Strategies for various Alliance battlegrounds

AB: Get to the opposite team's starting gate. Farm AFKers by yourself. There are usually 1-2 per game (especially if you play late at night) and you get 20 honor per kill if you are doing it by yourself. It doesnt help you win, but it cuts down the number of times you have to do AV for honor points.

EotS: Groups 1&2 go to fel reaver, group 3 goes to Mage tower. Someone in group 1 or 2 will fail to listen and cap DR for you. (Harness the inability to listen, the cats will herd themselves) A 3 cap right away demoralizes the other team enough that even if your next strategy move doesnt work, you can usually pull it back together.

WSG: Get a premade.

AV: Figure out who your healers are on the way to RH. Do not let anyone cap FWGY. Once RH is capped figure out if you have the tanks/healers to take on drek with towers still up. If yes, just tank it all. If no, wait for towers.

Overall: Get into a 5v5 arena team. Heck, start your own and invite 4 different people each week, just always do your 10 games. You get more points at 1200 rating in a 5v5 than you do at 1450 in a 2v2.

Premade lol.

But herp pretty much covered it. I usually only PvP when im holy and if im pugging it them i just find the best geared and run around trying to keep them alive >.<

for the non-AV BGs I generally just PuG it and deal with it.

The best way to get marks is if you can get a losing pre-made and just lose each game in under 5 minutes. You get more honor doing this on holidays for WSG, but EotS and AB don't give additional honor for doing nothing on holidays.

AV seems Alliance dominated for Reckoning. EotS is evenly split, and I've avoided WSG and AB successfully.

i've heard thru a few sources that blizz looks down on premades that lose intentionally and even threatened a temp ban if caught doing it. I have nothing to back this up or anything but just figured i'd throw it out there. Not saying i haven't done it either ><

Doesn't everyone's team always lose? I'm Horde, and if I'm in a PuG, it's not like there's any strange aura that makes us work together and not be retarded. We generally lose, as far as I know (perhaps it's just me :O).

I have a friend who plays Alliance, and I play Horde. Both of us are in Bloodlust, and we both swear on our accounts that our side NEVER wins EotS. So I'm kinda inclined to agree with Modus (/gasp).
