Eye of the Storm - Daily Battleground 12/5/09

Eye of the Storm was my daily battleground today. I only fought in one battle on Wranngar and I got into it late. I only had to fight in one, we won that one.

We were losing by over 1,000 points when I got there but we had 3 towers capped so the 3 cap must have been recent. I went to MT, one of the towers we were holding, and helped defend that until the end of the battle. This was an EoS done right, towers are the way to win EoS, not the flag. We were running the flag though, but we had 3 towers. We ended up winning by a little over 1,000 points so it was still a close battle.

To win in EoS it is best to start off with a 3 cap and ignore the flag until you have those 3. I personally like to take MT, DR and FRR at the start. Most the Horde seem to go to BET, so FRR is usually lightly guarded. As long as you don't have a group of Flagtards this is easy to accomplish. Don't let the Horde con you into fighting in the road at FRR, they like to fight right when you come off the bridge but that's not clocking the tower over, get right up on the tower and fight. You need to have more at DR if you are hitting FRR at the start because the Horde are going to hit DR. If you are doing MT, DR and BET then you need to have more at MT as that is what they will hit.

This is a pretty easy battleground to win in as long as you don't get stuck with a group of Flagtards. You know you have a group of Flagtards when you come off the rock and more than half your team goes straight to the flag. It is pretty much all over then, collect your mark and what little honor you get and try again.
