Boxing Rating BGs... gonna do it?

[heyaz]

That sucks...
Was really looking forward to 25v25 weeks, and less so to the 10v10 weeks.

Still, it comes down to playing "x" rated games a week, every week.
Until you reach the cap for Conquest Points, for that week.

If a 5-boxer is a drain on a typical WSG.
It might mean 100 games that week to cap on points.

Sounds like the arena grind again
a million games to 2k again because of crap win ratio.. and a million more if you want to get much higher.

Shame they removed 25 mans, we could really shine there.

And speaking of prod, the self heal abilities of DK and paladin are insane right now.

And even more crazy, DK heals even more ,

Death Strike heals about 10% of full hp , not base. So it heals like 20k non crit.

AB with boxers only is not possibe vs real pvp group, because they will simply outrun you.

i think becomes pretty clear what cata pvp will be.. a cc game.

You will not be able to solo it like we can do in pugs, but a boxer is definitely viable for any BG. The immense advantage; coordinated burst will still be very helpfull. No matter the battleground, aslong as it's for 10 players+.

sephice zerged the stables to keep them busy

This is only possible with randoms oder newbies. I dont think this will work in rated BGs.

As i said before this was only against the first premades. Later we only kept 2 bases and played the defend game.

3 teams of 4 boxers with a pocket healer each, set up at a base each would definitely be plausible for AB and EotS.

I thought about that. The problem i forsee happening is that each base will get over run 1 by 1. Which is somewhat hard to counter with 3 boxers. Since you'll leave a base undefended very fast.

I think in general the best tactic is to let the boxer be the tank getting the dirty work done. Attack bases if needed, help defend where the alliance are in numbers etc. Goes for any BG really.

With AB.. from the Blacksmith you're very close to both Farm and Stables.
It's not that far to go, to lend support.
In pug vs pug PvP, it isn't that hard to hold/support two of these with five toons.

Two boxers could take Farm and Stables, and jointly support Blacksmith as required.
Three boxers could attempt to hold all three, lending support as necessary.

It comes down to, can you hold your base with a team of five.
Or possibly with a team of four, plus a single boxed support healer.
Against an equal or larger group?
Because they can send 2 against Farm, 2 against Stables and 10 against Blacksmith.

Possibly set your DPS to follow and assist your Focus, if the Focus exists and is friendly?
That way, you could spam your DPS key, and leave 1-2 toons with a solo toon, while taking the rest of your team elsewhere.
Got the idea of the support, from a recent two 5-boxers in a 10-man raid thread.
