Drek Pulls Without Warmasters Aggroing

Alliance are able to pull and kill Drek without aggroing the Warmasters. This bug gives them a significant advantage since aggroing Vann pulls all of their Commanders.

How are they doing this?? I have never seen it

They kill him in the doorway of his keep. I saw them pull him and not the 2 warmasters that were standing with him. They can also pull 1 warmaster at a time where horde get 2 and Vann (out to the doorway) every time.

This is the explanation I wanted. I have seen Alliance zerg a win that didn’t seem possible to me - no towers, and they weren’t in the keep long enough to burn any warmasters.

Huh, I didn’t even know that was possible… INTERESTING…

They can also pull the warmasters outside all the way behind the outside of dreks building in the back corner of the clearing.

Here’s a screenshot of them killing Drek without the original warmasters being pulled.

Not to complain or anything but the Horde base / towers are inadequacy built to meet equal standards with the alliance on difficulty. Drek’s room is small and crowded easily to exploit while Van’s room is full of living space he could move in his entire family in that room and still have plenty of space and leave’s less error and judgement for exploiting because the position of Van and the Marshals are along the far back wall

Let’s not forget that accounting for the above. Horde can also just back door jump into Ally’s base, ignoring EVERYTHING up to that point.

Horde can also pull Van without any of his marshals…

Except tower archers reach the GY flag and 20 elite hp level mobs at the GY to deal with.

Have a video or pic? I haven’t seen this yet as the marshals are to close and aggro. Even pulling the marshals they come in 2s or 3s.

It can happen, seen a rogue vanish to pull, alliance can do the same but have an easier time doing so because of the wall

This is a serious problem for the balance in AV. The alliance are able to solo pull Drek and kill him in 10 minutes of an AV starting without capping ANY towers and without any time for their towers to be capped to have extra warmasters spawning to counter this tactic.

Due to this it is not at all reasonable to queue into AV to wait 15+ minutes in a queue that alliance have an instant queue for and will win within 10 minutes, every time as they can just brainlessly zerg to the boss and kill it.

This needs to be fixed or NO horde will be playing AV due to the serious balancing issues with this.

BUMP FIX THIS. While I haven’t seen horde do this, fix it for horde too if it is a thing it’s stupid. Can’t actually play the game… 20 minute ques to lose in 8 minutes such bs.

They are doing it with snowballs, yes?

They love to ignore that part, but hey why inform them of this when we can continue to win because of their ignorance.

I did not ignore that part if you read my previous post. But I’ve played many AVs and haven’t seen horde do this a single time. Even if we can, it should be fixed because it’s bs. You should have to kill all the marshals or warmasters first OR have to tank them while killing either boss. Either way fix the game. And no, Alliance were doing this before the snowballs were added.

Did you know that there is a back door to relief hut where alliance (or anyone) can just slow fall down to the flag from the mountainside behind it?

The difference between the pulls is we have to have a rogue vanish and a hunter pull. you can just pull him outright without anyone aggroing anything. There is a significant difference between the 2.

May as well just go with the 1.5 to 1.10 version of AV that’s superior if you’re going to go the whole “Changes” rout.

This would accomplish 2 things…

It would make WSG superior for “Honor grind” players over AV.

Second it would eliminate the above exploit as a means to clear the content because the BG is just different and BETTER!

It’s a Win - Win for everyone… Well it’s a bit time loss for the solo rank grinders as they would never be able to keep up with pre-made groups any more.
