Alterac Valley Primer

[Ynir]

1. There is always someone in AV yelling "don't loot the dogs!" The point being, the dogs in Drek's bastion will reset when looted.

From what I've seen and read, the dogs respawn on a timer, or when Drek is reset by pulling him outside the bastion. Looting them does not affect the respawn time.

2. The dogs are thought to drop epics more frequently than other NPCs.

Any observations about these issues? Is looting/resetting in AV different than anywhere else?

3. I constantly am advised to wait for the towers to cap before pulling warmasters from Drek's bastion. The point being, there will be two fewer warmasters to pull after the towers are capped.

I ignore this advice, and pull the warmasters as soon as we have cleared the nearest graveyard. Killing warmasters takes less time than waiting for towers to cap. Waiting for towers to cap gives defenders more time to regroup. Any thoughts on this point?
