Hi guys. Just a quick little video to show you what I like to do in between my BG queues or while I'm waiting for Tol Barad to pop.

At Lion's Landing, there are rare spawns ( http://oi50.tinypic.com/213ev.jpg ) that drop a item ( Honorable Commendation of the Dominance Offensive - Item - World of Warcraft ) which awards you with 250 honor on use. They are pretty difficult to solo, so with a help of a few "friends" a Mage can easily 3-4 shot them.

The Shieldwall Vindicators around that area put a self buff up called "Seal of Righteousness" which is spellstealable, AND stackable. It lasts a very long time so it will give you a nice window to stack 3-4 of them before taking on the rare spawn.

Once you got those buffs, head over to the rare spawn and just smack em around. They should drop very quickly and you should be able to loot your free 250 honor. All in time for your queue pop. As an added bonus, these spawns also drop Blood-Soaked Invitations for the brawlers guild!

Anyways, I know its not much but I hope you all enjoy!

Doesn't work for Alliance, mobs appear friendly.

Correct. Sorry, I should have prefaced that.

Also, if the area looks completely different for you, then you may need to do the pre requisite phasing quests. It will most likely already be in your quest log since blizzard forces you to take it on login ever since 5.1 hit.

if they are rare spawns it doesn't sound like a quick honor farm. or am i missing something.

There are 3 mobs. They have ~30-45 minute respawn times. I specifically said in the original post that this is what I do in between queues and while I'm waiting for TB to pop. It is VERY quick honor. It's just not going to be your main source. It's essentially free.

This is more of a guide than an exploit... the commendations are working as intended because you get PVP flagged even on PVE servers for attacking... Not an exploit, but a useful guide on a way to maximize potential honor. Not a bad way to snag a brawler's pass either.

Some might argue the "exploit" is the fact that you can spellsteal the same buff off of 3 different mobs and have it stack (I think this is unintended but I could be wrong)

Considering the alliance have 3 mirrored rare spawns in the horde base, I'd assume there are mobs there with the same buff. My mage is only 83 but if someone wants to check domination point then this might work for alliance as well.

Edit: After doing some research, I have found that Reliquary Bloodknight uses the same buff that I assume can also be spell stolen, the problem is that there is none at domination point, they're all in the middle and on the alliance side so its considerably more inconvenient for alliance to do this.

You can also use a banner ( Battle Standard of Coordination - Item - World of Warcraft ) with these marks. Combined with the guild perk you will be looking at ~312 honor per click. Not bad for just killing a rare in 5 hits between a queue.
