These are one of the adds in the new gunship battle in Dragonsoul that must be killed before they run into the ship and explode. They are summoned every 40 seconds on normal mode. They can be slowed and deathgripped and stunned.

The most annoying part of these mobs is they drop into a smoke bomb as they arrive in the fight, so they become untargettable for a crucial second or so when they start running. Consequently, dps should have a macro for easily targeting them:

/tar Twilight Sapper

The sappers are not tanked, but tanks may be asked to help deal with them (especially in 10 man). Here's a useful macro for dealing with these sappers as a Deathknight tank:

#showtooltip Death Grip
/cleartarget
/tar Twilight Sapper
/focus
/targetlasttarget
/cast Death Grip
/cast Chains of Ice

Hit the button AFTER they've dropped to the deck and you see them run out of their smoke bomb and head up the ship. It will DG them to you and apply chains of ice, without disturbing your target for the adds you're tanking.

Used it last night. It places triangle on a Sapper if it exists. /rw is optional.

/cleartarget
/tar Twilight Sapper
/focus
/targetlasttarget()
/run if GetRaidTargetIndex("focus") ~= 4 then SetRaidTarget("focus",4) end
/clearfocus
/rw SAPPER

Looks like Elemental Shaman's Thunderstorm doesn't actually knock them back.

Hunter tips:- Spider/Crab roots do not work on these, however Bat/Wasp stuns do.

The DK macro a few posts back doesn't seem to be working as intended, if I understood the post correctly.. What it was going for was a way to target the sapper, DG / CoI him and then switch back to the previous target? But that didn't seem to be the case as I was testing it.

What it does is target the sapper, focus him and then apply Death Grip and Chains of Ice but it doesn't go back to the target you were tanking (seeing as the previous target for /targetlasttarget is, in fact, the sapper).. I played around with it, and came up with the following:

#showtooltip Death Grip
/focus
/cleartarget
/tar Twilight Sapper
/cast Death Grip
/cast Chains of Ice
/tar focus
/clearfocus

This focusses your current target, targets the sapper and applies Death Grip + Chains of Ice before puttting the target back on the previous target (that you were tanking) and clears the focus.

Mage tips for sappers:
+ Cone of Cold does work on them and it's pretty effective.
+ Blast Wave My personal favorite, pretty effective. (Fire Only)
+ Slow works (Arcane Only)
- Frost Nova doesn't work.
- Dragon's Breath doesn't work.

/ Ring of Frost not sure but I don't think it'll work.

From my experience and what I've been reviewing, these guys don't have a "stealth" persay, they just disappear into the smokebomb and then reappear no matter how much you AoE where they are.
However being able to fan of knives with crip on, can slow as soon as they come out, like earthbind totem.
What else have people encountered with these pests?

Warlocks, Glyphed Shadowflame works well to slow them. They're immune to Fear/Howl though. I'm Demo right now so I can't try Curse of Exhaustion.

My contribution to the macros for DK's tanking this fight. I put in a conditional /stopmacro so you don't spam the raid warning. If you use this macro when there is no Sapper to target, then nothing should happen except clearing your focus. When using this macro, remember that Death Grip is off GCD but Chains of Ice requires a GCD.

The last 3 lines are optional to mark the Sapper, warn the raid and put focus back on the other tank for phase 2. Obviously, if you use the last line, it would need to be edited whenever your tanking partner changes.

/cleartarget
/tar Twilight Sapper
/focus
/targetlasttarget
/stopmacro
/cast Death Grip
/cast Chains of Ice
/script SetRaidTarget("focus",4)
/rw {rt4} Sapper {rt4}
/focus <Off-Tank-Name>

/target Twilight Sapper
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 8);
/RW Applied {Skull} on %n Nuke it!

Any guidance for a rogue on how to deal with these guys? Macros, tips, what skills to use and whatnot would be greatly appreciated.
