I had a crazy battle in Arathi Basin recently, where both sides had an obscene amount of healers that we couldn't kill anyone. I was fighting at the one bases the Horde had for 10 minutes and we couldn't kill each other.

Yeah, I can win Arathi Basin pretty regularly in pugs, but Eye of the Storm eludes me. It seems much more difficult to coordinate groups to capture towers, but I guess that's just the nature of pugs.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize that about the towers. Still, I just went through a group that started really well, then crashed and burned. Somehow, their dps skyrocketed halfway through the match. I don't know what happened. Also, what does being Alliance have to do with this BG? I've had...

What is the general strategy in the Eye of the Storm battleground? I understand the basics, like capturing bases, holding onto the flag until we control the midfield, etc. However, my groups tend to do very poorly in this battleground, especially compared to Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin. I...

How does weapon swapping work dual-wielding with Crusader? I heard that some players keep spare versions of their weapons to swap with an equipped weapon once Crusader has triggered on them. I'm guessing that allows them to stack more instances of Crusader at a time. However, if I'm...

I have a few questions about useful addons for pvp. 1) Is there a way to make BG Defender work for Arathi Basin? I've used the addon in the past to more quickly warn allies of incoming attacks. However, it doesn't seem to work anymore since the graphical upgrade to it. On Curse, I saw some...

Ah, okay. That makes a bit more sense to me. I thought I'd try BGs with XP on until I hit a level bracket cap, so as to mitigate queue times. Holy cow, that's even worse than combined on/off BGs. At least before, people remotely tried to have decent gear (even if only heirlooms + quest...

Ah, okay. Yeah, from what few queues I've gotten, they were for WSG. I just found it oddly specific, before. 4) Is there a list or way to research what non-boss loot equipment is available? With dungeon farming, figuring out what was available was listed in-game, or I could look them up on...

I was looking up some topics on changes to low level battleground PvP brackets and have a few questions, since I'm not certain or aware of the precise changes. I know I heard the xpon and xpoff brackets are split up, so queue times have been extremely long for me with xpoff. If it matters, I...

Out of curiosity, how do you weigh stats for a given level bracket? I've seen various sites list their own stat weights for max level PvE, but I have no idea how they figure that out. I'd imagine a dps meter would be involved, but any number of things could affect it, besides my stats. Quite...

Yeah, I generally value consistency over a slightly better bottom line in WoW, or many things in life. It just seems oddly specific that more seem to be saying that Crit is suddenly not as good. I've mostly heard people talking about it at max level, but I've also heard this for low levels...

How valued is the Crit stat for Fury Warriors? I took a bit of a break before 8.1.5 was released. Upon returning, Critical Strike seems far less valued than it was before, from what I've found. I know Haste and Versatility were generally valued more, but not as much as I'm seeing now. Was...

They're particularly useful for me, since I run a Warrior. The Portable Bronze Mortar is useful to supplement Pummel for interrupting key heals. I like it better than the grenades, since the mortar is instant use, while explosives have a small cast time, giving them plenty of time to move out...

I'm starting to prepare for twinking my Fury Warrior for the 30-39 bracket. I'll probably get up to 39 within the next week. I have a few questions about gear. 1) Is Versatility still as useful in this bracket as the previous one? From what I heard, Versatility is much better at lower...

I think Goblin Glider is only a significant advantage in the 10-19 bracket, since you can't use most mounts yet, though I do have a Sea Turtle that still works. Otherwise, you can move from base to base almost as fast as with a regular mount. Personally, I think it makes an interesting...

Preface: I've only been playing low level BGs as a twink Alliance Warrior. I have no problem abusing consumables in battlegrounds. However, I don't go insane with them because, past a certain point, they're really not going to help THAT much. If I'm a twink on a team of f2pers in WSG, using...

I'm probably going to move onto the 30-39 bracket soon. One thing I'm trying to do is play different brackets as I go, so that I learn more gradually how to use my character. Honestly, I found the 10-19 bracket significantly easier than the 20-29 bracket, running random BGs. Granted, as a 19...

Ah, okay. Yeah, that incendiary ammunition is pretty insane. It seems odd that Blizzard would make such an obvious oversight, when they've usually gone out of their way to make sure that item enhancements require a minimum item level to be attached, in recent expansions. Oh well...

I'm noticing something very fishy in a few random pugs, recently. There's a Horde group, probably premade, that just absolutely annihilates any group I'm in, far faster than what I've usually seen. However, it's a lot more than just having better coordination and communication. They're 1-2...

Yeah, good point about WSG. That does tend to be more so the case, with groups prioritizing kills over flags until we practically graveyard camp them. Oddly enough, I've found AB to be much easier to win than WSG. I find that as long as we can rotate bases faster than they can, we can win...
