A new premade strategy? A brilliant new premade strategy!



So what you do is this:

Dispatch 2 groups to Aid Station, ideally 7 Rogues and 3 Resto Druids, but really whatever best group you can muster.

Dispatch 2 groups to guard the Iceblood chokepoint. It must not fall! And no one can get by. Designate 2 or 3 good players to fall back to RH if ninjas slip through.

Dispatch 2 groups to guard Drek. Again, no falling! It's amusingly easy to keep Drek up with 10 people guarding him.

Everyone else kills Bal, then helps with offense.

Do not cap any graveyards other than Aid Station. Period. It ruins everything.

We ran this strategy 5 consecutive times today. The least bonus honor we got was over 600, plus much more HK-honor than usual. The most bonus honor the Alliance got was 63. The Allies were like deer about to be hit by a big, angry truck. They ran singly into our focused defensive groups, tried without success to ninja random objectives, and eventually settled for some HK-farming at Stonehearth Graveyard.

It is slower than the typical northern-tower recap strategy. Somewhat. But don't you Hordies out there want the satisfaction of completely shutting the Alliance out? After all, For The Horde is no empty phrase! It's a rallying cry to pwn those Alliance carebears! We've got ugly, angry, and dangerous down.

Let's implement some organized.

but how do you manage to convince a horde team to do anything other than whatever the hell they feel like at the time?

Think you made a typo there. You said 2 groups to defend Drek - and I'm guessing that you meant Galv.

As an Alliance player, sounds like a perfectly sound strategy to me. It is notoriously difficult to convince the Alliance to group up and break through a Horde bottle-neck, or really do anything to combat a good strategy.
