Observations from leading AV for Alliance in the past 2 weeks

I’ve seen 2 rogues burn East and West tower. There is not a 0% chance a 5 man team takes a tower or GY.

Galv can work in some situations, but not the situation we are talking about: a 5 man team, completely isolated. I don’t care how amazing your tank is. It’s very easy to land an interrupt on the healer and then focus damage into the tank while the healer is locked out. If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it 100 times.

I can tell you right now, as a horde playing defense, I know where I would rather encounter a 5 man alliance team - on Galv.

You really don’t understand what an amazing defensive position horde buildings give to people inside them. You will not be getting at a healer without making it past 3 dps players and if by some miracle you do kick him, Galv can be stunned or disarmed reducing his out put to all of like, 100dps. So its you attempting to burst a tank down in what, 10 seconds? While being focused by four players? I’d love to see you manage that against any capable team.

Yeah, maybe 5 months ago before horde started playing full scorched earth. I’d love to see you get a friend and try it today though.

Counterspell has a 30 yard range, my dude. It’s not hard.

472

Good luck getting around the LoS safely while 3 people are training you and still being in a position to blow up the tank whos got 6k hp and no other incoming damage.

473

Literally did it last night.

474

If you managed to do it to those 5 people, they had 0 chance of holding down any other objective. Galv is the easiest thing you can take.

475

I disagree. There are multiple other objectives that aren’t guarded by a boss.

476

Galv isn’t guarded by a boss. He is the boss. Every other objective is guarded by a boss, save E/W frostwolf towers, but those are at the horde recall point.

477

Yes, he is the boss. You have to kill him, and he calls for help the instant you aggro him.

GYs are guarded by 4 guards and one lieutenant. All are very easy to kill. The Lieutenant is duoable by any 2 classes, soloable by some.

Towers are guarded by a lieutenant and no guards, and the archers can be LoSed while you kill the Lt.

All Lts are significantly easier than Galv, and none of them announce to our team when you engage them.

478

No SF, no win, simple, get used to it, SF is and always was the key but I gave up to teach boneheads.

479

Yep, all of that is true, doesn’t make holding down a tower or GY easier than killing galv.

480

Well, please keep sending isolated 5 mans to Galv then, particularly if you see me on the scoreboard.

481

At this point, doing something, anything other than sitting SH would throw the horde off.

482

Do you know if they ever release a patch for AV to stop both factions from rezing at their caves unless they control no graveyard? Was that ever implemented?

483

Sure thing, we will all rush IBGY or SFGY and still lose cuz cave Rez. Hey atleast we changed the way we lost tho!

484

You have bunkers and bosses that need defending and towers and bosses to burn and kill. There’s some pvp involved. You figure it out.

485

Sure let me get on that.

486

Im happy to point out that even though you’ve decided to carry this burden it ultimately does not rest with you.

And thank god for that.

487

Yeah, in 2.3.0.

I submitted a bug report on the bug report forums though about cave respawn behavior, as I do believe rezzing at the horde cave instead of FWGY is incorrect, and rezzing at the Alliance cave instead of the AS is wrong as well. I have a hunch that “home turf” GYs should be taking precedent over the cave, but currently it seems they aren’t. Hopefully Blizz will look into it.
