Alterac Valley - Not too bad today 2/28/10

I have been trying to stay away from Alterac Valley lately because the Alliance is doing so bad in there, but today I tried a couple and we seemed to be doing pretty good. Brieanna ended up fighting in 16 battles for Alterac Valley, 11 wins and 5 losses. That is a vast improvement to how the Alliance has been doing in there lately.

Most of our losses were failed Blitz's. People still want to zerg Drek, but they don't bother to check and see if we have a tank and heals until we all get there. By all I mean half the team on a good try. When someone says they want to zerg before the gate goes up I always ask if we have a tank and heals for that. Half the time no one responds and I say don't zerg, we don't have a tank or heals, but when the gate goes up the cry "ZERG! ZERG! ZERG!" goes up and we're off. Usually to a loss. Time and time again the same people will do this and fail time and time again. Another problem is Galv. Galv is a tard magnet, people can not just ride by him, they have to go in and try to kill him. Usually the Horde packs his room full because they know they can wipe the group that tries, and usually they do. Galv has caused more zerg and Blitz fails than anything else.

We did have good groups for the most part and did manage to pull off a couple Blitz's and a few zergs. The difference between a Blitz and a zerg is the time. A Blitz is over in 6 minutes or less and a zerg we usually just kill Drek with all towers up but it takes more than 6 minutes. We had a couple battles where the Horde tried to turtle. AV is set up to the Hordes advantage in a turtle but it doesn't always work out for them, especially when we have a good group like we did today. I got hundreds of kills in each of those battles and did over 3/4 of a million damage in each. My damage is going up more and more with each new piece of gear I get. I usually do battlegrounds in Survival spec and it is good for some good damage and a lot of killing blows.
