This is the startup invasion that you get at 91 or 92 when levelling. If you do not do this invasion before 100, it might be mistaken for an actual garrison invasion. So far, the only thing that tells this and Shadowmoon Invasion! apart is the quest ID and specific npc ID (which is hard to check ingame), and that this quest also gives gold.

My strategy won't be for everyone but maybe one or two points might apply to your class. Here's what I've learned after running this scenario on (10) toons...

- Aggro as much as you can handle in the first wave to save your NPCs wear-n-tear (you need them looking good later).

- This a good time to burn a health pot, the cool-down should be up by the next wave.

- Try to save hard-hitting skills for the alert mobs that pop up (a spy, dragon, spellcaster, etc) They're much more resilient. There's a target over their heads...hunt them down

- The second wave is called Endure the Assault or something like that. Tanks may be the only class that can try aggroing the whole lot of them. I tried to get as many on my toons and always had to back off, singling out the ones that were climbing all over me.

- It gets ugly late in this phase; your dead npcs rise up against you, pesky low health mobs are everywhere and there is mayhem. My method was AOE a couple concentrated places, aggro one or two from long range and single out near deaths up close. I always stayed near the court and had to use a health pot at least once.

- The Primordial Horror is the boss in the final wave. He's not nearly as tough as the previous wave. In most cases, I had to blow most of my cool-downs before him. What I did save for him was my Call To Arms buff/spell. He dropped fairly quick.

My lowest toon was item lvl 500 destructo warlock lvl91 and he survived okay. As someone above stated, the reward was yawn but the fight was exciting; it felt like a mini-raid.

Please add your strategy comments or point out whatever I may have missed or got wrong and I'll try to edit it with Kudos.

Description

Your arrival couldn't be more timely, commander. Shadowmoon raiders have been spotted closing in on the garrison. You repelled their advances at Teluuna Observatory, and created chaos at Shaz'gul. Now, they surely seek retribution. They will throw everything they have at us. I have the entire garrison on high alert. Are you ready to face them?
