Favorite Battleground?

[Tim]

So just curious, does anybody have a favorite battleground for multiboxing, or even solo play?

For me, I really really like Alterac Valley for a multiboxing team. Having 25 players (and before 40) really gives it a bit of an expansive feel, with such a large amount of land, and the size gives you a bit more flexibility with how you want to play. Plus the concept of objectives + kills is pretty slick for the BG goals.

From a multiboxing standpoint, you can really wreck face in AV by camping spawn spots, or where your faction mini-leader is at. I love camping the alliance graveyard and then doing mass AOE when 20+ members rez. Having 5 people kill 20+ and having them wait another 30 seconds is almost guaranteeing a win.

From a boxing point of view, Alterac Valley hands down. It is the one battleground, where boxers shine. Even given 25 players instead of 40, having five players in one place is not a detriment to the chances of winning. And five acting together can be rather nice.

Overall, I'd go with Arathi Basin as my favorite battleground. Five positions to control, multiple graveyards, assuming you control a position on the map. The ability to scout every position with Hunter/Shaman far-sight like abilities. Path of Frost allowing a link between Stables-Blacksmith-Farm. Knocking opponents off of the Lumber Mill cliffs, or down into Gold Mine.

Always had a lot of fun there, more so one-boxing though; having five of the fifteen (or worse, five of ten) players in one place as a boxer virtually guarantees losses in the smaller BG's.

My favorite is a toss up between Arathi Basin and AV

I'm such a noob in Cata heh, I still haven't done this Battleground.

How viable is it for a multiboxing team? If I were to do it 5 box style, which class do you think would be the best?

Also, is it a rated BG?

[pinki104]

its good but its capped now abit like winter grasp and quite alot of the time you dont get all 5 of your toons in

Oh so it isn't a que'd BG, its more a world event zone BG?

Ye pretty much, new WG
Multiboxing there is less overkill then WG was, cause of the way it works with zerging bases at the moment.

That said, having 10 alliance coming for you, then blowing em up with a single instant arcane spell or 100% crit lava burst spam, or Starsurge would be epic
