Ive played a lot of huttball, it has always been faction vs faction when i played

on swiftsure server us republic get rolled in nearly all pvp cause ppl just fight and not worry about objectives. we win every now and then but it is a rarety

Very good video.  Everyone that plays TOR should watch it since it is so instructional, and gotta say that Pokket offers some very credible advice.

It's worth knowing the different types of push / pull mechanics for the classes too. One of the most useful is the Sorc Extricate (life grip). While mechanically it does something similar to pass, it executes faster and can pull CC'd players. Since ball carriers are "real popular" if you wait for them to get the white bar CC immunity, then pull them somewhere safer they can usually just walk the ball across the line (out of the pit, after a knockdown usually earns some mvp votes).

You also have to be real careful if the ball carrier is a warrior/knight. As force charge has a massive range, and they can jump to you (and away from your gank squad). Which makes you look even more a tool if you let them out of the pit / onto the goal line.

In my experiance this warzone suffers some pretty extreme server lag on occasions, so it's worth trying to get a feel of the delay to better aim your knockbacks etc. As mentioned the pass chain seems to be by far the best way to win, but don't neglect the ball respawn. If you're all partying on the enemy team goal line when the ball respawns. It's gonna be a quick equaliser. In fact, i'd recommend leaving at least 1 player mid, since if you just throw the ball away (so it's not intercepted, before you get ganked) it resets to center.

Although a good guide, the intro imo whether it counts or not is far to long and music is just horrible, 

This tutorial is a joke and so is Huttball.  BW forces everyone to be in a que for Huttball along with all the pvp warzones because BW knows there wouldn't be enough players to keep Huttball active since it is a joke. I was looking forward to the pvp in SWTOR, but I will never use Huttball.

The only thing that is irritating is the lack of selection of what warfront you want to join. But of all the warzones i experince huttball is the most fun, passing the ball might look easy but it is damn tough to co ordinate with other players. The most challenging warzone in SWTOR at the moment imo.

She made a mistake.  There are NO mixed-faction teams.  But, you can play against your own faction.  Favorite strategy is to electrocute when they are trying to cross the fire.

As a side note, the gameplay in this vid is terrible.  Not sure if on purpose?
