Значит так:

В зоне есть два портала и Сквернопушки (Fel Cannon) возле них.
Подходите к пушке и юзаете ядро, которое дал вам друид. Пушка попадает под ваш контроль. Внизу появляется панелька управления, как для управления петом. На панели будет зелёная кнопка "открыть огонь по порталу" Пли!

Как начнёте стрелять из южной пушки из портала полезут черти. Слабые, но их много-много будет один за другим. Они будут пытаться пушку уничтожить и от них надо отбиваться, НЕ ЗАБЫВАЯ при этом периодически стрелять из пушки! Через некоторое время портал загориться и черти иссякнут. Первая часть задания готова.

С северной пушкой тоже самое, только из портала помимо чертей вылезут ещё и демонические собаки. Одна из них здоровая, плюётся огнём. Чертей, собак мочим и не забываем стрелять опять же пока портал не загориться.

Потом опять пускаем ракетницу и опять прилетает друид с заданием

Комментарий от 219437

насколько я понял, если пушку взорвали, можно подождать респа, и продолжить задание

Комментарий от 446399

забавный квест
особенно для БМ ханта, который без пета просто ноль, а ведь когда пушка под твоим контролем пет пропадает. я уже раз 5 пробовал - не получается((

Комментарий от 551576

Собаки из северной пушки иногда лезут, иногда нет. Они-то , пожалуй, и есть самое сложное.

Комментарий от 549707

Хант 66 лвл, соло. Ставила ледяную и взрывную ловушки, мобы замедлялись настолько что можно было спокойно расстрелять, они слабенькие.

Комментарий от commod

лучше всего площадку перед порталом зачистить
потом юзаем ядро на пушку, появится панелька как у пета и жмем выстрел, чтобы развалить портал нужно раз 5-10
бесов и гончих проще разваливать в ручную

Комментарий от nachtflamme

Пушка заменяет вашего пета, поэтому локам и хантам придется туго

Комментарий от Ballon

Пушки стоят недалеко от порталов
Конкретно чтоб уничтожить надо 7 выстрелов,
Перезагрузка выстрела - 15 секунд, получается за 2 минуты можно успеть, если не нажимать другие кнопки
Бесы выходящие из портала либо умирают при соприкосновении с врагом(но не всегда), либо убиваются с 1 тычки, но наносят аое дамаг умирая, примерно 400-500 урона, примерно метров 5-7. Соответственно аое распространяется в том числе и на пушку
Как вариант стоять между порталом и пушкой чтоб не "убивалась" пушка, либо быстро убивать бесов - автоатаки, ванды
Очень важно: петы не работают на этом квесте, их заменяет пушка

Комментарий от muradinzgordun

Комментарий от Cowz

Бесы умирают от ударов им в спину, при этом не нанося вам аое урон.
P.S. Если у вас стоит аддон Bartender4 или любой другой - на изменение стандартных панелей кнопок - включите панель управления питомцем (если вы её выключали).

Комментарий от golfie

Рекомендую запастись лечащими предметами, маленькие бесы, выходящие из портала взрываются при смерти и наносят урон, что может быть очень критично для персонажей ближнего боя, в особенности для разбойников.

Actually this is soloable by the melee classes, using my tip!
Simply walk slightly backwards as you hit the imp, and you wont get the damage when he dies, just some very small damage from the imp attacking you.
I activated the cannon, and just used artillery whenever it came up. I kept meleeing the imps (walking back as i hit each one) and after 6 the dog came out. I just tanked him with evasion while i kept hitting imps and one more cannonball did it.

Комментарий от Ecofish

It's really easy. Too easy to be honest as a warlock.

Activate the cannon and start spamming it's attack. Meanwhile you tab + searing pain every imp. If you've got anough mana this will be smooth.

Sometimes a hound will be released, but they're easy. Just keep them banished.

Комментарий от 16311

Urgamanix has got it just right. Did it as a rogue following his tip.

Комментарий от 11947

I pulled my hair out.. about this.. I had no options to fire etc.

finally realized that one of my Mod's had Pet Bar Disabled as I'm a priest .. this was so frustrating..

Hope this may help anyone else having this problem.

Комментарий от 16802

I did this as a shadow priest. I just tab-targetted the imps and mind-flayed them one after the other... If one got too close, I casted shadow word: death. It was ridiculously easy once I started doing that. I didn't even have to fire at them with the cannon at all.

Комментарий от 12489

This quest is actually quite simple, don't face the imp's head on! Turn your back to the gate, as the imp's walk by you hit them in the back.. you'll likely 1-shot them and only get around 25dmg versus the 600+ from the explosion. Once again, let them walk by you and hit them in the back, easiest way.

Комментарий от 18555

Yes, you CAN do this as a melee class too, but it's a bit harder though :P On the first cannon when I didn't know exactly what to do, I had to use a Super Healing Potion, but this shouldn't be too hard.

If you don't want this to be troublesome, bring a friend.

Комментарий от 6225

Tip for mages : Imps can be two-shotted with ice lance. Sit next to the cannon , keep it going while you spam ice lance at the imp flood.

Комментарий от aasartor

The explosion from the imps is considered physical damage and thus is mitigated by armor. Warriors, Feral Druids in bear, and Paladins shouldn't have too much trouble absorbing their damage.

Комментарий от BDLandis

As a hunter, had zero problem doing this. Imps were 1-2 shotted on auto shot, just kept targetting them and blowing them away well before they got to me and kept clicking on the cannon's fire every time it was up. :)

Definitely would be rougher as a solo melee class like warrior or rogue.

Southern camp gave me more trouble due to the way the imps came out, I had less time to shoot them down, but still managed without dying, had to pot once 'case the hound ate me up with a few crits.

Комментарий от 27921

Soloed this as a rogue. Instead of backing up or sidestepping, I faced the cannon and just stayed put, backstabbing the imps as they walked past (as energy allowed). For whatever reason, even tho I was stationary, I didn't take any bomb dmg. About half got thru, but it was enough to get the port down before the cannon died.

Комментарий от Core

The cannons are immune to normal heals. Triggered heals like Prayer of Mending work however.

Комментарий от 26693

as a melee, to step back, worked fawlessly

Комментарий от abaji

As of patch 2.0.10 Warriors can "Victory Rush" without a cooldown. So just do that all the way down the chain with your eyes on the cooldown of the pet bar cannon attack and you'll be done before you know it.

Комментарий от 32371

Tip for Shaman: Use Stoneclaw totem right next to the protal, all imps will despawn everytime they attack it. And when it disapears just use earthbind and wait for cooldown.

Комментарий от 10501

this can be done by druids in feral form. just make sure your pet bar is visible

Комментарий от 15218

As a holy Paladin this is a really simple task. In mediocre +damage gear you can one shot the imps with a holy shock, exorcism, and judgement of righteousness, and then you can also one shot them with seal of righteousness + a 2 hander. Made this a quick task.

Комментарий от Eleris

A few druid tips:
You can buff the canon with MotW. You can heal it using rejuvenation and lifebloom. Regrowth doesn't work. I haven't tried healing touch but it likely doesn't work either.
Healing the canon will make the imps aggro you, so it might be useful if you get behind with killing the imps as an easy way to divert them from the canon.

Feral druid tips:
Stay in bear form, in your tanking gear. Try to move backwards as you kill the imps so you avoid the explosion damage.
Use swipe to kill the imps, it's enough to one shoot them. And you should be full rage all the time while doing this.
Auto attack doesn't cut it, it's too slow and if it misses you'll get an imp exploding on the canon.

You'll still have nothing better than the auto attack to kill the imps with while you use frenzied regeneration however, but you can use faerie fire feral to aggro the imps that you miss to alleviate the problem a bit.

If a dog show up, just tank it, dps it down and keep it in front of the canon, and when the canon attack cooldown is up, use the flame thrower attack to insta kill it.
If it fails somehow, just finish off the dog yourself. Use swipe and demo roar while fighting the dog to grab some of the imps as well.

Комментарий от Khabal

VERY easy as a L70 Mage.

Activate the cannon and use Ice Lance against the imps. I did this on another character before (Warlock), and I got hounds that time. This time, I got no hounds.

The only difference in the two times I did it was that this time, I was able to kill all the Imps before they reached the cannons. It seemed like when I allowed an Imp to explode near the cannons, that's when I got a hound.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Комментарий от 1114

What I did to solo this as a hunter was to stand near the gate and as the imps came out I simply auto-shot them or multishot when I could. Usually 1 shot them and they were far away that neither myself or the cannon took any damage. Ranged classes should try this.

Комментарий от 18906

Is it possible to have a pet out when you do the cannon thing?

Комментарий от 22384

easiest way to do as a priest:
sw:death one shots them, cast it every time it's up,
throw PoM on the cannon everytime it's up, otherwise ignore the imps

Комментарий от Jaece

Tanking classes, just tank everything that comes out.

Paladin's, throw down a low level consecrate and do what you do best. :)

Комментарий от 38467

Clear the area around the cannon!

Then use the ammunition on the cannon, a pet bar will appear in the middle of your screen. There are two shots, one that does damage to the gate, and one that kills they imps. What I did was to only use the shots on the gate, and I killed the imps myself.

When the imps attack (they target your pet cannon as default) they blow up and do about 600 damage. Fortunately they had a little more than 400 hp, so they were easy to one-shot. If they aggro you, they run up to you and explode... not fun.

Just keep spaming the shot as soon as it cools down and kill the steady stream of mobs that comes.

Комментарий от 30345

Easily solo'd as a 67 warlock.

Strategy:
Of course you cant use pet so I'm demo spec and demonic sacrifice my imp for more fire dmg, i then just tab targeted any imp that came out and 1 shot it with a searing pain. When a dog came out I banished, easy easy.

Комментарий от 62380

This is probably the easiest quest for a Druid (Feral), before engaging the cannon, just clear the are of any mobs, so you don't aggro by mistake later. Second step is engage cannon, fire the first shot go cat form and just kill all Imps with mangle, mostly likely you will crit and gain health from ILOTP and even better if you have https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=28109 on, to finish off just keep firing the cannon, you and cannon will end quest at full health!

Anyways good luck, hope this has helped someone.

Комментарий от 67876

Strategy for a lvl 70 Holy Pally: Clear mobs around area. Use the cannon ball. Stand about halfway between the cannon and where the imp are coming from. Spam the cannon's shoot button on the pet bar (to the right of your aura buttons) and your consecration. Concencration will pick up most the imps. Flash heal as needed, the imps were exploding on me for about 400 each. They come out at about one per second so I never really tried to melee them, just stayed in one spot and let the concencrate pick them up. A little messy figuring this out on the first cannon. But on the second cannon, I think only one imp got through to the cannon. Took about 7000 mana to finish the fight. If you have less than that, have a mana pot ready :)

Комментарий от Aredict

Shaman: place a Stoneclaw totem near the mouth of the gate, the imps will make to attack it and then explode, doing no damage. This negates quite a few of them, and you can frost shock one to get in quick heal time if ya need it. Otherwise, backpedaling after hitting an imp will "dodge" the explosion more often than not.

Комментарий от 67358

I just stood up near the portal as a bear, attacked them one by one and some of them explode. I am not sure if thorns will help kill them instantly when they attack you.

Комментарий от mynameisob3l

full prot tank even. cake mode

Комментарий от siggboy

If you are a hunter and want to make it even easier: drop a FROST TRAP in front of the cannon, which will slow the imps down and buys you even more time to kill them.

Комментарий от Byronn

Solod as 70 BM hunter with no pet (cursed cannon stealing the petbar).

Cleared the mobs between the cannon and the gate. Killed and nearby lurking hounds. Then just shot the imps as they came out, 1 shot, sometimes 2, they have hardly any hp. pewpew easy quest. quick cash too for the late starter

Комментарий от Axthony

Super easy for Hunters, just auto shot the Imps as they spawn, 2 shots should kill them. 1 shot if you crit.

Комментарий от 31318

Easy for a warlock too. Just stand on the side of the canon and fire your searing pain = 1 shot 1 kill use the TAB button to mark the next. And fire the canon when its ready. so you can do this 1. time..

Комментарий от peilthetraveler

just did this as a 67 lock. The trick is to start firing the cannon right away. Then i would target the imp farthest away and shadowbolt him (i have a 2.5 sec cast time) One shot always killed them. Even if you miss half the imps you should still be able to complete it

Комментарий от chimera

Soloed with 68 dw fury warrior. One item is very good here: essence infused mushroom... Use victory rush and BT to kill the imps.

Комментарий от 87110

If you one hit the Imps they will not explode. As a rogue i just stood in front of the stream of Imps and spam'd Sinister Strike making sure i was not in Auto-Atack

Комментарий от Tigraine

Had absolutely no Problem as a Affliction Lock to one-shot them with Searing Pain.
They have less than 400 hp each.

On the Northern Cannon there seems to be a Bug, sometimes Imp's don't get damage. But that's no big deal.

For the Summoned Wrath Hound some people here mentioned for the Southern Gate, that's just a normal patrolling mob, kill it and you only have to deal with imps, nothing else.

The Imps only explode for 500 damage if they come in melee range. If you either one-shot them or keep them at range you have no need for bandages/hp gear

Комментарий от 70265

For Rogues:

Regardless of what you will take the 500-700 damage a few times... the big secret that made it easier for me was to clear the fight manually with about 1k health left, allow the cannon to take damage while still attacking.

If you back up, you will drop out of combat, eat up to 1/2 - 3/4 health and get going back on it... ended the fight with around 3k of 7k health

Комментарий от nimajneb

Soloed as 69 hunter (BM), not hard imo but just don't forget your pet is changed to the cannon, simply click fire at warp cannon or something at the 'pet's bar and shoot he imps...
P.S.: Clear the mobs around the cannon, else you will pull them (you can freeze one ofc)

Комментарий от DeeBee

To summarize:

After converting the cannon, nothing happens until after your first cannonball attack on the portal.
The cannonball & AoE flamethrower share a 15 second cooldown.
The first cannonball attack causes imps to spawn non-stop from the portal -- about one every 2-3 secs.
The imps explode in a short-range AoE to attack and head straight at the cannon.
The imps have 450hp, according to https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=22474
If you one-shot kill them, they don't explode, they just die.
If you hit and don't kill them, or generate threat in any way, they turn and explode on you instead of the cannon.

You need to have a pet bar available and visible to do this quest. If you have addons that hide it, disable them. If you already have a pet, you'll have to dismiss it.

If you convert the cannon without clearing the area first, the mobs will attack the cannon if they wander within standard aggro range. I had a wandering dog eat my north cannon from behind, since I was paying more attention to stemming the tide of a'splodin imps.

Dogs (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=22500) can / do spawn in at random intervals instead of imps. For me, southern portal spawned none, while the north one spawned two in succession halfway through the cannon blasts.

Some claim that side-stepping, or stepping away from the imp as you hit it may help dodge their exploding damage. YMMV.

If the cannon dies, just wait. It will respawn. Be aware that by this time, previously cleared mobs may be respawning as well.

For shamans - totems are immune to AoE. Use that knowledge as creatively as you want.

Everyone else - you need to figure out a class-specific way of mitigating the damage (heal, bubble, mana shield, plain old soak) or perform many one-shot kills (backstab, earthshock, fire blast, etc). Ideally, you'll have to find a middle-ground of damage soaking, and popping imps, leaving yourself some buffer health / mana / rage / energy to deal with the occasional dog.

Good luck, and have fun.

Комментарий от 72498

This quest was seriously easy as a shadow priest lvl 68. I killed the mobs around the portal and the cannon. Then I took over the cannon and spent each cooldown of the cannon on shooting the portal down. Now the part that made it so easy was that 1 mind flay (2 ticks) was all that was needed for each imp. I couldn't possibly go out of mana or die...

Комментарий от raduking

tips for warlocks:

1. clear all ferguards in the area
2. gather full mana
3. use Searing Pain on imps (they should die from one cast)
4. bomb the gate

Комментарий от FroRev

Hunters: Dismiss your pet before using the cannon ammo, or your pet bar might bug out when your pet disappears. I didn't dismiss mine, so I had to type "/reload ui" to see the new fel cannon bar.

Комментарий от Aifor

It is pretty easy as a mage just be careful not to summon your pet as it uses the same summoned pet bar and only one can be present at a time. Just stand back and scorch and it 1 hits all of the imps.

Комментарий от Fallerup

tactic worked perfectly... (backing up when you hit them) died once in the end but I managed to destroy it:) the 2nd one was no problem.

Комментарий от 91244

I'm doing this as a 60 warlock (in 2.3) and it's horrible.

It's an easy start. Clear the mobs around the cannon and activate it using the item. Not hard. (Note though it takes away your pet!) Once you fire your first shot (on the pet bar), Imps will come in constant waves. They don't hit very hard and have VERY low health (Searing Pain can one-shot them), but they'll kill the cannon if they gather on it.. At the northern cannon after a couple shots I had dog-like creatures begin to spawn along with the Imps, at an increasing rate. They're quite a bit harder and will require a little more firing focus. Note that if you get swamped the cannon also has an AoE ability to fight these things.

If you're an affliction warlock like me, be careful. Dependent upon my Imp for mana, I was surprised to see that Blizzard de-spawns your pet when you take control of the cannon. Though I had no issues with the southern cannon, this proved a problem for the northern cannon. Out of the 5 times I attempted it I got an add (the huge orange dog) 4 times, and having resorted to Life Tapping for mana (even with bandages and a healthstone) I found that (having spammed Searing Pain) by the time he came I had too little health and mana to take care of just him, let alone the waves of Imps and doggies still crashing into my cannon.

I eventually just gave up. I'll re-visit the quest at a later time when I'm stronger.

Комментарий от 100201

just did this as a 67 rogue .. pretty easy .. i just spammed sinister strike .. one hit took them out .. used cloak of shadows when i could .. used first aid once .. 1 try at each one

Mages beware: if you spawn your water elemental, fel cannon disappears because elemetal replaces it as your minion.

Took me a few goes, but finally done it. Rogues, make goos use of backstab. 1 hit kill.

Комментарий от FrightKing

As a a priest and it is your pet. So you can Power Word: Shield it! The damage taken is minimal so the shield will last a while just pick off an imp with a Shadow Word: Death and this is pure easy.

Комментарий от 113439

If you're a shaman, this quest is amazingly easy. Just clear the area, set down an Earthbind Totem near their spawn point, and attack them as they come along. You can use Chain Lightning to take out 2-3 at a time, and use any shocks to get the extras. No problem at all.

Комментарий от Armstrong

Okay, did this last night (and then later helped a hunter do it so we could do the Hound-Master together) as a protection paladin. This is really the no-skill way to do it (after clearing adds/patrollers, waited for big "Summoned..." dog-thing to patrol away):

I put on my spell damage gear (~10000 armor/~9000 hp/~8500 mana, all crafted/quested/AH bought, nothing exceptional) and put myself halfway between cannon and warp gate on imps path. Used the Naturalized Ammunition on the fel cannon and shot it every time the cooldown was up and spammed Consecrate (which in this gear does ~173/tick if I remember correctly). The imps mostly blew up on me and I had to Holy Light once ~2/3 through (cannon got hit by one or two imps but it can take about 4 or 5 hits easy). When dog came out (on North Gate, no dog on South Gate), I tanked him and kept consecrating. When the gate blew, all remaining imps and the dog faded out.

Never used the flame thrower, never directly targeted anything but the dog and let AoE kill the imps. Did not need to use a potion on my solo run (had to one mana potion when I helped the hunter because one of those big Summoned demon dogs (the ones that come out of the gate Bael'mon uses) patrolled into us.

South Gate is much easier IMO because the path the imps take between the gate and the cannon is longer.

Комментарий от 123131

this tip is for all u Shadow Priests out there u just need to use the shot on the pet to kill the gate no need for the AoE unless the Hound comes and Mind Flay the Imps and if they get too close just SW:Death easy as cake ^^

Комментарий от 99207

this quest is soloable for most classes i think, the imps has very low hp, and it's rare that anything else than imps come after you..

Комментарий от 125143

Paladins-

Simply keep consecration down between the cannon and the gate and all the imps will explode on contact! Just dps down the hounds and you'll be fine.

Комментарий от 00bender00

Easy solo as paladin, did it with my alt, put mana regen gear on, BoW, use consecration rank 1 and heal yourself for the explosions.
Kill the bigger demons with seal of vengeange, but remeber to keep that cons. rank 1 down to stop the imps.

Комментарий от Nain

shamans, stoneclaw totem is very useful for this quest. The stoneclaw will aggro the imps and they blow up.

Комментарий от 38292

Despite soloing this with my level 70 warrior, ive still unable to complete this. oh well try again

Комментарий от Suhov

For warriors doing that quest - you have to press 2 buttons. Button 1 - Fel Canopn shoot a Portal (15 secs CD, need 5x);
Button 2 - press Victory Rush.

Just kill imps on a halfway to your canons pressing 1 button without CD. Even if Victory Rush not crited normal hit will finish imp.

Комментарий от penicillin

I did the first cannon np, the second seemed totally bugged. Out of maybe 15 imps 14 resisted my spells and cannon died.

Комментарий от 53766

I keep getting a bug where the fel cannon vanishes while I'm in the middle of the quest. I didn't see its health, but nothing hit it. Anyone know why it's doing this?

Комментарий от parl2001

Insanely easy as a well-geared (pre-Kara blues/greens, no raid epics) feral druid.

1. equip dps gear
2. cat
3. clear around cannon, around gate
4. stay in dps gear, go bear
5. hit the gate whenever the cooldown is up on the cannon (left-click only apparently)
6. get to the imps as soon after they spawn as possible
7. walk backward as you melee them down (1 hit usually, sometimes 2)
8. hit the gate using the cannon...
9. get random pathing add
10. swipe/mangle down the add while you try to swipe-aggro the imps
11. complete without ever going below 75% health

Комментарий от 127201

Really easy as 69 feral druid. Went into cat form... all the imps went down with a single "Mangle (Cat)", and energy regen was enough to keep hitting 'em.

I walked backwards, just to be sure, but none of them really did any damage.

Using the cannon doesn't take you out of cat form, thank goodness!

Комментарий от thisispatrick

INSANELY easy for a feral druid. Just shift into cat, and mangle everything that comes out. Imps die in 1 hit, and the dogs a few more, clearcasting make sure that you have enough energy to keep up with the spawns. Fairly simple quest. I just stood right next to the entrance where they come out and just mangled them one by one. Stream of dead bodies :D

Комментарий от 150342

I found this quest to be completed fairly easily as a level 68 Warlock. All you had to do was activate the cannon, start firing cannons at the Gate, and use Searing Pain on the imps as they walked out. They would die in one shot.

Note: Sometimes the searing pains WOULD NOT WORK on the imps. I do not think they were resisting it, but sometimes the game would not even acknowledge that I casted the spell on them. There was no "resist" notification at all. If you miss one, move to the next, the; the amount you miss will not be enough to kill the machine.

Note: You will lose your summoned demon when you activate the machine.

Note: It takes 7 shots from the machine to destroy the gate. The imps that are out at that time will disappear.

Комментарий от 144063

Комментарий от Bsmx93

Easy solo at a level 66 frost mage, just ice lance all the imps that come out, and if any aggro tags on, let your water elemental take care of them, the imps will die in about 2 hits with ice lance unless it crits, and since it only takes about 127 mana you should be able to kill most of the imps that come out.

Комментарий от persiarash

Note to warlocks:

Do not enslave the demon guarding the cannon, doing so will cause the cannon to despawn (maybe they consider it the demon's pet?). However after waiting for like 15 seconds the cannon respawns, so it isn't really that bad...

Комментарий от Chath

This was really easy as a frost mage, or any mage for that matter.

Just do the bomb ability on the cannon asap and then just spam ice lance. With crits you one hit, otherwise two hit. I have a 7.5k mana pool and I got down to 3k about until the warp gates broke down, none of the imps ever reached me :P

Hope this helped someone.

You may need some help on this quest depending on how much damage you can take and how much DPS you can do. Make sure you stand close to where the mobs come out so they don't get a chance to get even close to the fel cannon. After about 6 or 7 hits the gate should go down.

Solo'd as 68 prot warrior. It was kinda hard, but I spammed Revenge, Shield Slam, and the occasional Concussive (forgot the name) on the Imps as they came out. The single dog that came was easy.

Комментарий от Darkscar

i think i found a way for all you warriors (esp protesct spec)

there is a way to avoid those imps from exploding if you use your abilities and not normal attack Ex: Shield Slam,,Revenge,,Shockwave..... do that with all the imps but DpS the hounds and try not to use the imp flame thing and you'll be OK

Okay, I guess I'm the slow one on this quest... I read all the comments and tried to do this in-game and took FOREVER standing-around trying to figure out what I was supposed to do, and I couldn't figure-out how to get my cannon to fire once I took-it under control. I kept reading comments above about imps and I was saying to myself "What Imps? I don't see any imps!".. so if anyone else is a bit slow like me, here's what you do:

1) take-over the cannon (if you can't figure this out, you're slower then me!)
2) you'll get a "pet action bar" over your own bar (I somehow missed this)... don't summon any pets after taking-over the cannon or you'll lose the cannon!
3) don't use "attack"... for those who use pets, that's not what you use! I sat around for seemingly 10 minutes trying to get my cannon to "attack" once I realized there was a pet-action bar!
4) there's two seperate attack modes on the pet action bar that you do use to attack... kinda colored green and blobish looking... use those to start the attack!
5) once you get-off the first shot, imps will start coming out of the teleporter to attack (suicide bomb) your fel cannon... kill them as quick as you can by any means necessary... they don't have much health but come fast... any area-effect weapons should do quite well here... I used my Death and Decay AoE as a Death Knight... worked quite-well at wiping-out multiple imps.
6) wait for the "cooldown" of the fel cannon and hit it again (and again, and again)... it will take multiple shots to destroy the portal, all while imps try to kamikaze into your fel cannon... kill the imps at all costs.

That's pretty much it... I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do for this quest, so if you're like me, I hope the above helps out!

Tip for hunters:
before taking control of the cannon lay a frost trap between the target and the cannon. This way you can slow imps. Also for those who don't put autoshot to their actionbars, put it on the 1st bar so that you can press Tab(select npc) and press 1(activate autoshot). when they start to come in big numbers just use Volley.

Found this so easy as a lvl 69 DPS, DK. I clicked on my canon ball to actvate the cannon & bar. Stood halfway between cannon and gate, then fired. When the imps come out i just hit them as they went to go past me. They have about 500 hp & if they explode next to you, they hit for about 500 damage. Just click on the cannon's fire bar as the timer completes cool down. I solo it this way and suffered very minor damage.

Комментарий от 172268

As DK, found Death and Decay particularly useful here. Keeping spamming it in front of the warp gate and you'll explode a lot of the imps before they reach the cannon

Комментарий от seebs

Tried this about 8 times in a row. Cannon despawns after about a minute and twenty seconds. Cooldown's 15 seconds.

So far as I can tell, if the cannon despawns that quickly, this is impossible.

And yes, I've completely cleared the area, I'm one-shotting the imps without the SLIGHTEST effort, nothing's touching the cannon. It just despawns after about five shots. Dunno if this is a new "feature".

EDIT:

I'm an idiot.

They nerfed it -- the gate died in under 7 hits -- but since I was counting hits I didn't see the message. So I'd already gotten credit but not noticed.

Комментарий от 103710

I was able to solo this as a 65 unholy DK. I just used lots of icy touch and death coil to kill them from afar. Death and decay also helps

As a Balance-oriented druid, I found that the best way to get rid of the dogs when they come is to throw up Hurricane; it one-shots the imps as they come without having to divert your attention from attacking the dog. Popping Innervate when it cools down is helpful since Hurricane sucks mana down pretty fast. The good news is that the dogs don't show up very often. In fact, I didn't see any on the south cannon! Targeting the imps before they get to you works best. Don't wait for them to get right up to you, because they'll run past you and damage the cannon (learned the hard way). I suggest using a fast-attack weapon if you have one that hits hard enough.

I stood a few paces in front of the cannon so I could intercept whatever came down the pipes before it got to the cannon. Also, I suggest staying in Moonkin form if you have it, and using a weapon that boosts attack power in forms.

Hunters should have NO problems whatsoever since they have automatic ranged attacks.

am i the only one noticing this is bugged ? cant do nothing, i get cannon but no portal and no imps ..

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I soloed this as a 68 rogue, this quest is easy. If your hp gets low, get somewhat far away and bandage. You'll pull aggro, but if you're far enough away you'll have time to bandage.

Don't stand next to the cannon, they pop when they get there.

If a dog spawns, use the other ability (the demon killer one) instead of the attack one.

It's that simple. Bring a pot for buffer. Wear stam gear. Easy and (IMO) a fun and unique quest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I had trouble as a holy priest with the cannon getting blown up by stray adds...

I put Prayer of Mending on myself... and although the cannon is immune to any sort of heals I tried the ProM would hop to it... then back to me. Made it too easy with both me and the cannon being topped off even through repops and pat aggro.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It took me a bit to understand how it all works, and even at 70, this wasn't very easy at all for this enhancement shaman. I didn't die, but failed twice until I had the idea of using my earth elemental totem (fondly referred to as Buford)

I set Buford about a third of the way from the portal on the path the imps were taking to the cannon, stood away from the cannon and started the firing. Only thing I had to do was remember to fire the cannon, and heal Buford if he was getting low. I was expecting a three minute session, but the cannon disappeared before then and I saw that it was a success.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

yeah I know we have it easy. if you can't 1 or 2 shot these things before they get to you something is wrong

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Do all 7 shots need to come from the same cannon? I watch the timer and take a shot with every chance...but it "vanishes" before I can get 7 shots in. I also realized I have to be in combat to make the cannon work. I just clear the area except for 1 victim, banish him (yes I'm a lock) but can't shoot the damn gate enough to destroy it.

Allright...I did it. I just kept up what I did above Banish 1 creature after clearing the area, hit fire every chance I got and Searing Pain after sacrificing an Imp to kill the Imp "bombs"...it can be done with 1 cannon.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

the way I did it was spam ice lance on the imps, they go down in 1 or 2 shots and just fire the gun when the CD is off. easy!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Really easy as a mage, just auto-target + ice lance the imps, and only use the cannon for artillery

Комментарий от Allakhazam

So what the heck is wrong with the quest? I fired the cannon immediately when it spawned and fired it on the cool down every single time. I didn't let one single imp through and the cannon keeps despawning?

This is totally frustrating. Is it a quest bug?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

OK I'm an idiot -- how do you make the cannon fire?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I did this as a 69 warrior, took me a few tries to understand the strat, but I just whirlwind, MS, etc the imps, usually kill them without an explosion. All you have to do is tough it out, and back away/bandage when you get low.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a mage this was cake, imps go down in one or two ice lance's, so there is no need to use the cannon attack on the imps, just kill all imps spawning and use the main attack everytime it is off CD. After about 7-8 shots, the object was destroyed.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

where does this quest start?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This quest is damn near impossible to solo as a Rogue.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i did get an imp every few seconds but I also GOT 2-3 Death Guards at least 1 Hound ...

that's 4 lvl 68s in a few seconds! Nobody can solo that! Was i just unlucky? that they all respawned just then? nobody else here mentions the big guards

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Very easy quest for a Priest:

Clear the area. Stand behind the cannon, shield the cannon, renew the cannon (dunno if that does anything), and sw:death/wand the lil buddies. The dog didn't aggro me because I was standing behind the cannon. Flash heal does not work on the cannon. Shield yourself because the lil buddies get wise sometimes and come after you.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

for the rogues, if you kill the imps with sinister strike, they explode in your face. Try to use backstab to 1 shot them, and you won't get hurt. Only problem is to get enough energy every time...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Easy as a 70 Warlock, drain life every 3rd mob and keep fire the cannon. Only had 1 dog spawn for me which I feared until the warp-gate was destroyed.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a 58 warlock (even a demonology warlock), this was fairly simple.

Clear the area, including patrolling dogs.

The tactic i used was immolating every imp as it came out of the portal, and they tended to die before they got to me.

If the number of imps started to get a bit hectic, I'd skip a couple and let them bomb the cannon, and kept focusing on those that had just come out of the portal.

Had to lifetap and healthstone at times, but it wasn't too bad.

It takes SEVEN shots to damage the portal, make sure you're clicking on the right button in your "pet" bar.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

69 warrior solo

just sat in berserker mode, and victory rushed each of them while having the fel cannon concentrate on the portal

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Um, I'm not too sure why people are complaining about this one... unless, of course, they are 100% unfamiliar with the concept of the pet bar. You use the Neutralized Ammunition on the cannon and you have 2 buttons to click- the left one being the one that damages the portal. After you shoot the first time, the little imp guys come running at regular intervals- keep your cursor over the left pet bar button and click it every time the cooldown pops. For the imps, just tab/shoot/tab/shoot- after seven shots from your "pet cannon", the portal goes boom, and you get a complete notice. Done. What's difficult about this?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Only words for this quest is 'yea right'. If you have something to help you with this great, but this is so not very easy as a rogue. After some 10 attempts at it using almost everything in my arsenal from SS, to mines, and grenades even to hold stuff off I can only say 'yea right'. I would love the exp but I would love to continue to want to play this game without frustration. I suggest you just abandon the quest and get on with the rest of the game.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

as hunter it was fairly easy, however in my first attempt the cannon died and had to retry.
then i repositioned myself so that the cannon, gate and me formed a TRIANGLE. that way i could shoot the imps at will from a distance.
cannon should attack the gate everytime the cooldown expires, as it was mentioned above by another forumer.
there's no need to kill every single imp. target them as they show up from the gate , if one of them gets near the cannon ignore him, and keep killing the ones that pop from the gate.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I was a bit worried after reading the post of a person that said it's impossible as a Paladin, but I successfully soloed it as a level 67 Paladin. Crusader Strike and Exorcism should be your primary abilities: both will kill an imp in a single hit, and with the 2.3 6 second cooldown on Crusader Strike, it can be quite effective.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Tried several times today on Stormrage. Can take control of the cannon but it wont fire no matter what I click. All the adds (imps, hounds) show up on radar stuck inside the gate, and can not be targeted. Opened a ticket.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ok so once i read the comments i realized what needed to be done. Its really easy for any char. Once you have cleared the general area around the cannon and the portal use the cannonballs to take control of the fel cannon. After you do that its really easy. Use the pet attack bar. Use the artillary on the gate attack to start it off. Once you attack the gate with the fel cannon imps will start coming out of the gate in regular intervals and attack the fel cannone.

I just stood in front of the fel cannon with my lvl 69 Bear druid and melee attacked each imp that approached. They die really easily so no worries there. I didnt need to touch any of the fel cannons other attacks so you shouldnt either. Casters should have this pretty easy to since u can use AoE attacks and ranged attacks to keep the imps away from the cannon. Be sure to use fel cannons attack after it cools down and not wait to long otherwise u might run out of time and the fel cannon will dissapear.

Well good luck guys!

just cast ice lance to the imps and keep canon attacking.
easy for me

Комментарий от Allakhazam

very easy quest line soloed the whole lot as a lvl 67 rouge, use SS on the imps they go down in one hit

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As someone said coords are:

North Warp-Gate: 61,60
South Warp-Gate: 65,68

Easy with a partner, and since the next part requires one go ahead and pick someone up for the whole series if possible...it saves some running around.

Quest rewards are WELL worth the effort after the next quest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

70 hunter soloed easily. I got no dog spawns, so that helped I'm sure. One auto shot was enough to kill each imp as long as i had rapid killing up, which i did after i killed the first imp with an arcane shot.

I can't stress enough how simple this was :D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a 70 rogue, it took 1 SS and maybe an auto attack. Each imp has around 600 HP. Stand about 10 feet in front of the cannon and kill each imp as they come out. They only explode if they reach the cannon so kill em away from the cannon. Use the attack every 15 seconds. The attack was Ctrl+4 for me. Only had 1 dog spawn when doing both portals.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

70 Lock - 576 Spell Dmg
All I did was drain life as the imps came out. They died before they got to me or the cannon. This way you'll always have full HP and can life tap whenever you want.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

is this quest broken? i have tried over and over (70 demon speced lock) and when i use the cannonball to take the fel cannon over nothing happens.... it becomes my minion and thats all..... cant attack anything with it....

HEEELP!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It took me a few tries but I did it. I cleared the area. Made sure my health and mana were at full. Just started up the cannon and stood at the exit of the portal and spammed claw as they came out. Doing my best to keep and eye on the cannon so I could shoot it at quickly as possible. don't take control of the cannon until you are full health and ready or you will loose it before the fight is over. I also buffed the cannon. I don't know if that helped but I was able to get both gates within 3 tries doing it this way.

At one time the dogs started coming out the north gate so I used the cannon's flame thrower to thin the mobs but other than that the cannon just fired on the gates. also I started at the opening and ended up kind of in between there and the cannon wacking mobs as they walked by. From time to time I had to run to the cannon and catch one that got by me. Also, I used regen several times during the fight. I would also have a couple of mana potions just in case. I didn't need them but if the fight had lasted any longer I would have.

I won't say it was easy, but doable. Very much like an arcade game though.

I also solo'd the elite in the next quest. With the help of the druid's friends.

Good luck to the next person who tries this. I can say that I didn't like this quest line. they were very chalanging. I don't know how I will do it with my mage or priest later on.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

this quest is impossible i think

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a hunter place a frost trap near the cannon and wait for your trap cooldown to be ready, then fire at the teleporter thing. Once mobs come out they will be slowed, so drop an explosion trap or a snake trap if you have it. I prefer snake trap since the imps seems to explode on contact with most anything, though I'm not sure about that. The snakes also seek out targets. Focus fire on the teleporter, and through a multi shot in when you can. The cannon has HP, and as long as it isnt 0 its fine, so don't panic and try to destroy everything coming out of the telelporter. Just focus fire and after about 4-5 shots you'll destroy it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ummm... it was cake. Druids.... go cat form and just mangle each imp. Fire the cannon every chance you get. I survived with 4K hp left and never healing.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This quest just plain sucks for solo locks. Ummm, blizz our only aggro mitigation is our pet.

Locks, bring a friend.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The quest isn't bugged as of today, and it wasn't too hard to solo as 67 frost mage. But no reason to die here.

Start with South gate, if possible, because follow up quest is right at the North gate:

South Warp-Gate: 65,68
North Warp-Gate: 61,60

Clear all adds. As a mage, I spammed blizzard as the imps come out. Don't endanger yourself! If you can kill them in one shot, fine, if not, the cannon will kill them, but it will lose some life in the process. When the cannon dies, just wait, keep the respawns clear, then do it again. South gate took 3 cannons, North gate is harder because of the dogs, but it only took me 2 cannons because I learned to spam Blizzard to kill almost all the adds until I was our of mana, which kept the cannon alive longer.

Strange thing about this quest is that you have control of yourself AND the cannon, like a pet.
So, just keep firing at the portal when you can, and kill the imps when you are waiting for cooldown.
Don't use the cannon's demon killer option because it resets the cooldown on firing at the portal.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a 69 feral druid this for me was (is) impossible. I only ever managed to get 6 shots off before time ran out or the cannon died! I tried many many times. This becomes the 2nd ever abandoned quest - This is pure arcade gaming at it's worst.

Nah - it's total crap. I can see how some other classes might carve this up quite easy, but with no AoE I think it sux. 2 ppl could probably do this easy - 1 to watch and fire the cannon and the other to tank the mobs. You're not even allowed to heal the cannon so it degrades to a simple shoot-em-up arcade type game based on fast reflexes and keyboard spamming. Like the subject says - for me this was a total waste of time.

Just my 2c worth + a bit of venting of frustration because I hate abandoning quests.

If you managed to solos this .. then WoooHooo for you.

solod it as a 68 rogue quite easily first try, not sure why people are complaining about it being hard, just intercept the imps and i was one shotting them with SS as they headed towards the cannon

Комментарий от Allakhazam

super easy, i just kept setting up a stoneclaw totem, and firing the cannon...really easy.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I, too, found this quest to be glitched for myself. But I was determined to finish this quest. So I fooled around with the gates and found that once I had taken control of the cannon, demons would spawn and PILE UP in the warp gate. So I figured this was what was causing the quest (and subsequently the cannon) not to operate properly.

Here's the fix:

Seeing all the demons piling up on in the warp gate I decided to pull them with Death and Decay (68 DK, OP blah blah, yeah...) and the cannon fired off while I pulled. But then it stopped as more demons piled up in the gate. So I killed the next wave and the cannon fired off again (I had to spam click the firing button, keep this in mind.) So it appears that the cannon fires off after so many demons are killed and so long (/assumption) as there isn't a pile up in the warp gate.

Hope this helps those who get stuck on this quest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

After 3 trys i finally got it.. For a shadow priest all you need to do is shield your cannon and yourself and then fade. Then mind flay every other imp (Mana pots help) constantly spam fire on your cannon so you dont miss a second of your chance to fire.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Kinda hard, but doable.. I'd try get at least 1 potion if not able to heal.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Hunters: FROST TRAP IS YOUR FRIEND. Set one early, let cooldown finish, and keep the frost traps up during the fight. It will save your ass. If you're an Entrapment Hunter, go ahead and have a beer cause this is gonna be a breeze.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As other Locks have said Searing Pain all the imps and clear the area before you start the quest. Easy as. First time I though I had to stay near the cannon and died. After that, just Searing Pained them as they came out of the thingy and it was over pretty quickly.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

funny u people saying how easy it is with just "imps" in your posts, yet you dont mention the hounds that spawn after the 2nd cannon shot !

tried it 4 times, each time after 2nd cannon shot, 3 hounds came

once the hounds come with imps, u dont have time to kill the hounds and protect the cannon from imps, seeing as how imps do 450+ dmg when u kill them if your within 2yds !

stop lyin !

Комментарий от Allakhazam

pretty sure no one wants to here how your class finds it easy to solo. most people search quests like these for cords in this quest. i would think cords for the cannons more important then your particular strat ,not that you solo'd the quest as a mage or lock

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This was just very hard to do solo. I did the south one solo after dying like 3-4 times. When I was about to die on the north one, I go help from a 70 lock that I completed it and the following q with in a heartbeat...

The way I did it was to activate the cannon after clearing the area. Then after first shot with cannon, I placed a Frost trap outside the gate to slow down the imps so I had time to kill the, Don't get close to them as they will explode in your face. They are easy to kill.

The dog (two-headed) is a pat that would be nice to kill before u start. On the north one, there is even 1 or two more pats that I would clear first.

Doing this q as 2 in group is an absolute recommendation to save time and headache. I had 38 armor left and 5g in repair

Комментарий от Allakhazam

the quest is piss easy as a shadowpriest...i started the south gate destruction with 50% HP and 70% mana and finished it with 40% hp and 50% mana...mindflay and shadow word:death does the trick...any you will have Spirit tap on through whole time

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I did not find it necessary to shield the cannon. I am Prot pally level 70.
It took me several times to destroy the south gate, but i did not get alot of adds, clear the area first. then you only have to worry about the imps and maybe one dog. The cannon lasts for 3 min. , and then it goes away, if you do not suceed the first time, just do it again, until it works.
The north gate works the same way, but more adds there than at the south gate.
Coordinates are 64 68 and 61 60.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

ok heres an easy way to do this quest for any of you druids having problems
there is a glitch with this quest u cant heal the cannon usally u can still put on HoTs but they wont do anything EXCEPT LIFEBLOOM the intial ticks of lifebloom wont heal anything but the final tick will so if ur having issues with keeping the cannon alive that should help

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Well a big thanks to everyone who told us how they did it, but not what to do if the quest doesn't work. After alot of messing about, if the cannon will not fire (even if you use the pet bar!) Try attacking something then firing the cannon, that seem to work for me. The cannon would not fire unless i was in combat.
cheers

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This quest should indicate that it requires more than 1 person. The imps go down in 1 hit (paladin melee) but trying to manage the cannon and spawns was too much for me. If one person kills the spawns and the other uses the cannon it shouldn't be too bad. I'll post if I find someone to help.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Somewhat impossible as a rogue, each imp you kill damages you for 650.
Gave up after 4 tries.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

69 lock, no problems... Just kill the demons surrounding the cannon, and use searing pain on the imps... Saves mana and one shots, i have 600 extra dmg, but anyway...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I had a really hard time with this quest as an Affliction lock, especially with the other Warlock tips: the imps just weren't taking damage from my Searing Pain. That may have been a bug, but it forced me to come up with a new strat:

Stand closer to the gates than to the cannons -- I stood on the opposite side from where the imps spawned. Every time an imp got in my field of view, I hit it with corruption; the first tick landed before the imp got to the gate, and it turned around to hit me. The second tick hit it before reaching. Bring a healthstone, because you'll almost definitely need to lifetap. And of course, don't forget your Soulstone.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Immolate worked fine for me. Immolated almost every imp that came out and they died before reaching me. Just remember to fire at the gate when the cannon's attack has cooled down. Will probably need to drink a potion too or bandage. Not giving coords cos it's exactly as the Q says. One to the north and one in the south.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

LOL. tried this 4 times now as a holy priest and it sucks. big time. I'm still there atm. as a corpse. gonna HS after i res. what a waste of time. Will have to get guild help later

All went well till the doggie came out. popped pom but still got hammered. then the fel guard dudes respawned in front and behind me. bah

lol

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The thing with this quest is...you don't have to stand at the cannon to make it work. You can move around and kill stuff and still work the cannon's buttons. Solo'd easily as a 68 Shaman.

Also, if you're having problems getting the cannon's control buttons to appear I've found turning off the add-ons Arcane Bar and Bar Options helps. Don't forget to reload your UI.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

ok... on the North gate u can clear the surrounding are and then Intercept the imps as they come out.,.. use your pet bar to ONLY attack the gate... The trick is to intercept the imps with Sinister Strike so u can 1 shot them and they dont blow up... you'll miss some... so dont be afraid to pot or bandage, if u grab agro from imps u can sprint and kite them allthewhile firing your cannon at the gate. Good luck...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Be aware that when you click the ammo to use cannon you will get a pet bar just above your left action buttons. This will dismiss any pet you have out.

Click on the attack warp portal (left green button) and wait for cool down and click it again as soon as cool down is up. Takes like 5-6 to destroy portal.

As soon as you take control of cannon imps will start to come out fairly quickly they have only about 450 health and go down quickly. If you don't kill them before they reach cannon they slightly damage the cannon.

STRATEGY that worked for me: Stand near the portal where the imps come out and you'll meet em way before they can get to cannon. Remember to click on artillery as soon as cool down is over.

Lastly, as noted in other posts clear the front of portal of any mobs or they will come with the imps.

This was easy for me as a rogue once I figured out what was going on. Keep in mind the cannon doesn't have to be in perfect condition it just has to survive for the 1 min 45 sec it takes to fire 7 shots. Clear the area around the cannon (incl any pats that may come near) and start the event, put yourself in the middle of the line of imps as they come (they will go for the cannon and pass you by). As you have energy, backstab and you will kill them without taking any damage. Fire the cannon when the cooldown is over. Don't bother with the flame thrower mode. Don't worry about any imps that get past you either.. If you kill only a 3rd of them you will still be fine. I got one hound on the north cannon and I blinded him and kept going. Once the gate is destroyed the spawned mobs go away so just focus on getting it done.

All I did was drain life as the imps came out. They died before they got to me or the cannon. This way you'll always have full HP and can life tap whenever you want.

Ever wondered why 90% of ALL lvl70 server firsts are like mages?

Yeah this quest is a perfect example... it's imposible for any class that doesn't not have any ranged ability's... The southern cannon was hard... the northern cannon was imposible with my paladin. I have no doubt I can solo it with my warlock tho...

So to answer anyone, you take the cannon and then you get "pet" controls above your toolbar(unless you have changed your UI that is). I don't have a custom UI or any addons, yet at first the controls didn't come up, did a console reloadui and it came up.

If your a healing/shielding class its pretty easy too. However for those who can only use pots and are trying to solo(like warriors).

You can always stand back let the imps hit the cannon, get a couple of shots off with the cannon(which btw you can do while your fighting so not sure why people think you need to control the cannon and 1 to fight). It takes 5-6 from my count to destroy it. So if you can let the cannon take some of the damage then you merely have to last through the other 2-4 shots, depending no how many you get off before you need to step in to save the cannon. It's not a total wimp and can take more then a few hits from the imps.

This quest is not that hard, its simple if you just know what to do.
this is how I did it:

Took controle of the cannon
started attack with 'Artillery on the warp gate'
then I stand in front of the cannon and just use 'attack' to kill the Imps.
and as soon as the cooldown on Artillery was gone i attacked again.

But I am a shaman and I healed me once, but I think everyone could solo this. Use ranged if its possible.

I did this quest as a lvl 70 Fury Warrior with no problems.

First cleared the area, including roaming dogs.
Then activate cannon firing.
Stand in path of Imps and Whirlwind, Bloodthirst, or Victory Rush to kill each one, maybe 1 got by but that was fine - cannon has armor enough for a couple of Imp hits.
Keep firing at Warp gate when cool down is over.
Once a summoned dog came at me too, but he was summoned by the Final guy(Houndmaster) near the North Gate he did NOT come out of the gate your destroying, its just in his patrol path.
Imps will disappear when gate blows(burns)

All in all it took maybe a minute for each gate(5 or 6 cannon firings). I healed after each gate - np to solo.

Pretty much the same tactics apply for Classic. Clear the mobs in the area (if you are on a PVP realm, make sure there's no ganker asshat Alliance scum nearby, if there are kill them) set up the cannon and fire when ready.

As a Hunter, place your frost trap in the path of the imps, then get back and auto-shot (it takes 2) each imp, and multi-shot when off cooldown. Set your next trap when it's cooldown is done, you should get a little leeway on the existing one for a full coating throughout. Proc your cannon when it's ready again, and if you somehow mess up and have a line of imp you can't handle, proc the anti-imp beam while you set up a new frost trap.

You really should have no reason to fail this, unless: More Alliance scum gankers arrive to screw you over coz they are bad at fair 1v1 PVP, or; on rare occassions the game respawns in mobs early. If you are an Alliance scum hunter you an also follow this advice, though if you are on a PVP server you don't have to worry about Hordies, unless you are a ganker, in which case you're screwed, since Hordies love to gank gankers.

As a Warrior or Rogue enjoy your slow, but steady reaping of imps as you fire off cannon blasts intermittently. Should really be a problem for you, so long as you have enough pots to keep you alive should you get too many mobs on you. Again, PVP servers have the same issues, but it might be worth guilt-tripping a hunter into placing some traps for you, and helping out pick off the imps you miss.

As a Warlock you have nothing to worry about. Send in your tank pet, and DoT down all the imps while you laugh maniacally.

As a Mage you equally have little to worry about. Do your thing.

As a Priest you may have a bit of an issue if you are healer specced, but it shouldn't be too much trouble with Holy Nova on your side. Shadow spec has no issue with this quest either.

As a Paladin or Shaman you should be just fine, given your inate abilities to deal with multiple targets and self-heal. You prolly won't even need to self heal, given how weak the imps are.

Druids can screw off. You guys are broken in TBC. You need no strategy, just faceroll everything like you normally do...

If you've lost the quest item to start this one, go back to Ruuan Weald and talk to Wildlord Antelarion (the centaur dude that patrols around in a circle)
