Arathi Basin - Daily Battleground 1/24/10

Today my daily battleground was Arathi Basin. I wasn't really excited about that because we have not been winning the last few times I was in there but we did ok today. I did this one on both Wranngar and Gomorra and they each got their win in the first, and only, battles they were in.

I did it on Wranngar first. We won that one pretty easily. We held 3 nodes throughout and had a 4th for most the time for a decent win. That is unusual for the Alliance, whenever we have won in there lately it has been really close. We won this one by over 500 points. Most the people were playing it smart and guarding nodes instead of running off to try and capture a 4th and 5th node.

When I got in there a while later on Gomorra it was back to business as usual. It only takes 3 nodes to win but why hold and defend 3 when you can have 5. The problem with that strat is that even when we have 5 people can't stay put, they will leave nodes unguarded to try and farm Horde at their rez point and end up losing nodes. We held 3 for the most part, barely, and would get a 4th then lose 2 because everyone left nodes unguarded to try and get another. We ended up winning that one by less than 100 points which is what I have come to expect from the Alliance in there when they win.

I turned this in for 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points on each.
