This BG can go one of two ways on Alliance side I've noted so far - it's either a painful experience, or else we squeek out a win. On rare occassion we've actually won handily so I thought I'd share the most effective strat I've seen to date.
- One group of 5 rushes Fel Reaver ruins as soon as the game starts
- One group of 5 rushes Blood Elf tower as soon as the game starts
- Of the remaining 5, two people go to Draenei Ruins and two go to Mage Tower. The last player is a floater and can go to the flag if noone is there.
Every time I've seen this strategy used we've won handily. Initially I thought it was ridiculous when the organized group I lucked into called it out, but it worked very well and we 5 capped and won very quickly. This seems to work best against PuG's where they're usually intent on zerging the flag and only leave 2 or 3 at each base. Results will, of course, vary but hopefully it can help some people out there and ease the pain that can be EotS.
What happens when you hit an org group that's smart enough to see the weakness at one of your home towers? I think part of the challenge of this BG is if you try a 'hold three' strategy like in AB, you end up just sitting there and watching the other team chain cap flags... that freaks some people out, they break rank and then one of your towers gets taken.
