In military strategy, a choke point (or chokepoint) is a geographical feature on land such as a valley, defile or a bridge, or at sea such as a strait which an armed force is forced to pass, sometimes on a substantially narrower front, and therefore greatly decreasing its combat power, in order to reach its objective. A choke point would allow a numerically inferior defending force to successfully prevent a larger opponent because the attacker would not be able to bring their superior numbers to bear.

  • A choke point is a narrow part of a PvP map when passing through it will force your team to cluster together. Passing through a choke point when opposing teams have AoE spells is often considered folly because your entire team will be caught in the AoE damage. Many teams choose to wait on their side of the choke point rather than pass through it and get caught up in their enemy's fire.
