We’ve all heard of them, but still, in 90% of the PUG BGs, we don’t use them. I’m talking about tactics. Tactics can make or break a BG. Even when your group setup is far from perfect, good tactics can still make your team win. In this guide I will cover a lot of tactics used in BGs and also some counter tactics.
At this moment I don’t write anything about AV. Although good AV tactics aren’t very hard, it’s almost impossible to lead a PUG AV with all the leechers and the people who just spam the usual zerg tactics.
As I play as ally most of the time, this guide will be written from an allies point of view, but, since 3/4 BGs are mirrored, will also work for horde. Just remember to change the name of the nodes. So when I talk about ST in AB, for horde this means Farm etc.
