Boxing Rating BGs... gonna do it?

The thing is, would you wanna play with a boxer who is doing all the fun stuff (killing, capping,) while you get ordered to sit at a base and defend it? That wouldn't be my kind of game tbh as a solo player.

If that team was rated high enough, sure.

I think it may lead to tap your bases and only go for one enemy base, defending the bases on your side and then getting one of the single players to get the flag. So let's wait for cata and see.

I'm pretty sure you'll not be able to just rush to a base and cap it, as easy as it is in pugs. I've done some premades with good people (2,4k+). Several times in the past season we met a decent premade against us and they just owned us quite badly. We weren't on Vent or anything and mainly just getting honor, so it wasn't that serious. But Pugs and an organised good premade are night and day.

In arena's healers heal for 10% less then they do in BG's if i'm correct. That's quite noticable, which makes it close to impossible to oneshot somewhen with 3 healers around.

I am playing on an EU Realm ... so i cannot transfer to an US Realm.

If the oposing team has a clue, every base should get attacked and everyone should get some combat going on. If that's not the case, then there's no point in defending bases and just farm them at ST/Farm.

People hardly accept that not every base needs defense. If you got the alliance/horde back to ST or Farm and you see a few heading for a base, then it should be no problem to follow them and stop them from assaulting/defending the base. The thing is, people need to respond immediatly for this to work, which often doesn't happen.

I wish all boxer well in rated bgs, I am sure some will do well. Relatively speaking.

One huge benefit to boxers I believe is coming ....not being able to use certain pve items in arena/rated bgs. No more pve heros in pvp.

Well, since this is how I win my Pug BGs, I see no reason why I couldn't explain this role to a premade. Teams are always composed of different people, arguing that if you're not killing you're no having fun is the same as saying there are no healers...

Nope, the 10% nerf applies to all PvP environments, including arena, BG, and WG
