How to win in CTF

[MongoJerry]

By the way, the conventional wisdom that I understand was not to sheep the healers, but to sheep the dispelers, and then take out the rest. Although for WSG one must adopt different tactics from what one would use in open field PvP.

That's actually a good point. I think that this tactic is one far more easily employed by the Alliance. I'm getting some of this secondhand, because after taking 10 days off of playing due to moving and then taking time preparing to teach some classes I've never taught before for this summer, I've come back to playing to find that it's near impossible for a Horde player on Tichondrius to get into a CTF match. I've only done a handfulof matches the last week or so.

But yeah, come to think of it, I think it's more of an Alliance tactic. There's a group on Tichondrius known as the "Exiled Frost Mage Team" -- a group of 10 who always play together and have three frost mages plus a warrior or two a couple of pally's, maybe a priest, etc. I've never actually gone up against them although I've gone up against other Exiled teams, but the reports are that they're scary good. Reportedly, they sheep the opponent's warriors, focus fire on the opponent's priests, and stagger cast frost nova to root the rest of the Horde players in place. With the Horde priest(s) dead or fighting for their lives, the sheep can't be dispelled, and the Horde team gets rolled over. I imagine that the "sheep the warrior" tactic is just people trying to emulate them, but you're right, it doesn't make as much sense for Horde.
