Right then.. I have tried EVERY technique offered to defeat the Valiant, shields up, chase him, run away, spam each and every sequence of keys.. I've tried again and again over several months.. and CANNOT defeat him. I give up, and yes I do have latency problems and tried the advice and different method(s) given to overcome this.
So, because I cannot continue with the quest chain.. my question is: Is there an alternative way to get Argent Crusade to Exalted? How critical is this quest chain? I have reached Honored 4838/12000.. I am about to go searching for more quests that give rep outside of this chain, and I do have the Tabard to wear in dungeons.
Any advice on the BEST method of progressing to Exalted will be much appreciated. Thank you.
The tournament is not really the only way to get exalted with the Argent Crusade, there should be a tabard you can buy from their quartermaster that nets you reputation for kills in 80 dungeons. I also think their might be dailies for them too, not sure.

If your just up against the Aspirants.... don't worry about shielding, just hug them and smack them; it will take a while, but eventually they'll go down.

mm.. I think it's my lag problem that makes this impossible? I seem to be half-dead by the time I even get the first 'smack' in. While he is clearly highlighted as my focus/target.. I am getting messages that say 'invalid target' 'too close' 'too far away' etc.. and my own health disappears far too quickly while these messages are appearing. The best I have managed to get him down to is 63%..
thanks anyway
D.
I have noticed this kind of thing as well, however ONLY when riding a joust vehicle. "Target too close" "Target too far away" etc. It appears there is lag but again, it's only when riding a joust vehicle. But I make due, and try my best and it's only an issue if I let my shields get too low.
My strategy:
Keep your own shields maxed.
Stay on your opponent and spam 1.
When the opponent runs away, don't follow. Instead Charge (3) him.
Circle around and repeat.
Don't worry if your opponent re-shields.
Important note:
button 1 does not share a cooldown with the others.
This means you can re-shield yourself easily without delaying your melee attacks.
Also, if you need to re-shield yourself while your opponent runs away you can either Charge (3) first and re-shield (4) while you circle around back to him, or you can re-shield and skip Charging by manually following him to bridge the gap between you two (so he can't throw a spear or charge you).
Good luck.

Exactly what the poster above said, that is solid advice there. Just a little tip to add from me - every time you use Charge you can get a free swing in by spamming "1" as you charge through them. If you then wheel around, you can get a spear throw in right as you close with them for another Thrust.

is this serious?
Aspirants are loleasy, it's actually so unchallenging that for me not to fall asleep i try to kill all the champions and aspirants without healing in-between, seriously man, it's %^&* easy
Are you serious? That's the best post you could come up with? Noone cares that you can do something that most other people can do with no problems either. The OP, however, has latency problems and was asking for advice.

Yes, which still makes your post worthless. All you have added to the discussion is "lol its easy lol I can do it easy lol".

Okay so I'm epic failz at trying to joust....the only way I can pass any kind of jousting is to have someone else dot them while i keep hacking away, I don't know if it was cause I had a super slow computer with a high latency and low fps, just got a new pc and I am going to try it legit today, but it works quite well and easy to have someone else dot the target while you keep aggro!

Just a guess here, but its possible the OP is using satellite internet.
I used to be stuck with WildBlue sat for highspeed, and the tourney is nearly impossible to do. The delay is so bad, that by the time you "see" them walk/run away, they have already stopped and charged you.
Just a suggestion that worked for me. WoW is actually playable on dial-up with low graphic settings. You are somewhat limited by what you can do (5 mans and *some* 10 mans are possible), but the lag is actually pretty low, usually somewhere in the 150-200ms range.

okeyyyyyy, 7 easy steps to win em:
1) put 3 layers of defence up
2) speak,DO NOT MOVE
3)spam charge, when they get into range you will insta-charge em
4) turn around asap and throw a shield breaker
5)run to him and spam 1
6) when he runs away charge again
7) repeat steps
with a good connection you can kill all champions and aspirants without healing, with a bad connection you can win aspirants and have 2/3rds of your hp and a champion and still have half hp
this is exactly what I do, even makes the commanders for the daily Battle for the Citadel a breeze

Yep, this is exactly what I do too. Like Murrdurr, it's also how I solo Commanders. The version I listed above was just simplified since the OP is having latency issues and I wanted to make it less demanding regarding cooldowns and button-watching.
