Warsong Gulch
Warsong Gulch is the CTF (Capture the Flag) Battleground of WoW.
General Information
- Up to 10 people can participate in WSG.
- The brackets for this Battleground are 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-59, 70-79, 80
- Mounting, Divine Shield, Vanish, Shadowmeld, Iceblock or any other Stealth/Immunity will cause the flag to be dropped.
- After dropping a flag you will be unable to pick it up again for 3 seconds.
- If the flag is dropped, and no one is around to pick it up, it will return to its base after 5 seconds.
- When both flags are held the flag carriers will receive a 50% increased damage done to them debuff after around 10 minutes of holding the flag. At 15 minutes they will receive a 100% increased damage done to them debuff. This debuff also slows movement speed.
Strategies
"Offense and Defense" - Around 3 people stay in the flag room at the beginning of the match and protect the flag, while the remaining 7 go on Offense and grab the enemy flag. If the enemy makes it out of your flag room alive, then Defense needs to follow them and try to return the flag. I find it useful is Offense intercepts the enemy flag.
"The Middle" - This Strategy will usually only ever work if your team is an organized. What you want to do is intercept the enemies first wave of attackers (Usually by ether of the berserk huts). After this first wave of attackers is dead then proceed to the bottom of the enemies graveyard and kill them as they rez. With the Majority of your team killing the enemies at their graveyard, one person should be safe to run the flags without much harm.
"Defend the Flag Carrier" - At the start of the game everyone goes with the Flag Carrier, grabs the flag and brings it back to their base. Once the flag is back at your base, have two people stay with the flag carrier and the other 7 head out and get your flag back.
"The Almar" - That's right my strategy. At the start of the match charge the enemy base, go in have one person grab the flag and the rest of his team wait for him at the bottom of the tunnel. (I ALWAYS go tunnel, dunno why.) At the bottom of the tunnel have your whole team escort you to your flag. (Not flag room, flag.) At your flag, kill everyone and the enemy flag carrier. Return your flag to its base, then head into the flag room and cap it.
If by any chance you lose the flag and the other team caps it first, i just Surrender and bend over. Who has time for a hour long WSG game of just farming kills? Not me =P
