In the battlegrounds... Rath Strat, horde...
Alliance rogue boxer.

The first few times I saw this boxer, the horde considered him as free honor kills.
He basically had very little gear, or an initial setup that was not that optimal.

As the games have progressed, he's become a lot more of a threat.




A few of the more geared characters (who do a lot of the back cap), called me back because they could not handle him...

In that game, he opened with Ambush and dropped one of my DK's, not in a global... but still faster than I could react.
I tried to heal the second one, while the team was doing Howling Blast on his team.
He basically dropped the second DK at about the point where his team dropped.

In the second altercation, the Pally was able to bubble before dying (he opened on the Pally, instead of a DK)... but I was at a Frostwolf graveyard and he was in the vicinity...
And the graveyard was tapped by the horde, but in the process of changing (a couple mins left on the 4 min timer), so I knew he would attack at some point and was watching for it.
With the bubble and the 'Big Button', which blows all of the cooldowns, there was not enough burst to down any of my toons before the cleave (Howling Blast) got his set.

But I'd imagine I still have a gear advantage over him.
I'm not sure if he has Conquest weapons yet, or not... but that will be a strong upgrade when/if they're added.
Anyone in full honor, but no conquest, will likely fall in the opener.
And in BG play, you can be wherever... without a healer or two, on the opposite side specifically looking for the opposing team and ready for their opener.

I remember Asonimie really liking the team, in the Cataclysm beta...
But haven't really seen anyone post about 5x Rogues, as their team.
I do like the odd-ball or unique teams, and thinking outside of what we typically recommend.
