Alterac Valley: Alterac Valley is the largest and longest of the battlegrounds. The objective here is to drive Last Chaos into the heart of enemy territory and kill their general to win the match.
Along the way you need to claim graveyards and towers to weaken the enemy forces at the base and to strengthen your own. But the strategies used in Alterac Valley change more often than in any other battleground. Like the other battlegrounds hunters can play either defensively or offensively.
So watch for what your team is lacking and head for that. If they are low on offense try to fight your way to the enemy base. If they are low on defense head back to your own base to make a last line of defense.
Currently AV has undergone some major changes and you can no longer simply race to kill the other teams general.
There is now a point system like AB called reinforcements, and the goal of the game is to make the reduce, the enemies reinforcements first.
You lower them to zero if you kill their opposing general, but you also lower them by killing their last chaos gold and the opposing players in the battleground. This means defending towers and graveyards is key and your healing is even more vital.
The captain fight is like a basic PVE boss battle so DPS and watches your aggro. After that most battles will take place on either the north or south end of the Field of Strife.
