I have sent multitudes of players to the graveyard without succumbing to death myself<\/a>…<\/p>\n

I have been an All-Star in both Arathi Basin<\/a> and Alterac Valley<\/a>…<\/p>\n

I have repeatedly braved the field of battle with the strength and cunning of an invincible Ironman<\/a>…<\/p>\n

I have slain consecutive opponents in the battle arena – – without mercy and without defeat<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Nearly 100,000 horde foes have fallen to my arrows, bullets and big red pet…<\/p>\n

But for the life of me… I cannot disarm five f***king Seaforium Charges in one f***king SotA battle. \ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n

Apart from Stromtrooper<\/a> and Resilient Victory<\/a>, which I figure are just a matter of time since I’ve been very close with both, Steady Hands<\/a> is pretty much the only BG achievement standing between me and Battlemaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Honestly… I thought Ironman was tough, but Steady Hands is just flat-out nonsense. I’d read somewhere that it used to be you could disarm the charges from the turret platforms, which obviously was poor design on Blizz’s part. However, I wished I’d have known then what I know now. \ud83d\ude41 I could have taken the easy road…<\/p>\n

First of all… it’s extremely rare I even have an opportunity<\/em> to disarm 5 charges in a single battle.<\/p>\n

Second… you have to pretty much be johnny-on-the-spot disarming that thing -and- hope to god you have Deterrence available -or- have 2 whole seconds of uninterrupted cast time. 2 seconds seems like it’d go quick, but it’s an eternity in SotA when a wall is being assaulted and pummeled by horde players and siege vehicles.<\/p>\n

Plus… you also have to compete with 3-4 other players clicking on the same f’ing bomb.<\/p>\n

I’ve managed a few, but I’d venture to say that even on the best day… I don’t think I’ve ever pulled off more than 3 disarms in one battle.<\/p>\n

So whaddya say… those of you who’ve managed to walk away with this achievement… what sort of advice and insight do you have to share with your pal Gar..?<\/p>\n

I guess the good news is, I’ll have plenty of opportunities for attempting this, considering each new day brings a fresh series of Strand of the Ancients (aka the random BG<\/a>). Honestly, does random battleground mean nothing more than a random game of SotA..? I remember dreaming once that I actually landed in a BG other than SotA when queueing the random, but alas, it was just a dream. My imagination runs wild sometimes…<\/p>\n

Well… gotta go… if you’ll excuse me, my random BG<\/strong> queue just popped…<\/p>\n
