Strategies for the Battlegrounds

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Smuggler's Den</span></strong></p><p>Scoring breakdown- Center Tower 5pts/tick, Lavamace and Skull 3pts/tick and Arrow and Cresent 2pts/tick</p><p>thus making center and the two side towers essential positions to hold.</p><p>Assuming that you have a almost if not all the way full raid on start(which never seems to be the case. leaving that for another disscussion)</p><p>Group 1,2 taking center</p><p>Group 3 taking and holding Lava Mace</p><p>Group 4 taking and holding Skull</p><p>if, however you do not have a full raid on start which is the usuall case,</p><p>group 1 taking center is essential, raid leader you must build as solid of a group as possible and if your not comfortable leading make sure to pass off the leadership role.</p><p>group 2 roam, a good idea is to take the on closest to base then V line straight for the opposition via a counterclockwise rotation about the map. such that, if you see blue take cresent then likely after they are headed to skull tower. so you hsould take arrowhead then run straight to skull not lavamace</p><p>Group 3 as you get in you should move to the opposite side of the map as group 2 and maintain either lavamace or skull as skull and lava tick for more points then cresent or arrow.</p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ganaks Battlefield</span></strong></p><p>Scoring breakdown - This is a capture the flag match, your goal is to capture the flag and keep the other team from getting yours. takes approximately 3 flagg captures to finish the match assuming you have not had to fight in the center for a week because 5healers and one tank want to stand in center and fight.</p><p>Strategy</p><p>Group 1 Capture the flag!!!!!!!</p><p>Group 2 Keep your flagg from being captured!</p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Gears of Klak'anon</span></strong></p><p>Scoring Breakdown - In this match you are to take the Relic found in the center of the map and try to hold on to it like a hot potato while the other team is trying to beat you down.</p><p>Strategy</p><p>There is only one 6 man group in this match, and likely you will have no healer and the other team will have 3. but maybe you can still win!</p><p>if, in the senario i just said hopefully your team is with you on being fast to grab the relic and run for their life as fast as possible (RUN FORESST, RUNNNNNNNNN)</p><p>if, however you are lucky to find yourself in a match where it is equally matched; which i would like to see some sort of scripting put in to ensure each team gets at least one healer and tank then your in for in my honest opinion the best Battleground they made. It's a Battle, 6man vs 6man and the better group wins.</p><p>Hope this helps! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

If you are near the center and can see the person that dropped the relic you can click on it right away and chances are good you will pick it up. So if you do not have a healer it is good to run, but when you are about to die be close to where your team can see you drop and click the relic without having to leave the middle. Pay attention to the relic holders health. If it turns red get ready to grab even if the healer brings it back to orange. Also a good idea to have the team split where they click for the relic, because sometimes it immediately goes to center. If one person is clicking the dropped body while another clicks center your chances of grabbing are that much improved. If at all possible let your oop healer get the relic lol. </p>

<p>As I understand it, how fast you can 'harvest' the relic in Gears is dependant upon your casting speed.  Those classes that have high casting speeds or buffs will be able to snatch it faster.  It also involves grabbing it when it drops on the player for that half second before it respawns on the pad.</p><p>If you have a healer, and manage to get the relic, then don't go dashing all over hell and creation, and let the healer keep you alive a bit longer.</p><p>Remember, IT"S ALL ABOUT THE RELIC.  Fighting private duels up above does nothing to help your side to win.  If you are not trying to get the relic or help hold on to it longer, or to prevent the other team from doing the same, then you are not doing your job.</p>
