By standing there, they actually have to lock you down really hard, or even kill you to get the flag.
The top if the tunnel is in your range, so they cant pick you of from there, and should they try, you can actually kill people that are out of sight with CL :thumbup:
If they come from the ledge, you can hide, until they run around the corner.
Any melee can be softened with fire novas and finished of with CLs and shock.
Massive assaults can be fended of with fire elemental totems.

Should they kill you, you most likely have killed some of them, and they should be easy to pick off after you ress.

I have had moderate success with this tac, and basically won 70-80% when the team plays with me, and stay offensive.
I use this tactic as well - seems really effective, the only problem is that it's highly dependent on having a good offensive with the rest of the team. I'm specifically thinking about a certain game I had defending the flag for at least half an hour with no caps on either side. The other 6 people simply couldn't organize themselves to get the flag and then later blamed me because I was defending our flag (which the other side never managed to get once during that time). Eventually I gave up and went on the offensive to get the game over with a loss anyways.
