gunship battle rocket pack useage

[kargho]

When you equip the Goblin Rocket Pack for the gunship battle you can use it to jump over to the other factions boat, but what most people don't know is that you can do a substantial amount of dps with it. As a tank I am able to top the meters without even trying hard using the rocket pack.

The first useage of it is for melee dps or hunters (or arcane mage?).
What you do is use the spells in your regular rotations but you use the rocket pack while your sitting on the GCD which does 2000 damage per target for a small jump. It also slows attack speed of enemies effected by 20%.

The second useage might be an exploit, I'm really not sure.
It requires the use of a slowfall mechanic like slowfall, levitate, engineer cloak enchant). Since the more jumps you make the more damage you will do when you land, you can easily do 60k damage upon landing after floating around with a slowfall.
This is great for if you are assigned to stay on your ship as a melee and you have nothing better to do while waiting for the next portal to spawn.

Just watch at how much threat you do because if your tank isn't using at least the first technique then you will pull threat very easily.

I hope this guide helps some people with this fight.

So what we do is basically bunny hop with slowfall on, untill we're waaay up high, and then come plummeting down for 100k damage? sounds good.

I actually do the first one with my DK, as my rotation is all global CD, between skill and skill, use the rocket pack aiming to your feet so you are not jumping, just landing on yourself, doing 2k damage the all enemies around you.

Useful when aoeing the adds in your boat.

About the second one... it is necesary to have slow fall? I can keep in the air as long as i am jumping from one side of my boat to the other side, because the far you aim to land, the far you go high. Repeat this in the air, and you wont touch the ground until you stop.
I cant stand in the air various minutes without touching the floor and without using slow fall mechanism, will this work?

I will test it tomorrow.

i only showed a second method because on servers like the one im on there is lag almost every day of the week and timing something like that can be imposible without slowfall

Would this also work on the enemy sorcerer you think? like just jumping around while waiting for it to spawn at your ship(with or w/o slowfall) and then just instantly going on her like boom with 3/4 people to instant kill?
If that'd work the fight would be like, well easier as it is now xD

yes having mabey 10 people do that assuming 25 man raid should kill the sorcerer almost instantly, and jumping over to the other boat after making any number of jumps on your own boat is as far as I know impossible as you will not be able to jump far enough, unless you have slowfall
