So i was looking at mmo champion which has the test center patch notes and came across this. Now I usually don't comment, in writing, about many changes but this one caught my eye.
PvP
* The amount of Honor awarded for an Honorable Kill has been increased by 100% for characters of all levels. Given that all avenues in the game which award players with Honor do so with a calculated conversion from a specific amount of Honorable Kills, this change means that all Honor players can obtain through various means will be increased by 100%. To offset against this in two key areas, experience gains in Battlegrounds have been reduced by 50% and Honor awarded for completing each Wintergrasp weekly quest has been reduced by 50%. When pairing the Honor rewarded from Honorable Kills being increased by 100% with the 50% Honor reduction from Wintergrasp weekly quests, and 50% experience-gain reduction from completing objectives in Battlegrounds, players will notice no change in the net amount of Honor or experience awarded in either case.
Now as a dps class, this looks really good as more Honor is a good thing.....but as a healer (which blizz has nerfed in pvp lately from the different notes I have been keeping up with) this is absolute horsecrap. Most of my honor healing was gained from the bonus xp from completing the BG's/WG.....thats all being reduced 50% and going to PVP KILLS.....just makes me sit back and shake my head and go...WTF blizz, do you want healers in this game or not
