its a strategy based using the warrior as a human shield/tank.
i found it to be less useful than the freeze/clock/trap and kill strategy but oh well...
because its more easy to kill in the corner because of AOE Skills of sorc or Warrior.. and the thing they want to avoid the blast from those cannon its pretty hurt on hp :/ and one more thing so the AOE buff and heal can cast full to the players ^_^
I like staying to the side better, times seem to be much faster that way.

to lure the pirates.. the closer the enemies the faster the kill tho u must ready your auto pots hihi

Et tu, brute?
ok thanks a lot, glad to c so many responses!
Yet with mages with frost and time shift, corner spot is not necessary.

Well...
First u go to female pirate to wave...
Secondary... U go to the corner between the "upper" stairs and that wooden wall...
U cast time and killing mobs instantly
That trick is especially useful for us mages
Boya!

I used the corner strategy so i dont have to see teamates ugly faces,, Jk i just go with the flow and do it
Simple. You don't have to worry about cannons in the corner.
In addition, like others alluded, crowd control is easier when there are two walls instead of one.

So how come in the few mobs just before the boss, everyone runs towards the enemies?
IMO. After defeating those enemies and being cooped up in that corner for 3 minutes. I feel like a beast and wanna get outs there and clobber me some bloodhammer.

Chances are I've probably killed you.

Also when players die, it's pretty much instant back in action!
oh, thanks guys...get it now. a little tired of elite ss, hoping for another farming spot in new expansion
Just don't do it!
I have never found this a good way to farm this map. It keeps all of the gunners out of range of everyone's attacks, sitting from a distance and picking you off. All of a sorcerer's skills are going to hit the melee mob right in front of you and not touch the gunners at a distance. You need to get the gunners in the kill zone of everyone's skill attacks so you can keep them in perma-stun and kill them quick. That is why gathering the mobs at the side of the ship (where the girl is in the cut scene) is the best strategy. The corner strategy is just a good strategy to waste a lot of pots and improve your d/k ratio, lol.
I prefer on the sides too where bloodhammer pops in. Of course team needs a mage with time shift and freeze/stun(whatever don't have a mage char :-*) always saves potions unlike in the corner everyone will be spamming pots specially tanks bcoz they're being shot by gunners. But I also go with the flow haha anything goes.
The strat work well in two scenarios.
1. You have at least one Rogue with entanglement with the appropriate upgrade.
2. You have at least one sorcerer that understands how to control the crowd. You know, a lot of people dislike gale. That skill is fantastic for crowd control. Especially on a map like Southern Seas where there are walls to keep them pinned against. I love gale, fireball, timeshift. Keeping the mobs in the corner.
