Changes in Alterac Valley
There have been some changes to AV in the latest 3.2.2 patch, including some which were originally intended for 3.3, therefore flew under the radar. Here is a complete list of the changes to Alterac Valley which have now been implemented in 3.2.2:
- Level 80 characters now have their own AV bracket, meaning levels 70-79 now have their own bracket.
- The XP reward for the 70-79 bracket has been considerably increased.
- Heirloom items now correctly increase the XP reward in battleground as originally intended.

Following some realm restarts, raiders can expect a small change in some encounters, listed below:
- The Val’kyr Twins will now heal for more in Heroic difficulties and ignore any heal dampening effects.
- Koralon now pauses after casting Blazing Embers before casting Burning Breath.
- Relcaimed Thunderstrike and Reinforced Thunderstrike will now properly grant attack power to druids in Cat Form, Bear Form, and Dire Bear Form as listed in the item tooltip.
