I won a WSG 3-0 day before yesterday with 6 rogues. At first I was like plain This is going to suck. But when you put 4 rogues as defense/efc snipes and then the other two with your single warrior and single healer...it worked well! The other team thinks there's only the healer and the flag runner but out pop two rogues to destroy you and the rest of the team coming up to support.

Coordination. That's what wins.

This is all that has ever been needed.

Good thing no one at blizzard actually plays this game, they might figure out how to make it an actual challenge for pre-mades grin

Avoid the scrum in the middle of the map UNLESS a flag carrier is involved. If a flag carrier is involved in the scrum ALWAYS enter the fight.

Lately... I on my 74 mage... I have just started killing as much of the enemy through the middle that they take notice of me and only me. I then kite the 8 opposing players that are trying to kill me as far away from my flag runner as possible so they can cap.

This strategy has now worked 6 out of the last 7 matches :P

AFK and collect reward - you get rewarded whether you win, lose, or don't even play. BGs are stupid that way. PvP (at least this kind of PvP) is hard!

If you play seriously, winning doesn't matter. If you shall lose, then lose in glory and die a hero's death...!

Camp the opposing team's graveyard while your flag runner caps.

I watched wargames this weekend. I will quote the computer "the only winning move is not to play"
