ICC 10m - Gunship Battle

Unfortunately I wasn't present for our 25 man kill of this boss, however the strategy is much the same in both versions. I've also got an eccentric taste in music, so expect this to be the first of many songs you're unfamiliar with.

The strategy for this fight is fairly simple, take down the enemy's ship before they can take down yours. You can check the health of both ships on the right hand side of your screen, assuming you don't have any mods that change that.

To damage the enemy ship you must assign a few players to full time cannon duty. Cannons can overheat if their main attack is spammed too much, so be sure to cast Incinerating Blast periodically as your "Heat" meter fills to drain away heat. You should be able to down the enemy ship in 2-4 rounds of fighting.

While your gunners are busy firing away, roughly half the group will need to jump to the enemy ship using the Rocket Pack that is handed out by the Goblin on your ship before the battle starts. The rocket pack goes in your shirt slot and can be placed on your action bar to be used when needed. On the enemy ship you should send some melee dps, at least 1 healer, and 1 tank. The tank will have to tank the enemy commander which cannot be killed and has a stacking buff that increases his damage to ridiculous levels. The only way to get rid of this buff is to jump off ship for a short time and let it fall off.

Your DPS on the enemy ship needs to take out the enemy Mage that spawns every 25% of the ship's HP, as they will freeze your cannons. After the mage is dead, you should jump back over and help clear up the invading Reavers/Marines on your boat. It's generally a good idea to keep your ranged on your ship along with a tank and at least 1 healer. The ranged DPS will have to take out the Axe Throwers/Riflemen on the edge of the enemy ship, which if left alive will get stronger the longer they are up.

If you keep this cycle up, you won't have a problem winning this fight. It's a lot easier than it seems, just takes a bit of practice to get used to. The I'm On A Boat! achievement shouldn't be too difficult either with some practice, as it only requires you to have each player visit the enemy ship only once.

isnt your dps a bit low i know some shadow pris hitting 8-9k with mind flay :o

no offense i dont really know priests just was curious

[Saeris]

Well, many priests are a lot better geared than I am. I'm just in tier 9 with a few 10m togc heroic items here and there with some healing gear interspersed. However I've never seen a priest hit for 8-9k with just mind flay.

[Extremeguy182]

what was ur deeps, and in your 25 mans whats your normal average dps?

[Saeris]

mine in this was around 4k dps. it's usually around the same in 25 man's, some times as high as 5k depending on the fight. average raid dps for my guild, at least where melee are concerned, can be anywhere from 5k-7k on average. casters usually are a bit lower than melee.

Alliance and horde bug off. For the murlocs!

[Zyxxs]

The music's the biggest complaint I have with this as well. Weeboo much?

[Killergodd8]

@Saeris You Are Correct About The Mind Flay Damage. I Am In Heroic Gear And I Can Pull 18k DPS But I Only Do About 6-7k Damage With Crits I Average 5k Per Hit.

Also A Quick Question Y are U Not Using Mind Sear On The Axe Throwers I Am Just Wondering

[rosariolilliantgoq]

nice clip. have any of you guys looked at the wow cheats pack at warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? it is incredible, i just down loaded it. it's got totally everything inside it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the new arena glitch. i probably shouldn't tell people about it however at the very least this gives you all a reasonable opportunity to obtain it before i own all of you!

[oinchadoomandwolfboy]

Everytime we do this fight, we always just set it to heroic mode, better loot and heroic mode isnt hard.

WHAT UP WITH SHIT MUSIC

[sigge951]

EASY PEASY

[DeltaBravo81]

Damn the life boat on the Alliance ship, extremely annoying to jump around, wish the alliance had an equivalent pain

Oh, FOR THE HORDE!

[2scu]

AKFG has nothing to do with anime.

Yes, there are some animes that use their songs and promote them thus, but AKFG is a high-quality alternative rock band, like a Japanese equivalent of Weezer, but in better quality.

Why are people making bad comments about the music?

Asian Kung-Fu Generation is one of the world's-best Rock bands!
