I AM IRONMAN

Commentaire de Pepperly

This is funny because theres a movie named Ironman!! LOL!

Commentaire de 84526

Good luck to anyone who isn't a prot pally or resto druid.

Commentaire de Korgalla

Pretty sure it is in reference to the Ironman Triathalon.

Commentaire de persiarash

Eh if your team knows what to do, you can easily do this regardless of your class. It also helps if the opposing team is... noob. We've had mages walk the flag and then capture it w/o even getting into a fight...

Commentaire de devvvour

persiarash is actually right, also thing like Nifty Stopwatch and Swiftness Potion may ease up your life :)

Commentaire de Lonkeroinen

"capture the flag 3 times without dying. "
Meens that you can't die in the WHOLE WSG, not just between the captures.

Commentaire de 26725

You can actually complete this acvhievement by having someone else carry the flag for you. As long as you don't die, and cap all three flags you will complete it.

Commentaire de jaxsonbateman

This achievement is obviously easier for some classes than others (ie. druids and shammies); however it seems quite doable by any class. You'll get some games which are completely dominated by the other team, some which are even, and some where your team totally dominates - those are the games where the 'weaker' flag runners can get their Ironman achievement.

Personally I just completed it on my holy pally - while it's not the worst running class, it's certainly no druid or shammy. Basically, I equipped my Nifty Stopwatch and started flag running - using the stopwatch on the second attempt as I was set upon at the end of the tunnel. It works extremely well; speed boots through the tunnel, Hand of Freedom, and Nifty Stopwatch to your own.

If you're serious about completing this achievement, I'd invest in some Swiftness Potions. They're cheap (in terms of mats; the actual pots tend to sell for higher), and obviously help you get the flag away from the enemy quicker. Free Movement/Action potions are also pretty good if you have no way to break snares (outside of your trinket, and with how much CC there is in the game chances are it'll be on cooldown when you need it most).

In any case, this is an achievement which is doable by all, and I must admit it was a lot of fun yelling in guild "I AM IRONMAN" as I ran the third flag in.

Commentaire de stormeh

Had no idea this achievement was around until I actually go it today. Naturally it was a lot easier for me (Prot warrior, 6/8 T6) and the healers on my team were quite capable.

Best moment was probably on my 3rd run back, which I now look back at, and realize the Hordes probably wanted to break my streak. I had no less than 15~20 debuffs on me (dots, poisons, you name it, I had it) and was quite funny seeing all the healers in a pug coming to my rescue :)

Commentaire de VaughulEU

I just did this, really easy ^^
I took two flags from their base, but then a Shaman of my team took it.
I asked him to give me flag, and he gave it in horde tunnel.
Then i scored, and I had 3 without dying

PS: I had two healers with me all the time ^^

Commentaire de 173118

I got this little beauty today on my 56 rogue. Kind of ironic, who thinks of a female gnome as an "ironman." Considering that 7 of their 10 players were DKs, and I didn't get death gripped once while carrying, I'm lucky d-:

I also got quick cap that same game, thanks to speed boot sprint speed boot combo.

Commentaire de LSavage

This Achievement is not quite as difficult as some might think because you do not have to run the flag all the way from the enemy flag room yourself - you only need to be the one capping it. Even though it does feel better to score the Achievement by running it the whole way yourself, you could get someone else to run the flag and hand it to you right at the end.

If you are looking to do this Achievement, make sure you get the first cap without dying. After that speak to your team and let them know you want to get the Achievement. Most players are willing to help out - and it does add focus to a battleground when everyone is working towards such a goal. And remember - what goes around comes around. If someone else asks for help - help them. Sometimes people don't even realise that they could go for Ironman after getting the first cap - or are too shy to ask for help. It doesn't hurt to ask for the groups help on their behalf.

If you are a regular in the Battlegrounds you will soon notice that there are many other "regulars". Helping other people to get achievements like this one is a great way to win the respect of everyone in the PUG and to get them to help you when you need it!

Commentaire de rigel

I got this achievement on my twink hunter Rigel, in the same battleground as Quick Cap and Warsong Expedience. Needless to say the horde team was not up to the task, and the whole effort went uninterrupted. I just wanted to point out that this one can be achieved on any level. One of my pug's even helped a lvl 11 get this achievement, after it was clear, the horde were no match for us.

Commentaire de Sykini

Achieving this as a mage is difficult, especially in Wrath of the lich king. I mean, Wrath of the burst king. I've done this, and quite a few other WSG achievements on my mage and I found this suprisingly the easiest to complete.

I suggest, if you want this easy and money isn't a problem, respec to something like this:
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent=ofcbZf0ffoMhubZhhfhofzIddo

You can get all flag running/capture achievements for wsg and do some defending ones and attacking ones in Arathi Basin.

Using the spec I linked, make sure you save nova until you really need it. CoC is a awesome slower and should be used well. If you are familiar with warriors, use your 'armors' as stances. Mage armor reduces casters attacks by a significant amount and swap between Ice/Molten armor for melee or hunters depending on what you prefer.

To get to the flag go up via the tunnel and take a right to go up on the roof, from there you can see the graveyard. Once horde has spawned, count 30 seconds, if horde spawns when you hit 30 start counting again, once you hit 5 seconds into a rez, slowfall down from the roof and pick the flag (Glyph of slowfall will help save feathers). My mage is engineering, once I had the flag I used a bomb to stun for 3 seconds and ran off, CoC is a nice alternative, try to make them panic, having them use their trinkets early is awesome.

Run directly down the tunnel,

If speed proceed straight forward, don't stop until you hit home. You can get some seriously insane fast caps if you get speed at the start, followed by a blazing speed proc and a speed at the end, I once got a /w asking if I was speed hacking from a fellow team member because it was so quick.

If there was no speed, don't worry. Keep Icebarrier up and stop anyone from getting close to you.

Other than that advice, its all really self explanatory.

I wish you good luck.

I acquired this achievement recently in the levels 60 - 69 group. I wasn't twinked, merely levelling up and was totally unaware the achievement existed. As I was probably rather lucky, I would recommend you to posisbly leave a friend at the flag, so it is captured immediately then the flag can be handed over to you.

Below is an image of when I recieved this acheivement:

Have fun :)

Commentaire de Tisane

Done it for a guild member with a premade.
We had 5 people defending in the middle of the battleground and 5 people, including 1 healer, going for the flag.
The person who got the achievement was a warlock.
This was done around 2 weeks after wotlk came out, so none of us were great geared.

Commentaire de 26280

Just got this in a PUG. Everyone was farming honor, so I just capped the flags. Got this achievement without even realizing there was one for it.

Commentaire de MischievousLoki

They should rename this achievement "I have awesome healers"

Commentaire de Serai

or afk horde

getting this feat seems to depend on having either a really crappy opponent or having a few awesome pet healers on your tail

Commentaire de goreb

Spirit of the Wind and Skull of Impending Doom no longer work in wsg. The blood shard buffs are wiped as you enter the bg and the off hand item makes you drop the flag.

*edit*

On testing Skull of Impending Doom... it does make you drop it. BUT if you use it before you pick up the flag it still works. The debuff ticks do not make you drop it, only the initial use of the item.

Commentaire de 337292

easyest done if you twink for that lvl i can see a reason just twinking for this before 80 bc at 80 it is so hard everyone knows what there doing or atleast they should

Commentaire de Thrac

Done it some days ago in a pug grup,no premade, managed to take the first 2 by myself and the 3d was taken my some1,my luck was that i was Leader and asked the m8 to gif me the flag for the ach,cool felow. Trinket, and some swift potions helped 2.
For all plate clases i sugest to go in gear tank if possible.
Cheers and gl on becomeing a Ironman or Ironorc like myself :)

Commentaire de 406309

its not hard to get. if ur a rouge u can use sprint (lvl19). its also good to have a preist and a hunter with u. (priest heal) (hunter slow downs)

Commentaire de 406520

If you're specifically going for this achievement, make the investment. Wear pvp gear for stamina and resilience, and buy swiftness potions. When I was going for this as a warlock I always started out with my Voidwalker and Demon Armor instead of my usual bg setup. Always be the first one out the gate.

A good achievement to attempt at the same time is Quick Cap. But, make sure you only attempt Quick Cap if you know your team has control of the middle. Grabbing the speed boosts and running away from your team into a group of enemies outside the tunnel would be counterproductive to both achievements.

Commentaire de alexataide

Well I did this on my priest in a pug group. had to pick flag all the way the 3 times. was hard as hell. respecced holy just to pick up "Body and Soul" and placed speed increase gem and enchant. also used some swiftness potions. a lot of luck was definitely involved in it. Felt like a serious achievement by the time I got it

Commentaire de Suprem

Did it 3 hours ago in a pug group as horde priest. It was a combination of luck + gear , you just need to stay away from the main group that are fighting in the middle and tell the other players to help you if needed . Next on my list is Quick Cap :) that will be a challenge.

Commentaire de 399426

got this on my 67 rogue not twink or anything in a 9vs4 fight so not realy hard i took the first two flags and the last one i just asked : hi can i hand in flag for ironman?. So yes u can just ask a friend to bring it over.

Commentaire de 337116

I was about to get this archivement two times but in both of them after having said "please let me get the archivement by letting me capture the last flag" a mother@#$%ing night elve hunter captured the third ignoring my whispers and saying "I need it too" or just changing aspect of the pack to the cheetah and leaving me behind. They were two different noobs.

@#$% them 10000 times.

Commentaire de Ariamodasu

Think there's something wrong with this achivement right now. This is the second time I capped three times (This time I only died once in the entire match, a Warrior got me after I capped the second flag and my Treants were down) and... nada. This is really fustrating as I'm already having a death warrant being a Druid not to mention a BALANCE Druid running it but yeah.

Hope whatevers stopping it triggering gets fixed soon :/

Commentaire de 48165

Not sure why you think something needs to be fixed - the text clearly says "without dying", and you indicate that you died after the second cap.

I got this achievement yesterday with no issues, so I'm quite sure it's not broken at the moment. Based on how I got it, I would suggest the following if you want to get this achievement:

Get a decent level of PvP gear. Seriously. People going in to try this wearing just PvE gear are only losing the match for everyone as their 17k health pool will get bursted down in seconds by the first pack of opponents they meet, usually followed up by the other team capping the flag. Try to get to 600-800 resilience depending on your armor class, and a solid health pool (20k unbuffed is pretty much the minimum imho). Yes you can get lucky and get it in PvE gear, but you'll spoil the game for others while doing so and ^&*! people off. If you want to get PvP achievements, take PvP seriously. The only exception I can imagine to this is if you're a well geared tank and bring your own dedicated healer.
Be assertive. Once you get to a decent PvP gear level, any class can be a flag carrier. Being a healer helps, if you're not, make sure you bring one. But don't take the flag unless you've got enough people with you to take care of the defenders in the flag room, if any.
Get lucky. You'll have a hard time getting this achievement in a WSG that's being played defensively. The best situation is a match where most people are brainlessly fighting in the middle: go well around them, grab the flag, run back to your own flag room and hope the opponent's flag capper is less skilled/geared than you and gets killed by the people fighting in the middle.

Commentaire de 283767

I never thought I'd ever get Ironman. I tend to think that if I have the flag somethings gone wrong :)

But I was determined to try, and announced in /bg that I would really like to try for it and hopefully everyone could help. It's was actually really heartwarming to see random strangers running with me, protecting me and efficiently returning our flag.

The last flag was the most difficult, I came close to death many times but I had 2 amazing mages at my side and managed to turtle the many waves of ret paladins! So yay for random strangers! You do meet nice people in battlegrounds after all!

The moral of the story... If you don't ask you wont get :)

Commentaire de 466835

So i was reading threw some of the comments posted before me. and a lot of people are claiming that diffrent classes have harder times getting this achievment. all classes have there strengths and weaknesses its just a matter of specing right and playing to your strengths.

Here is how i got the achievment as a lvl 80 ice mage in a random pugged group.
(this method requires a little bit of luck.)

1) dont be the first person to grab the flag. they will have a def. team and as a mage you dont have much to defend with. rather run up top and wait for the flag to be returned because the first person to grab it 80% doesnt make it out of the tunnel. and if he does usualy doesnt make it half way down the feild with out considerable help.(this is where the luck comes in. sadly you are relying on your team to fail)

2) as a mage ice has alot of Def. talent that you should pick up. Permafrost increase effectiveness and duration of chill effects, frozen core reduce all magic dmg taken, ice barrier and cold as ice to reduce the CD as well as shatter ice to stop any melee fallowing you, arctic winds reduce chance to be hit by 3% chilled to the bone again reduced speed of all chilled targets, and Deep freeze to imobilize. i would also spec points into arcane shielding arcane fortitude and magic absorption.

3) how to use your spells. (no you dont need potions or fancy trinkets)
DONT WASTE YOUR BLINK. blink is a very powerful escape tool. save it for when you get rooted or stunned. blink will get you out of these. but wait what about sap or immobilized use your ice block it will break the CC and refresh the CD on Blink and with cold snap can be use more then once per run. now that we know how to escape CCs how to aviod DMG simple Keep up mana shield and ice barrier at all times. make sure to keep your gems ready and potions if nessicary if your only using mana for Def. you shouldnt run out.

4) the paths you should take. this will very greatly depending on your server and the group. but alwasy take the path least fallowed i perfer to fallow the tree line in the east side of the feild plenty of cover to prevent being easily seen and alof of objects to block line of sight. this isnt a juggernaut achivement this is a ninja achievment you have to use your head. altho ice mages are some of the hardest classes to kill being they can freeze from 40 yard with ice elemental and they can drop target with mirror images and having two bubbles your still squishy so play it safe and play smart. remember you have to carry all 3 with out dying.

i hope this helps any mage out there trying. my name is Pentsui i play on exodar server if you want to look me up. i did this in a pug group. with out having to ask other players in group to help or rely on gank tactics or over powering simply used the talents of my char and some quick thinking.
(i appologize for any typing errors. i have been up all night and its 6 am)
a link to a balanced Def. build i used for this achievment.

Commentaire de bek1

Wow, that's a great experience.

I had a good one tonight, but it was a little different. Seemed like a lot of our team was randomly fighting mid-field, so I ran straight to the flag and grabbed it. Ran into a death knight teammate on the way out that said, "give me the flag", followed by "dude", followed by, "you're going to get merked", then finally with "i've got 10k health". I just kept running... figured I would ghost wolf soon as I exited the tunnel, which I did. Thought the DK was right when they ganged up on me, but thankfully I had a great pally healer right with me. Got near home base and had a 1-on-1 fight, but took the guy out fairly easily. Next two times, I had no trouble at all. The team seemed to come together, and they ended up fighting right at the horde's graveyard, making my job easy. I had a random healer with me part of the time, but didn't need them thanks to my great team keeping the other side busy.

Right before I popped the flag down that third time, I had to ask, "what does merk mean?" The guys got a laugh from that, and someone said, "pwn, kill" and that was it. No crying, no whining, no laughing at me because I didn't know the term. Just had a great team.

Commentaire de 40691

It should be Iron Maiden if your character is female.

Commentaire de Rolyz

.This acheivement isn't really that hard. Its all about knowing ur class. I didnt even need to ask. As soon as my team saw i had 2 flag carries they just helped me on the last 1 if u know how to play ur class. I did this on my lvl 30 mage with no heals. Now i didnt used potions but they are a must if u dont no how to play ur class. GOOD LUCK!

Commentaire de D1RE

A short guide for low lvl (16-29) druids who want this achievement:

In the 10-19 bracket the only threat to you is hunters, everything else you can outrun. The trick to good flag running is avoiding attention for as long as you possibly can. You'll be the first in the base of the other team thanks to Travel Form. Put up Rejuvenation and Nature's Grasp before you go Bearform and pick up the flag. Run straight outside and do a small sidestep (this is to refresh your position to the server, allowing you use Travel Form much sooner). Run throught the graveyard while you pray the other team won't respawn on top of you. Hold to the right and use the terrain to keep out of sight, often you can get to your own half of the BG before the other team notices you and then you'll be safe, nothing can catch you outdoors.

Once you reach the next bracket things change a bit as people got mounts. If you're working on pvp achievements in general and got a bit of heirloom gear you'll probably be specced feral. In the 10-19 bracket nobody could catch you outdoors, now nobody can indoors (assuming you specced Feral Swiftness as any pvp'ing feral druid should). Now the tunnels are better options, especially when you reach your own side. I still have a higher succes ratio going through the opponents graveyard.

To lose your only true threat in this bg use shapeshifting and moonfire. Hunters will be dazed if damaged in aspect of the cheetah. If they're chasing you simple swap to normal form, moonfire and swap back. Take your time to throw up a rejuvenation too if you find the need.

Hope this will help some people getting the achievement (unless you happen to play Horde on Grim Batol - EU, if you do please disregard this).

Commentaire de 367622

Regardless of what others say, this is still a difficult achievement. Not one death for the whole bg, and all 3 flags means you more or less have to be the centre of attention for that whole match :P. Gl finding people nice enough to help you out with it. I only ever completed this once on my 79 warlock with 2 resto druids spam healing me the whole way!

Commentaire de 575599

I think this is going to be pretty ~~hard~~ impossible for me, since my battlegroup generally sucks in all the BGs, and I am still trying just to get Capture du drapeau
