5/5/08 Update:

We are much more comfortable in Ruins of Lorderon and the Blade's Edge Arena. Our win rate in Blade's edge is very high now, since it really does force the teams to fight on terms that are good for us. Ruins of Lorderon is becoming more comfortable as well.

The Nagrand arena is stifling us a little bit if we face a ranged team and decide to stay put behind a pole. Melee teams where we use the "nook" continue to be just fine from a setup/positioning perspective. If we are stay behind the pole and wait for a ranged team, then better teams are simply LoSing and pole dancing before I can finish them off. I don't know if I'm staying TOO close to the pole once the battle starts, but we fought many battles in the last two weeks (against better teams) where I would get someone to 50% or so and they would run around behind the pole before I could finish them off. If I pursued, it almost always went badly or the entire enemy team would rotate and just hug the pole.

Ellay/others--- Any tips for how to best play around this damn pole? I feel like I'd be better off in the melee nook at all times!




The good news is... We've played enough now that other teams are trying to outlast our patience. We sat for 27 minutes last night behind two poles before the other team decided to attack. We lost though...
