Description

Your strongest attack in mounted combat is undoubtedly the Charge. Take this lance and mount the stabled Quel'dorei Steed just outside the pavilion.

Once you're mounted, speak with Rugan Steelbelly. He's on the northern edge of the tournament grounds at the training area east of the Aspirant's Ring. Rugan will tell you how to use this powerful ability and teach you some basic stragies.

Progress

Have you mastered the use of the Charge?

Completion

With a teacher like Rugan, you'll be an expert at mounted combat in no time.

Rewards

You will receive: 3 70 and 11,050 experience (or 6 63 at level 80)

Notes

Rugan Steelbelly:

Hey there, how are ye?

Come ta learn the art o' the Charge, <class>?

Show me how to train with a Charge Target?

Use Shield-Breaker on a Charge Target.

Follow up with Charge while the target is vulnerable.

Tell me more about the Charge!

Well then! A mounted Charge is about more than just kickin' yer mount ta full speed an' hollerin' yer lungs out... though that IS the fun part, heh! But the Charge Target will teach ye the finer points.

A good Charge is all about distance and timing. Ye can't be TOO close, or ye won't get enough speed. But ye can't be too far away either or yer mount will tire! As fer timin'...

Ye'll want ta make sure the Charge Target doesn't have a layer o' Defend up before ye rush in. If it does, use yer Shield-Breaker ta make it vulnerable, and THEN : Charge in!

Same goes for the real thing: Try ta drop yer opponent defense before ye Charge!
