The Gunship Battle Tactics and Strategy: Assignments
Off Tank: Defence, picking up adds
Melee DPS: 2 for Offence
Ranged DPS: Defence
Healers: 1 Offence and 1 Defence
Gunship Battle Offence Team Tactics Strategy
1. Assign 2 melee DPS to the guns. These will be your offence team who take down the opposite factions mage when the guns get frozen.
2. Assign a Tank + Healer combo to the oppositions leader (Saurfang / Muradin) on Offence, the healer should stay on your ship and the tank should pick up the opposite factions leader and tank them close to the edge so the healer can reach them at range.
3. It is VITAL that the DPS dont board the other ship until after the tank but leave the opposite ship first, get someone to shout out when it is safe for the tank to come back.
4. The enemy mage MUST go down as fast as possible and your Melee MUST return to their guns and focus on DPSing the oppositions ship as quickly as possible.
Gunship Battle Offence Tactics Strategy
1. The rest of the team stays on defence with the Tank who will be in charge of picking up the adds.
2. If the enemy mage isnt going down fast enough divert one of your ranged DPS to help.
3. Dont stand on the areas that get highlighted with a target icon, its where the rockets will land.
4. ALWAYS kill the general first, he does a nasty whirlwind that can take out your non tanks pretty swiftly.
The Gunship Battle Tactics and Strategy: Execution
The attackers have a couple of things to worry about as well. Saurfang/Muradin will try to annihilate your raid - have a tank on him, and be mindful of the stacking Battle Fury buff, which increases the commander's damage. If the buff starts getting to high you can find yourself in trouble, this is usually an indication your DPS on the mage is low and the kill of the mage is taking too long. DPSing the leader is useless - have your DPS quickly burn the mages whenever they appear, and killing Axe Throwers/Riflemen and Rocketeers/Mortar Soldiers when no mages are present.
