How to Win World of Warcraft’s Eye of the Storm Battlegrounds

The Eye of the Storm battlegrounds is a new battleground for World of Warcraft that was added with the Burning Crusade expansion. It is very popular with players that love to play defense. Here is how the battleground works and how to win.

There are four towers, the Blood Elf Tower, the Mage Tower, Draenei Ruins, and the Fel Reaver Ruins. There is one tower at each corner of the map, and a flag in the middle of the map. The object of the game is to reach 2000 points. To get points, players have to capture a tower and protect it from the opposing team. To get even more points, players can capture the flag in the center of the battlegrounds and take it to their captured tower.

The points given for capturing the flag goes up with the more towers that are taken. For example, three towers captured will give you more points when you return the flag than only having one tower.

One winning strategy is to grab the towers closest to the starting area as soon as the battleground starts. Some players will stay to defend the towers, while others go off to fight for the flag. Hunters, druids, and rouges are usually best for capturing the flag because they have fast running abilities. Mages are also good because they can use Blink to evade any enemies.

Another winning strategy is to take three towers, and hold them, without worrying about the flag. Controlling three towers almost insures victory because it is very difficult for the opposing team to catch up with only one tower, no matter how many times they run the flag.

No matter what strategy the team uses, players should never fight with the opposing team away from the towers or flag. This wastes your fighting resources and gets nothing accomplished. If these strategies are followed, and you use the Idemise guide to get gold for the best gear, you can win every time at the Eye of the Storm battlegrounds.
