[Thornblade NA] Stacking BRK -- Winning Strategy?

Agrippa_Invisus

So... as of this moment DC just captured every AD home keep (all six) while AD was camped out in BRK. The only AD keep left is Drakelowe (as they lost BRK while Alessia was flipping).

GOOD JERB!

AD has no clue about defending. Yet vs about 40 guys last night on Chillrend, my group of six (and I believe about 4 other guys grouped up, so 10 total) held blackboot from the emperor hoard for 3 hours.

I'm sure that DC will get emp easily now, as they just have to threaten Arrius and then zergbomb BRK.

They earned it. Hilarious. As well as the giant points evals they're going to get.

GOOD JERB ARDMERRY DERMINYERN

Guaranteed first point of entry - Yellow will go straight to Sejanus.

Don't forget defending Drakelowe over reclaiming Faregyl or an imperial keep.

Yup, I'm done. Not even going to pvp. Just going to like write an essay or something. That's right I'd rather write an essay than try to take back home keeps.

Another prediction - Once home keeps are reclaimed, yellow will then only push red for the rest of the evening, because you know, reasons.

I feel like the smart thing to do now, from an EP perspective, is to take Dragonclaw and give up all of our home keeps to DC as well.

It's the only logical counter to this 1337 strategy.

I dunno man.. EP in Brindle feels weird...

I like being in Brindle personally, she's always given me that warm, fuzzy feeling. And the risk makes 'er all the more attractive.

All I can say to this pic...



Reminds of when we placed an AD Scroll at Drake, I question this, guy in zone chat says "Lol scrubs questionning Scroll placement, stfu".
5 minutes later, "Person X of the Aldmeri Dominion has taken the Elder Scroll of Mnem from Drakelowe Keep". All I say in zone: "What's that you said? I couldn't hear you over the sound of AD taking the Scroll."

To be honest, I feel the mocking was roundly deserved in this instance.

What AD did was dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb.

AD held, at one point, their home keeps + Sejanus, BRK, and Drakelowe. EP is down to just the three inner keeps (Arrius/Farra/KC). EP is desperate to get BRK back because it's the first line of defense to keep Arrius safe (it's half the distance to Arrius that Chalman is).

So... DC hits Roe. EP takes the time to hit BRK. AD sacrifices Roe to maintain enough manpower to save BRK. Sejanus is flipped red during this and stays red.

DC hits Brindle. EP tries again. AD chooses BRK over Brindle.

DC and EP both hit BRK simultaneously. AD continues to stack BRK and repels them both.

DC hits Faregyl at this point. Again EP tries at BRK. AD remains stacked and gives up Faregyl for BRK.

EP is still fighting for BRK and BM flags, then flips. At this point even if AD gets Mnem, the gate it goes behind is open.

DC flags BB and Alessia at the same time. This is the only point at which AD starts to leave and head to defend. It's Alessia, no other keep, that gets them to pay any real attention to their home keeps. With Sejanus red, though, they don't get there in time. BB, Alessia, and BRK all flip within minutes of each other.

BUT DRAKELOWE STOOD STRONG!
