AQ Modifiers Mix and Match

We're trying to work out the effect of choosing AQ modifiers from different tiers on different days.

One resource I've seen suggests we'll score more Honour points using Heroic modifiers for all 5 days than we would using Master modifiers on day 1 & 2, and Heroic modifiers for days 3 -5.

I can't find anything that gives clarification though - can anyone help?

Thanks - this is the resource I was referring to, but we have some disagreement in our Alliance as to the interpretation.

We do Map 5. So if we were to do a Master modifier on Day 1 & 2 and a Heroic modifier on days 3 - 5 I take it to mean we would earn:

Day 1 - Master buff 1: 800
Day 2 - Master buff 2: 1200
Day 3 - Heroic buff 1: 700
Day 4 - Heroic buff 2: 1050
Day 5 - Heroic buff 3: 1400

Total: 5150.

As opposed to:

Day 1 - Heroic buff 1: 700
Day 2 - Heroic buff 2: 1050
Day 3 - Heroic buff 3: 1400
Day 4 - Heroic buff 4: 1750
Day 5 - Heroic buff 5: 2100

Total: 7000

Some in our team are reading the table to mean Day 1 - 5 where it reads Buff 1 -5, hence our confusion.

We don't want to risk increasing the difficulty if it means earning fewer points obviously, and can't reach a consensus.

If clarity could be given it would save us much arguing.

@Superdavev1 it would be 800/1200/1400/1750/2100 if you ran AQ Map 5 with Modifiers as Master/Master/Heroic/Heroic/Heroic.
That would give a total of 7250 honour per BG. Total would be 21750.
Also, that's just honour points. Running Master first two days would give you higher total points overall as well.

If that's the case I'm reading the table headers too literally 🤦‍♂️.

Appreciate your help @KnightZero, thank you👍

Yep, the columns going across are for “Unique Successful Buffs/Modifiers” (per BG), and do NOT go back to points column 1 just because you switch Modifier Difficulty or even which Map is used for that BG.

And if you re-use a same Modifier one day that you had “successfully” already used (by that BG) earlier in the week, then you just stay in that same column's points for another day. (ie, you use same modifier on day-5 as you used earlier on day-2, you would stay in “Buff-4” column points for that final day, assuming all others were different and all were successful).
