there is no perfection solution to this. You don't get all that killing power without any drawbacks.
A couple things you can do,
1. suicide-1 die all die.
2. rez,- kill everyone around, rez the dead
3. release the dead, keep your main group going. After the dead rez up, make him/them auto run to you. A.K.A. regroup.
Personally, I always tries to do option 2 and 1. One of my toons dies. Usually this means I am going up against a crowd. I will fight them all. So either I win by wiping all of them out, or I got wiped out.
Depends on scenario. If I i'm low on mana, and one dies, the odds are that the others will die. If not, it depends on how close the GY is, and figure out how to group up there, or if it's just 1, and no enemies nearby, I'll rez up.
Worst case scenario has been a few AVs I've been in where I've died, and someone takes the insignia forcing them to a GY. I've had this happen in between several toons while GY's are being capped, and actually had my group split at 3 different GYs. Major pain when that happens.
Another point about BG is that you can really pick your fights. Don't fight the fight where you know you can't win. It sounds simple, but too many players (horde pugs in AV, i am looking at your guys) are just dying mindlessly. Part of it, being Blizzard's fault for no real penalty from dying. Another part is that they are not picking the right fights.
Play your team with a stealthy Rogue mind set, you won't be dying.
Well i have a ress button, if i die with enuf many and have far to gy i just wait for everyone to die and all release on same time = no diff Gys or res times. :) I also use FTL leaderless setup so i can swap main and ussualy just use PiP key to swap main window, so i can go on ussualy.
In AV I often rez up and trinket to the HQ.
Was going to suggest this too. Since AV has multiple grave yards, sometimes you get totally messed up. Easier to rez, port, and resync with your team.Quote:

Also, I am so evil against this other Alliance boxer (I know he browses here). Latley, I kill 2 or 3 members of his team in Wintergrasp, loot their bodies, and ghost wolf away. Totally jacks him up :D
don't die in bgs
don't do bgs
I have a macro /script RepopMe() that releases them all at the same time. If I'm in a big fight where more than one dies, it usually means all will die. So, keep fighting and take as many with you as you can, then hit that macro so they all release at the same time (putting you at the same graveyard). If I only lose 1 or 2 and the threat is gone, I rez them and go on about my Ally killin'.
ewww.. That is evil. :)Quote:

It was very embarrassing because someone else on my team saw and everyone in the BG was making fun of me lolol (it was hilarious though).
