It's usually very hard to kite a warrior as a BM hunter. We have 18 seconds of free movement but it takes a long time to kill a warrior while kiting and he'll eventually be able to catch you, hamstring and rip your head off. Also, snake traps are very risky against a warrior as the snakes give him a lot of rage. It's usually better to use a frost or ice trap (although most people can trinket out of those nowadays).

On the AV boycott: from what I’ve heard from friends it’s not just losing that makes them sit out AV but also:

*the imbalance of honor gained when Alliance loses now, as opposed to when Horde lost pre-2.3

*An influx of AFKers that Blizzard does nothing about

*Disgust at other players’ unwillingness to even try strategy.

Is there an easy way to judge when your still in shot range yet out of intercept range? I tend to wonder into intercept range trying to get a shot off.

I play on maelstrom, and have been hearing rumours as to the top alliance guilds on our battlegroup using a ui mod to all queue up for AV at the same time. Now, I have seen abnormally large amounts of Alliance from the same server in the same AV before, but I dont know how much stock I put into the ui mod and all that.

On Horde-side Whirlwind the wait is almost always less than a minute for any BG these days. AV weekend is like a revolving door fer us. Me team has found that the 10-19 WSG Horde queues on Retaliation is nearly as fast, but 10-19 Alliance on Emberstorm (BRK's neck of the woods) normalies is 15-30 minutes. Anybody know a solid explanation as to why? I’s amazified by the queue time variations people experiences. On Horde-side Whirlwind the wait is almost always less than a minute for any BG these days.

All the logic and numbers are great, but your story telling abilities are what keeps me coming back. In reality, the stories are also a great learning tool. If I'm ever taking down a horde warrior with a pally interrupt I'll know what to do. Your stories are hands down my favorite part of your site.

Once in awhile it will be a little longer, but I do remember when it used to take upto and hour to que up for AV pre-patch 1.8. I used to do my laundry inbetween battles :), lol really. Now I cant even get up and get a drink or run for a bio without queing. Blizz always said it was because of the Horde to Alliance ratio, but that was when it was just server and not Battle Group. I do have a thought that if your with the same qued grp and win and you keep on winning you want to stay with that grp. I have had waited (ie, lol bio or laundry) and come back, qued up and some how got in a losening grp. Dont know how or why but it sure does seems that way. I get a pre-made about twice a weekend, I just grind thru the first one but if it happens again, right after the previous one, I just afk out and take the time out. I would still like to see Pre-made agaist Pre-made, but it's was supposed to be based on your armour and equipment (at least for the lvl 70s). not sure what it is now :). gratz on the win Galor, Maggie and Rex Wow, for Vindication Battle Group the wait times are less then 5 mins most of the time.
