Huge news – and perhaps in response to the community being pissed off about the low rate of valor collection – the rewards will be boosted in maintenance today – from 25 to 40 VPs per kill. Wow Insider has the skinny, twitter post from GhostCrawler, and patch notes.
Normal and Heroic raid encounters in Mogu’shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, and Terrace of Endless Spring now award 40 Valor, up from 25. This will take effect after the weekly reset.
Wow. Excellent!
What does it mean? Well for a start raiders have a reason to spin through a clear of Mogu’shun Vaults for Valor instead of doing dailies. 240 VP per clear is far better than 150.
Also in this patch is the Spirit Kings appearing in a set order – interesting. Was it enough of an issue that folks found it hard? A particular order did not seem to be more difficult. No more than the selection of Doggies in the 3 Dogs fight being sometimes a pain.
Happy Killing.

The Spirit Kings issue was “fishing”. There’s one or two combinations which are considered easier than the others, so people were just resetting the fight until they got their desired combination.
Inevitable consequence of randomness in raiding (as I predicted).
heh, seems viable that if the encounter allows for reset and random that it will always be gamed. I didn’t mind that part of the random.
