High Commander Halford Wyrmbane (tactics)

High Commander Halford Wyrmbane is the highest ranking member of the 7th Legion and defended the town of Wintergarde Keep in Dragonblight from the Scourge. He now leads the Alliance in the Isle of Conquest and is accompanied by four 7th Legion Infantry. Defeating him is the primary objective for the Horde.
Gaining access to the High Commander requires destroying at least one Alliance Keep gate, serving as a literal "hard gate" mechanic. This is different from the "soft gate" mechanics of Alterac Valley where the Generals can be accessed immediately, but are substantially harder to kill depending on how many of their four towers are still standing.
The High Commander's enemy in this battleground is , found within the opposing keep.

==Strategy==
*The General is simple enough to tank, even by a DPS off-tank. However, he has a large health pool that can turn the latter stages of the battleground into a DPS race.
*DO NOT pull the General outside of the command room. He won't reset...he'll just get angry.
*Attempt to avoid or reduce the impact of his Crushing Leap.
**The damage can be avoided by breaking Line of Sight (LoS) with him or by jumping right before the impact (this can be difficult to perform successfully with lag).
**The damage can be reduced by running away from him during the cast time (damage reduced by distance) or by using defensive cooldowns.
==Trivia==
*He sports the Tabard of Conquest.
