The Dockmaster Mission Guide

This guide focuses on the Heroic Dockmaster encounter in Elwynn Forest; the normal version is part of the tutorial.

Minis in The Dockmaster’s army

• Earth Elemental - Obsidian Shard
• Firehammer - Moultin’ Metal
• Molten Giant - Blood of the Mountain
• Ogre Mage - Ignite
• Pyromancer - Pyroblast
• Vultures - Migration

Other minis and map mechanics

Dockmaster has two Ogres who toss barrels that hit ground minis down both lanes. Each Ogre has 5 barrels, and when they run out, they switch sides and a new group of 5 barrels spawns for them both.

The Dockmaster:

• 5250 health
• Sword hit: 575 Physical damage, melee range, 1.5 seconds attack speed, hits ground minis only
• Dagger Throw: 69 Physical damage, 10 range, 1.5 seconds attack speed, bounces to 3 other targets

Dockey Kaang and Fonkey Kaang (the barrel Ogres):

• 2100 health
• Tosses a barrel every 4.75 seconds
• Barrels deal 740 Elemental damage to ground minis
• Does not respawn if killed

General strategy

You can either try to avoid the barrels, or you can kill the Ogres to carve a path. Spells like Execute are good at this, especially when the Ogres switch sides and you can hit them both with a single spell.

Flying minis can avoid the barrels, so minis like Gargoyle and Harpies can also be used for an assault. Gargoyle can be especially strong if you can protect it with other flying minis or spells.

Molten Giant can be stolen with a Banshee to acquire a sturdy tank on your side. In most maps where there are Molten Giants, you want to use a Banshee to steal them.
