At this point in time, the in-game achievement tracker shows that the number of dwarves needed for the achievement is 100. However, the achievement text states that the player needs to kill 200 dwarves.

The Normal mode achievement that corresponds with this Heroic achievement shows "100" both on the tracker and in the description.

I would imagine that this achievement is supposed to require 200 kills within 10 seconds because of the greater number of vehicles in the Heroic encounter. The "100" is likely an error.

Confirmed that u need to kill only 100 defenders in heroic mode...

Comment by Moleculor

You do NOT get saved to this, or the regular mode instance, as long as you only kill the iron dwarves (of various sizes). No guarantees or promises if you accidentally knock down a tower or two, so don't.

After reading the comments here, I went to try it out. Did it with just me and a friend using a siege engine. Took just a few minutes to clear out the bigger mobs around the first set of towers. Then I moved the vehicle right behind the middle tower in the first row and let the dwarfs come at me from all five towers. Waited until I thought I had enough and used steam rush while my gunner fired. Got the achievement! Simple as that. We both then went and did the heroic variant of it just as easily. Btw, the achievement text on the heroic version is incorrect. It says you must destroy 200 within 10 secs, but if you track the achievement, it only counts 100. I thought maybe it was wrong, but upon trying it out, it is indeed only 100 to get the heroic achievement as well.

Two achievements in about six or seven minutes. Fun times. =)

just 2-manned both hc and normal version of it.
tacts are:1 of 2 mount SE(siege engine)and bring it at the edge of where u start.then the other jumps on,takes gun and other leaves vecicle.then other grabs choppa and aggroe's all big bad guys and runs at the guy with the SE.you kill them and then change vecicle for ful hp and charge at mobs.DO NOT USE ANY ABILITIES.just run.i propose going for left to right.pull all mobs from 1rst 3 towers and the rank mobs from behind them.they should be enough.the hp of the SE is just too big for you to die while you do that(although being carefull never killed anyone,quite the opposite really).after you have gathered enough just hit 1-2 cannonballes and gz.

My experiences with this achievement, specific to this version (25man):

Dwarves have about 31k HP (12k on 10man)
Attacks hit for about 900-1.1k (200-400 on 10man)
Letting the first 3 towers spawn caps out around 40-50 (maybe a limit of 20 per tower?)
Mobbing up 100 with a siege engine is incredibly difficult because of all the incoming damage - even with 2.8m HP I ended up not being able to round up 100 before the vehicle asploded
Switching vehicles (or switching positions in a vehicle) with dwarves aggroed onto you will cause the dwarves to stop chasing you and evade/despawn a few seconds later
Vehicle abilities become significantly weaker against large groups (somewhere around 100 targets) - 30-40k from a ram attack is enough to dispatch a dwarf, but if you're hitting enough targets to get this achievement that damage will be more in the range of ~5k instead.

Of all of the above, I think the last two are most relevant to a solo attempt - you're not able to switch vehicles after you've got dwarves chasing you or you lose your stack, and damage is reduced by a large amount so it'll take a while to wear down the dwarves enough to kill them. I dunno if anything's changed in this place between the other comments from 3.1 and now, but I definitely don't see this being done in a chopper because of how the damage reduction takes place. But on the same token, a siege engine moves far too slowly to mob 100 safely, unless you've got someone manning the cannon to take them out afterward (because switching to the cannon yourself will cause the dwarves to respawn). 10 man version of this achievement is an easy solo, but if you're attempting the 25man save yourself the headache and bring along a friend or two to get it done. Good luck!

P.S. If I'm making this sound harder than it actually is, someone feel free to correct me. :D

Duo'd. Similar to the video above (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJJlbU381aI), except we had a Demo. Bike went down first, aggro'd as in the video. Demo went down 10 seconds later, and when the dwarves were nice and stacked (using tar) they got blown up using pyrite and the bike's siren.

Oh, and swapping seats does not drop aggro.

Don't go and try to duo Unbroken, though. It won't work :P

Soloable. Equip your highest ilvl items and jump in a Demolisher. Kill the first colossus and the sentries, then just start kiting dwarves around the first couple of pillars until you have so many that your framerate suffers. Turn around, toss some Pyrite into them, and boom!

Comment by LoreMooster

Did the method PilsnerDk described above. Did it on 25 player.. then exited.. switched to 10.. and did that. Two quick acheivements.

Comment by jprich

Very soloable at 85.
With an ilevel of 389 my siege tank had 7.5M health.
Had no problems with the colossus ( other than taking forever to kill him ) or rounding up the dwarves and killing them.

Comment by Mercuryanka

Have done that as a hunter in MoP. Took the bike and pulled dwarves between the 1st and the 2d lines of pillars with big dudes. Just ran in circles between them to group adds up, then spammed my damaging spell = profit :)

Comment by Ice83085

As of patch 5.3 im starting to believe its bugged. The tracker show no kills or time countdown. Ive tried multiple times to get using demo, chopper and tank. Downed over 100 each time in less then 10 secs and haven't received the achievement.

Comment by Alfa

Activate nameplates by pressing V - if you haven't keybound that to something else.

Then macro this:

/run local count = 0 for i = 0, 10000, 1 do if _G ~= nil and _G:IsVisible() then count = count + 1 end end print(count)

It will tell you how many enemies, in this case, dwarves, are on your screen, helps with guessing.

Comment by CataBreed

Works fine in 7.1. Good luck everyone.

Comment by courf

This is a super quick achievement to get at max level. No macros necessary anymore. Don't bother getting in any vehicles. Just round up the guys standing around/coming out of the first three towers, wait for each tower's output to cap off, and AOE. As a druid, I did my running around in bear form to increase threat generation, but I doubt that really mattered. The whole thing takes maybe five minutes, tops! :)

Comment by electronbluetwo

Park yourself at a tower and count them as they spawn. Riding around doesn't keep them aggro'd.
