To remain sane I highly recommend doing some Icecrown daily (airship/tournament) as a break since you'll be able to mow down mobs with no effort, and try not to push/rush too much to avoid a burnout. Those dailies are worth 20k~ EXP.
Fuck archaeology.
I love TB now, its honor trading lol. I got capped honor in one day. And just doing 2 TB's a day is 3,780 honor for 10 minutes of work. I wonder how long Blizz will let this go on, and I can't believe they didn't think this would happen. It's obviously a band-aid fix for the moment, but it's such a poorly designed band-aid that I'm floored it passed the QA team
EDIT: NVM, was way off on what was going on.
How do you do the bridge trick? How close do you have to be?
Someone said that I needed to be close enough for the map to switch, but that just got me ported out. -_-
It's so hard to get into a TB game even if I camp the join timer on my server.
You camp the bridge and have somebody (a friend, guildie, w/e) tell you when its about to end, and then you run in and get credit before you get ported out. It's harder to tell for if your atk'ing, but when the 3rd tower is about to be capped you just keep running in/out. The reason ppl camp at the bridge is because thats the zone line and makes it easier to walk in and out before getting ported
IoC just should get taken out of the game, I swear they can never get anything right for that bg. Decided to random it up on my 83 pali and the current strat in that bracket is to break the wall then farm the other side on resources. why? because the boss still 1 shots tanks like crazy...it can be done, but the chances of you having an extremely well geared 84 tank that can handle it is rare.
Fucking trinkets. Just hit 85 on my warlock. Still using ICC trinkets (including the healer trinket off 10m Marrowgar) because NOT A SINGLE ONE HAS BEEN FOUND WHILE QUESTING OR IN DUNGEONS. I've cleared all but HoO on my way to 85 as well. I'm at 315 ilvl despite having two ilvl 251 trinkets, pretty much any trinkets would've given me enough to hit heroics at 85...
Battle Raise bug aggravates me so much. So.. according to a blue... your only allowed to BR once per attempt in 10 mans. But it's bugged so, unless you fully log out of the game or (just did both, didn't try one or other) remove yourself from the raid, you can't use BR again for that entire encounter.. doesn't matter how many times you wipe. It's so gay and annoying. I have no idea why its lasted this long, that's a pretty big fuckin bug right there
Yep, I managed to get Ahnuurs Hymnal eventually and am now using Harmlight Token, I feel really bad for vendoring my Phylactery of the Nameless Lich though because I'm pretty sure it is better than Harmlight Token. Same goes for the other caster in my guild, using H DFO and Ahnuurs Hymnal and we have both been 85 since like day 3 and run heroics every day.
I use it as a Shadow Priest because it's a nice chunk of haste, plus the 300 sp is about equal to whatever 200-300~ intellect trinket I'd be using instead.
idk I'd rather sacrifice haste for something with hit and sp then reforge to haste elsewhere.

edit: don't get me wrong I actually use gale on sp too but only because I replaced my icc trinket with it (which in some respects I think the icc one was better but oh well). It wasn't a goal for me though and I want to replace it as soon as I managed to get a hit trinket to drop. D:
just did tb for the first time since the change and lol @ it.
I don't think what you said would work though because then the defenders would just stand somewhere else.
imo they could have fixed it better by winning the game by capping 2/3 instead of all 3. Lot harder to turtle two points than one.
