This is how it was. You could never solo towers\bunkers\graveyards. You always needed a few people to take them, a solo\uncoordinated attempt was the quickest trip back to the graveyard. This is the PvE BG, tanks are highly instrumental in taking over objectives and acting as annoyance against counter caps. If you don't have a tank for towers\bunkers, use line of site while fighting elites (inside the tower, or under the stairs of the bunker). Archers can also be LoS'd by using the walls of the towers\bunkers. For graveyards, don't fight the mobs, have someone kite them away for a quicker cap, or a group of rogues can sap n' cap. If you're really coordinated, you sheep, trap, sap, etc. and make it really easy. The forgotten uses of crowd control work incredibly well in AV. Use your kit. Even if they don't have stealth detection, basic NPC's will still see you if you stand directly in front of them. They have the same vision players do, and you can't tell me you've never been standing around town when someone in stealth pops briefly into view while in close proximity. You've got distraction; use it. Get a group of rogues and form an assassin squad. You're far better off popping out of stealth together and taking out the back line healers before disappearing again; A good rogue squadron in AV can be devastating. This BG encapsulates the madness of war, a solo can't do it alone. In the olden times, AV would last days, and you could leave a battle only to join it again the next day. When things get stale in the field of strife (it's named that way for a reason), farm the quests, summon the champions, release the riders, and call upon the old gods of Alterac!
I love this change, feels like a challenge again
