An evil DK Warsong trick
I've been doing a bit of PVP on my DK lately, and I found a little trick in Warsong Gulch that I love pulling off. It's not a game-winning move or anything, it's just fun.
As everyone knows, the Warsong graveyards are atop small hills overlooking the open central field. When a player dies, they will usually resurrect, mount up, and ride off the hill towards the opposition base.
It's a simple yet effective trick. First of all, I get in a few hits before they even realize what happened. Secondly, if they're ranged, they are stuck in this tiny little crevice with me, and the angle/tight quarters makes it hard to blink or disengage to safety. Third, since they are moving forward when I grab them, and because it's such a short-range, fast death grip, they likely kept moving forward and are now riding their mount straight up a wall, completely messing up their camera and perspective.
Obviously, you can only do this a few times before a handful of enraged Alliance pour down the slope and murder you. But it's a funny way to get a few kills, and if you're distracting a few opposition players from defending their flag or grabbing your team's flag, it's well worth the effort.

Bad, BAD RADES. Stop killing my people and being all dastardly!
...I actually didn't know where the graveyard was, because I've done WSG a grand total of once before I hated it. Give me an old school AV any day!

I love Warsong Gulch, it and Arathi Basin are probably my favorite battlegrounds. Probably because I like the smaller teams - I always feel lost and insignificant in AV matches.
I definitely don't blame you for hating WSG if your one time doing it was one of those annoying, hour-long stalemate battles though. So glad there is now a time limit.

I do love picking off the DKs from up top once I know they are there... which is after the 1st time they gank from from the air.
Then they send their silly pet up top... it's a tough decision.. do I frost nova them out of the fight, or blastwave them over the DK's head...
