The team that does better damage and heals usually wins. (Certain DPS specs do well in this brawl but a few of them on one team can’t be expected to carry the whole team.)
For games where damage and heals are about equal, then it could well come down to which team is better at survival and CC.
Other things that will obviously impact on the outcome:
- Gear (RNG)
- Group composition (e.g. too many tanks, too few healers, lotta melee)
- Too many players who think it’s fine to keep charging in and dying repeatedly
- Lag (sad but true)
Given all that, I approach the brawl as just a regular large-scale team fight where the DPS does their best to DPS down/pick off targets, especially healers, while at the same time avoiding dying as much as possible. Healers gotta keep the raid up. And tanks - I guess they mainly ‘disrupt’ but they better stay alive or they’re useless IMO. Anyway, not sure why any other special strat would be needed.

Whoever has the most aoe ranged spam wins, due to lag making actual combat near impossible.

Yeah, the lag is real.
I’m just wondering if people think the brawl has any more complex strat. IMO it doesn’t.

The team with more melee is going to lose for the most part . I wonder why melee even sign up to this.
Because conquest points.
I don’t like Ashran for the same reason. Melee are about usless in these AoE food fights.
There are other more enjoyable ways to fill the CQ bar . If I was playing melee I would never sign up for this . Unless you are some kind of masochist.
Edit:- Also probably why the queue times are so long . Melee must not be signing up .
There is also some strategy tied into it as well.
For instance, when I saw that my raid was starting to fall faster than the Alliance was, I ordered a pullback to “just outside of TM” to regroup, rebuff, and refeast.
This paid out greatly as, after we did so, we were able to push back against the Alliance with extra vigor, and secure our leading position.
So yeah, sometimes just throwing yourself at the opposing team and hoping for the best is not the best strategy. You gotta have some sort of competent leadership who knows how to reorganize, move the group, and attack to maintain a competitive advantage.
