Ignore cannon freeze entirely on Gunship event.

[Veon]

Found this out by accident today as I was raiding ICC-25. If you can get your gunners to do this successfully you won't have to jump over to the other boat for the entire event. (Awarding you the On a Boat achiev as well as making this a lot simpler)

Enough babble

1. Sorc comes up on deck

2. The moment she/he casts freeze, click exit on the cannon.

Enjoy!

Will test tomorrow when lock resets, will +rep if it works.

Edit: Also, do you mean, when she starts casting or finishes casting?

The first time can be a bit hard to time but once you've done it once it's easy. She runs up to the deck and then stops for a bit and looks at you, then raises her hand into the air and starts casting. You have to exit the moment she starts casting.

Because the channeling time on blizzard is almost infinite if you get 3-4 (maybe even just 2?) cannons to do this you wont have to jump over, ever.

Alright, thanks.

Did this by accident a few weeks ago, Me and the other dps jumped out while she was running to get over there faster, but she just ran away and despawned.

Well that's something else because that's not really how this work, the sorc will still stand there channeling, just you wont be frozen (as evident from the screenshot)

[bagelmaker]

may as well hide this, as it works. I did this in our 25 alt run before reset.

The sorceress runs to their scripted spot, and roughly 2.5 seconds later you are kicked off the turret as she then starts channeling. The goal is to watch her run to the spot, stop, count to 1.5-2 seconds, and then hop out.

You'll get it ever time.

works great

[mASTAW]

does this still works or hotfixed? dont wanna get in trouble with the RL cuz of jumping out too quick >_>

[Cocco]

you lose 1 sec. Damage.... *cry* ... i think it´s not hotfixed. I can test it today

[Dredmau]

still works got it 3 hours ago.

[jimskill4]

Also tested it a couple of hours ago. He no longer stands and waits before his freeze cast, but if your lucky and time it perfectly (We managed to by fluke after we decided to do the achievement correctly) The mage will despawn and you wont even get one for the rest of the fight!

[Veon]

Still works as of today but slightly harder to time. You have to wait exactly until the last moment now.
