Decisive Action

Decisive Action is a Horde-only quest for level 32-35 in Isle of Thunder. It is step 10 of 11 in the Sunreaver Onslaught storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Isle of Thunder at 32.5, 35.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 2 achievements.

Description

Zandalari warships plunder the seas around this island. They ferry in soldiers and war beasts from Zandalar to bolster Lei Shen's army.

If we can capture the palace shipyard, the Thunder King's supply line will be cut off, and your foothold here will be secure.

I have a plan to do just that, and it won't take an entire army.

On the second stage drop bombs along the middle, taking out those Sentry Totems. That creates the easiest path. Even if you have to skirt a Sentry zone it doesn't agro you immediately so this is only a minor consideration.

On the 3rd stage I was unsure what to do. The action button did not appear, so I had no idea I had to 'sap' the targeted trolls. I learned that here, and used the Extra Action macro to make an action button.

If you don't know this one; make a macro with this command

/click ExtraActionButton1

and place the button on your action bar. When a target appears on a troll, get up close and hit the button. Retreat to Taoshi's smoke if you don't get them the first time.
