[Warlock] SotA: Cap First 2 GY's without destroying walls

[tkoreaper]

I saw a similar post, but they didn't mention that it can be done in the river in the middle of the map too. What you must do is, if you know you're going to lose or time has almost ran out, just jump in the river and head towards the shore where the waterfall is and drop your portal. When the game resets and you get off the boat you run to the mouth of the river and portal up and take the GYs.

IMO this is much better than placing the portal behind the gates as the other person suggested because the opposing team can see it and be ready to gank you. They most likely won't notice your portal in the river.

I do not believe it allows the capture of a graveyard until a wall is destroyed tho, so it's great for getting into place, but you can't actually capture it, as i spec'd sub on my rogue and shadowstepped up to the canons and ran to the graveyard flags but it wouldn't let me click them until a wall was destroyed.

But it is great for getting in position, and great WTF's when a wall goes down and then a few seconds later a graveyard on the opposite side is already captured. :P

Also, if you couldn't figure it out, rogues can do this too, by speccing shadowstep and using that to jump up to the canons and run behind them.

Will you spawn at the workshop if you capture it while the walls are still standing or will you spawn on the ship?

If i could -1 rep i would. I invited a lock just to try this trick and he could not cap the gy till the walls were broken. TEST BEFORE POST NEXT TIME BRAH

No good reason to -rep someone mate. And it can be good for other things like ambushing the enemy canons and people standing on the ledges where canons are.

Think I'm going to try this out, got a scrn of a good spot?

This def does not work. It never has. Good testing.

The same thing can be done by a shadowstep rogue. You can step up to a cannon run to the next gate, step to that cannon and so on. You can get in to the courtyard if you want. There is one useful thing though, the rogue can kill both yellow cannons before a single gate is down.

I told me friend about this and he said it didnt work for him

[oreolicius]

I guess it's kinda useful anyway... you can port up and start bombing next walls with the bombs that are placed at their graveyards

So working but not 100% as the poster said. +½rep
