eye strategy
The Eye of the Storm (EotS) is a 15-man battleground available from level 61 to 80 and is located in the Outlands’s of Netherstorm. Unlike the other battlegrounds though, you may not enter this battleground through a normal entrance, instead, you will need to queue at one of the many battle masters in the cities.
Tower Control: First and foremost, you need to control towers with the assistance of your raid group. There’s 4 towers scattered around for you to control. The more you secure, the faster you earn Victory Points. It is recommended you hold at least 2 before attempting the other methods. To gain control of a tower, you must stand near the tower’s flag point and have the marker move to your “side” (horde, alliance), it will let you know when you have capped the tower with an announcement in the battleground. If you’re taking an enemy’s tower, then you will need to wait twice as long to first slip it out of their control and then into yours. It is recommended you max out the meter to your side so you and your allies have the maximum amount of time to rush and defend should it be under attack. When you take control or capture a tower it is generally referred to as “capping” it (short for capturing), so may times you will see messages such as “G2 cap BE”. This would mean that Group 2 should capture the Blood Elf tower.
Flag: The flag always starts in the middle of the battleground. It takes 10 seconds to pick up the flag from the center point and you must then make your way to a tower that your faction holds. Once you reach that tower you turn in the flag by simply standing on the flag platform there. Similar to other flag capture battlegrounds you can be interrupted by any damage you take while trying to pick up the flag. Also, you can’t mount but you can cat form / ghost wolf form, so all Warsong Gulch flag-running strategies are applicable here.
There is no faction for Eye of the Storm, so your gains will be in pure Honor and Eye of the Storm tokens.
