Arathi Basin Strategies and Tactics

[Concillian]

What these two alliance guilds do is assign one druid each to defend the stables and the mine once they cap them in the initial push.  That frees up the other thirteen players to assault the blacksmith and constantly press the mill or farm.  If a small party tries to approach the mine or the stables, the druid delays the tapping as long as possible and calls for an appropriate number of reinforcements.  At times, the other druid will come to assist if the assaulting party is large enough.  On the other hand, if the assaulting party is too big, then the defender druid will delay the inevitable as long as possible while the rest of the raid presses the other resource nodes.

Our group hasn't really found a way to counter this tactic, since we don't have any druids who regularly play with us.

I like the rogue option as lemekim mentioned. Send 2 stealthed.

When the first rogue starts tapping the flag, and the drood pops out of stealth, the second can gouge him and sprint for the flag (since he's not DoTed), then the first sprints to the druid and blinds, then vanish and cheapshot between DoT ticks after counting to 9 seconds. The druid will have to shift twice, wasting time, and a gouge will keep him immobile longer, followed by a kidney shot for 2 more shifts. Should be enough time to take 2 on 1, especially if the first has improved gouge.

If you have the time, the second rogue that assaults the druid from stealth while the first is drawing his attention to the flage can cheap shot first to get the extra combo points so when the flag is turned, you have an easier time of downing the druid, but that will give a couple of valuable seconds of headstart time to the defenders (druid shapeshifting twice), who will be on their way as soon as the druid sees he's in trouble.

Should give you the node within 15 - 20 seconds of initial sighting, which should be quick enough to avoid issues with the other druid coming to assist.
