Curse

Is it just me, but in every Alliance Battle you fight in the Kurzicks always use Minion Masters and the Luxons fails to see thats why they can never push the Kurzicks past the Saltspray Beach (which clearly has a Kurzick advantage anyway)

Lets here your views............

Saltspray Beach? The Kurzicks don't have an advantage there (at least not one I'm aware of). As for minion masters, I've seen Luxons use them too. I've always just figured they are a standard alliance battle strategy

hmmmm, most matches ive played in never consist of Luxon Minion Masters, only Kurzick ones. and i strongly feel that the Kurzicks have the advantage on Saltspray Beach

Kurzicks certainly aren't supposed to have an advantage on Saltspray, despit many people's opinions on the matter.

Sure feels like the Kurzick have an advantage in Saltspray (Im a Luxon). Anyway back on topic..... MMs are good but I prefer to run an SS build. Nice thing about minions is they bunch up giving SS on them good damage and as an AI they don't know to let it wear off. SS the minions, degen and blood/death spike their master and move on. Of course the "brilliant" Kurz touch rangers swarm the SS. (sigh)

I always bring that minion stealing skill, Vereta's Aura was it? In AB.

the only reason why the Kurzick have the advantage on the Saltspray map is because the Luxon rarely try and take the dragon shrine right off the bat. It's not the end all be all for winning but it helps.

it would seem reasonble that the Kurzicks have the advantage on Saltspray Beach since to fight there the Luxons have to hold the Harvest Temple, and when the Kurzicks hold the Harvest Temple you fight in Etnaran Keys which is Luxon Territory.

Holding the Dragon Roost isnt a Major advantage but it seems who ever holds the Roost has the majority of the other points, and yet the whole losing team decides to try and take the Roost instead of only 8 people fighting while 1 team caps the points.

In my eyes the Luxons should take the Jade Sea Points first since the Kurzicks will always get to the Hillside Res point and the Roost First

i believe the problem has got to do with time issues. it starts of kurzick winning cos of there mm pushing them back to etnaran were the pros come in faction farm finally push back to salt were they leave and let the noobs come along.

and btw dragon roost isnt that good most people dont bother attacking it but its so weak its just puts them into panic because they c a big dragon wen really we get a monk if we cap a res shrine monk>ele

If one team consistently gets one rez and roost, they will win.

The two rez points and the roost (because it's next to both rez points) at the important ones. When one team can hold 2/3 of those for a while without giving up a ton of other stuff, they will eventually gain the momentum.
