Normal

  • Health: ?? (will have to steal from in-game interface)
  • Special Abilities: Many, but most importantly, Battle Fury and Below Zero.
  • Composition: 10: 2 tanks, 2 healers, rest DPS; 25: 2 tanks, 4 healers, rest DPS.

Absolutely everyone gets a rocket pack. Remember that you can still cast instants while airborne.

Boarding party: 1 tank, 1 healer, melee DPS. If the battle mage isn't up on the opposing boat, don't board it. The opposing captain gets a stacking damage buff the longer he stays in combat; it will eventually outstrip a healer's throughput. So get in, splatter the battle mage, and get out. Tank the enemy captain close to the near edge to be in range of more healers.

Defending party: All other tanks and healers, ranged area-of-effect damage. If you have time when you're not casting or waiting for something to come off cooldown, consider using your rocket pack to land on the head of one of the adds.

Cannoneers: preferably ranged DPS. Cannon Blast until your heat is over 90, then Incinerating Blast. Eject from the cannon when the battle mage appears, before he starts channeling Below Zero. While your cannon is frozen, kill something else -- preferably the battle mage if you can reach him.

Feral Druid Melee DPS: using the rocket pack cancels cat form, but not bear form. When boarding the enemy ship, shift to bear, use the rocket pack, Feral Charge the battle mage immediately upon landing, then shift to cat and start hacking away. The DPS loss from the shifts is probably minimal since you'll be first on the target anyway. If you have nothing to kill, hang around in bear form if only for the armor and health bonus.
