Really easy RTS inspired quest. Focus mainly on using your arrow and sun abilities, they'll do the most damage.

This was bugged for me as a hunter.

There were no descriptions of the abilities and no other mobs spawned after the first group.
I abandoned the quest and tried again, same thing happened.

Then I dismissed my pet and it worked flawlessly.
Submitted a ticket and the GM said it was a known issue and will be resolved in a future (hotfix ?) patch.

Use the sun's Radiance ability if you get overwhelmed! It will heal your units and deal terrible damage to the opponent.

I laughed when I read terrible damage.

There still seem to be some issues. When the quest was complete, nothing happened. I couldn't get out of that overhead view. I had to log out, and back in, then I could just complete the quest.

same issues happened to me. 1 group then nothing.

to see if fix, i "left vehicle" then talked to the sergeant again.
It restarted and got to do/complete the quest.

If you don't get more than one group, try sending your infantry (1) all the way to the bottom of the ramp, it's part of the 'training' for it and if you don't go all the way it won't do the next few steps (showing you what 2 and 3 do).

If you find this quest makes your game freeze when the battle begins, as I did, turn off MSBT (Mik's Scrolling Battle Text).

I just completed this quest, dismounted and went to turn in. Just before I got into the building, every NPC around me(including quest NPC's) and myself were instantly slain by Deathwing. All that work for nothing! :)

Great fun. Completed, abandoned and re-completed six times, just for fun. Never abandoned completed quests just to redo them for fun before. Maybe this quest or one like it could be a daily sometime in the future? Was trying for max defenders left alive at the end of the encounter (...seven).

Comment by V4LROC

As a DK you do a tad more damage because the minions you control can do a Rune Strike attack...

Really cool quest ! Send in the troops, hit with the archers and BOOM with some sunshine !

Comment by MsPhelix

Well, it wasn't all that easy for me - it took me 4 tries :(
2 Hints:
Try to stop them right under your fire controls, before they get into the plaza;
Use the button 3 ability as much as possible.
I had no problem with the turn in or getting the next 2 quests.

Comment by bobalmity36

the fastest way to complete this quest is to put your infantry right in front of your archers so that the enemy gathers into one spot and u can aoe them

ps. to kill the big one faster, have your infantry tank him to the walls of the temple building and use the sunshine skill so that it knocks him towards the wall...otherwise it knocks him out of the aoe area

XP was nerfed apparently.
Great source of XP if you just do the defense over and over (exit vehicle before killing the last guy and then talk to the NPC to start again). At level 89, I got 6.5% for each defense, which took me about 1:40 on average, so it only took about 30 minutes for 89-90. I'm not sure if it's the same at other levels. I did 87-88 much faster because I was rested for most of the level.

Edit: I'm leveling another alt through the area, so I decided to make a slightly more thorough guide. First of all, I neglected to mention before that I'm wearing heirlooms, which affects XP gained. I don't have rings, but I get +45% from the head, shoulder, back, chest, and leg armors.

Secondly, I no longer kill the colossi that spawn, as they don't seem to give XP, and probably wouldn't be worth wasting time on even if they did. This cuts the time down from 1:40 to 1:16. So assuming you take 4 seconds to exit vehicle and start again (it's really faster than that though), and 6.59% XP per defense, it takes just over 15 defenses or about 20 minutes per level. Also, this time around, I'm still getting full XP at level 90. Last time I did this, it became insignificant as soon as I hit 90. XP reduced to 541 per mob at level 91 (was 668 at 90), or about 5% per defense. XP reduced again to 380 per mob, 3.5% per defense, at level 92. At this point, I decided to move on to Draenor.

Here is an imgur gallery I made showing where to aim each shot: https://imgur.com/a/S6IIT . Fire each shot as soon as the group it targets spawns (the first one being as soon as you start the defense). Also note the use of the #3 ability for the fifth shot. This is because at that point, the groups spawn in quick succession, and #2 attack seems to have a slightly longer reload time than the GCD, so you could attempt to fire that, triggering the GCD, but not actually launch any arrows, which would set you behind. It's possible to make the shots, but requires very precise timing. It's better to just use #3 there instead.

Comment by hotcore

This quest was bugged and giving a lot of xp at a rapid pace - making it a very fast way to level. However as of 06/19, it was hotfixed and no longer gives good xp.

Comment by Gannord

The XP rewards for killing an enemy in the scenario is nerfed. Now you get 8 XP at Lvl 84 (16 if you have rest XP) for each enemy killed. However, I just found that your also get XP when the NPC die, and each NPC die will give you 698 XP at Lvl 84 (1369 if you have rest XP). So I just enter the fight, then wait for 2.5 minutes until the enemies kill all the NPC. OK, your XP bar gained 4% of XP towards Lvl 85.
