Arathi Basin Posted in ,

AB is all about controlling the resources. You collect resources by gaining control of the 5 different bases: Stables, Lumber Mill, Gold Mine, Blacksmith and Farm. The more bases you control the faster your team’s resources amass. The first team to reach 2000 resources wins.

The basic strategy is to split off into groups to claim and defend as many bases as you can. You claim/assault/defend a base by clicking on the flag. Maintaining control of 3 of the 5 bases for most of the game usually insures a win. It is possible to gain control of all 5 bases, when this happens the game is very short.

Point to remember: A very common mistake when fighting for control of a base is not fighting on (near) the flag. The group must be fighting at the flag and attempting to take it. If not, you have endless respawns keeping you from taking the the base. Also, I’ve seen many times that some of the enemy players will lure you away from the flag while one of them sneaks in the other direction and assaults the base.

    I just visited Arathi for the first time last night with Wenolyn; we actually managed to even win once. :) One thing to mention is how important it is to STAY TOGETHER—wandering around alone just gets you picked off by the Horde, which are always better at working in a group. Assault together, defend together, win together!
