV. It's like twice the XP/hour than what you'd normally get from doing quests. Each tower or captain was worth around 20K, which is just about what you get for completing a quest at that level.

So yeah, regardless of class, AV is currently the best way to level a toon. Even more so if you have become sick and tired of doing Northrend quests. The rogue being my 5th level 80 now, I sure have reached that point.

You forgot Screams, Holy Fires, SW: Deaths, Mind Blasts and DoTs.
Then you can not only top healing, but also score high on damage and killing blows.

I'm glad Aethien's got a priest now. We need more malice and violence in the priest forums.

I use DP often in BGs. Have to squeeze SW:D on a bar some where though as it is not on one now. Might stick it with MB...

I use Scream often as most people have no presence of mind to get DPS of the healer. Well one rogue did, which was really cool as I was drinking for mana and getting some water for me at the time.

Ah, my Blood Elf Shadow Priest went from 52-55 last night, mostly from AV and a couple quests done while waiting for AV to pop. I like shadow so I don't feel as helpless when caught alone (I have an 80 alli shadow priest on another server and I just suck a holy combat), But when I'm in a group, I heal till I'm OOM. AV is one of my new friends, but when I hit 58, I'm going to the outlands to level for a while, want to some gear from out there.

I figure if going through the outlands as my first hordie is still boring, I'll just switch back AV until I hit Northrend.

The benefit to being holy/disc is you can heal instances for gear while waiting to do AV.

I don't think I am going to quest again with this toon.

You know, I never even THOUGHT of leveling like that. Then again, I want to level Outlands at least once as horde, to see how things are out of curiosity.

Not a whole lot different/more interesting than they are as Alliance. Smiley: tongue

I've done Outland and most of Northrend a few times so the idea of leveling by just healing AV and instances sounds really appealing.

If you haven't gone through Outland/Northrend at least once I strongly recommend it, especially Northrend. Outland gets more interesting in the zones you wont get into as you will be in Northrend by then thanks to faster leveling.

100% seconded. Leveling via AV is amazing.

Once I hit 60 I was annoyed, I'm SO burned out on BC. I only have 2 80's and a 60 DK but the quests are ALL THE SAME and I just exalted most of BC on my mage. Then I did AV, FUN!

The problem is my main playing time (2am-4pm or so intermittently) is horde domination. When I say domination I mean 40 horde vs 15-20 allies, EVERY TIME. The exp from losing with 0 caps = worthless. Spent a good 3 hours in AV and got ~30k exp. Basically, questing >>>>>>>> AV.

But once night time hits, BAM 40v40 and Allies steamroll.

Last night was awesome,
Total Healing
HK's
Honor

Full toppage FTW. I love Disc, enjoy it >:D

I also love destroying the healing meters as Disc in AV. Just makes me happy.

I wish I'd taken a screenie the other day of the healing done. I has a bit over 300k and the next highest guy horde or alliance was 180k. I got 2 300k+ healing in AV over the weekend. Was so happy.

We summoned Ivus twice over the weekend.

I'm going to level into the 71-80 bracket soon. Not looking forward to it as I am used to being very hard to kill when I have buttons to push.

Self reply.

Well while 70 AV was nice, I am looking forward to IoV and SotA.

Still have a bit to go.
