What's that you say?
48 hours from Realms and you have no clue what to play?
Should I go for offense and try to kill?
Or perhaps I should just turtle and take the hill?
Perhaps a low honor team is the way to go?
Or maybe I should just play Zoo, wait, NO!
Well have no fear, don't you fret.
We've saved the best for last, you better bet!
So sit down and behold, as we have your answer...
Say hello to a rough warrior and two fire dancers!

Yes kids, this week, I would like to share a concoction with you that will both offer those of you with no clue what to play, an option, and others will have the thought of, "hm, ok, how do I handle that one now?" in your head.

This week, we have a mighty Warrior in Wilton Thorne, bookended by two smoking hot fireballs:




















First thing you will notice is that this battling band of miscreants is only 12 honor.  No, it's not murlocs, not it's not iceblock madness, it's a combination of a lot of things, but it's a 12 honor team that's going to throw down some serious DPS, with a mini that camps the hill.

First you have Wilton, with his Heroic Leap and first tick hill capture.  If he's knocked off, Breakthrough gets him right back into the thick of things.  So from tick 1, you are already scoring points.  Additionally, you can add the Helmet for insurance that he doesn't move as well, and for no more honor!

Then, here come the firebombs!

Enaria is a solid 4 honor mini.  She packs flamestrikes for massive AOE DPS and Arcane Blast for finishing moves.  Some of you may never have played with Arcane Blast, it has power, let me tell you.  Plus, it's 2 tick option to reuse it while tapped for the cost of one less and removing it is amazingly good when you are pushing for the win!  And, if needed, she has Polymorph and Spellsteal, to handle any pesky annoyances or iceblockers in place of the Arcane Blasts.

Additionally, her main attack tick up crit is an awesome finisher as well, ticking someone up three when they die off the crit.  And with Wilton holding protector, he'll be sure that she is around to do some massive damage.

Do they survive?  No, they WILL die.  Can they get 4 points off the hill?  Sure!  Can they get two kills to go along with that?  Heck yes!  Can they do it before most teams get to their VP total, well, my answer is yes, but I'll let you try that out...

Now I know, this isn't Vashj DPS, and it isn't Velen Wall holding the Hill, but give it a try and you may be surprised.  Brom on the boards has done some interesting testing of 12 honor teams as well if you would like to take a read here, but one we put together, is by far, a (fire) blast to play around with.

Good luck at Realms, no matter what, or how, you play!
