| It is crucial you dont stop to defend IBGY or pick on the horde players that might pass through here. Now your objective is FWGY. Rush FWGY, and capture the flag. But make sure you leave atleast 4 to 5 players there to defend FWGY. ... while others rush to Frostwolf Keep. f you loose FWGY, before you have captured Frostwolf relief hut (FWRH), then you are turtled. Because you wont get reinforcements in time as players will have to ride all the way from IBGY. 90% chance is that now you will have to recall back to Dun Baldar to defend Stormpike Firstaid Station (SPFS) because by this time, horde will have captured SPGY. If you get turtled at SPFS...you have a 85% chance of loosing the AV. Because all you have is one GY (SPFS), and any experienced horde player will know to collect the equivalent of "storm crystals" and hand them in and summon Lokholar the ice Lord upon us. With Lokholar at the gates, and all defense at SPFS, its just a matter of minutes before you loose. It is very important that you move fast in to FW Keep and get on to Drek'Thar ASAP, because Horde uses an exploit by which they dont aggro the Alliance WMs and can directly move on to Vanguard Stormpike and kill him. So if alliance and horde have both captured FWRH and SPFS at the same time, chances are Horde might win. So to get to Drek'thar ASAP and considering the exploit, lets consider some possibilities: 1) You are able to hold on to FWGY. : Best case scenario. Then move forward to FW Keep and take the 2 towers, and the FWRH and draw the WM's and the wolves one by one and kill them and move on to Drek'Thar and you win. Easy as pie if you have a couple of lvl 60 warriors who know what they are doing. There have been cases when Alliance held FWRH and horde still hadnt captured SPGY ... but the lack of a good tank (lvl 60 warrior) resulted in a loss. Because the wolves and WM's respawn if alliance is beaten back in the assault on the keep. Keep healing the warriors and dps to the max...and victory is yours. 2) You are not able to hold FWGY, and horde has captured SPGY. This is terrible. you wont be able to capture and hold FWRH ... horde will recall to FW keep and they have home turf advantage. Since your reinforcements have to ride all the way from IBGY, chances are you will need to recall to turtle. If alliance looses FWGY without capturing FWRH, then stop the assault, and just concentrate on getting FWGY ASAP. Horde will soon be massing up to defend FWGY, so speed is of the essence. once FWGY is captured, a few people, preferably warlocks will need to recall back to dun baldar and defend at the bridge between dunbaldar and SPGY. Infernals are awesome at this point. Let loose an infernal and make sure the lock walks to the rear. If the lock dies, so does the infernal. And the rest of the people need to push forward to FWRH and keep the assault going. 3) You loose FWGY, before capturing FWRH and then you are not able to recapture FWGY. Horde has a huge defense at FWGY, and horde holds SPGY. Well .... this is terrible, but not the end of the world. Now more people will need to recall to Dun Baldar, while a few guys will need to retreat and defend IBGY. And if they fail, fall back and defend Snowfall GY. In this case, while horde is attacking, and alliance is defending at the bridge between Dun Baldar and the SPGY, there is a distinct possibility that Horde will collect the equivalent of storm crystals and summon Lokholar the icelord. With Lokholar and a determined assault at the brridge, the chances of alliance winning... are virtually non-existent. There are 2 ways to break the turtle. a) Alliance will need to collect storm cyrstals ... hand them to the druid night elves near the tower. Location: when facing the bridge, there is a tower to your left. A small pathway leads north, and you will find elite druids of the grove assembled there. Hand in storm crystals to summon Vanus, the super tree monster / druid. Now the druids need to get to the field of Strife to summon Vanus. And they are elite lvl 60's. We dont care if they can summon vanus or not, what does matter is, they will break the choke hold and move forward to SPGY and attack. Back them up. This is the only way to recapture SPGY if you dont hold any other graveyards and are on the verge of loosing. Once you recapture SPGY, remember, horde now owns SHGY, dont even try to recapture it. Horde players killed at SPGY will now rezz at SHGY and move towards SPGY. |
