Enhanced Combat Tactics is an alliance quest within Exile’s Reach after completing Cooking Meat via the game World of Warcraft.

Alaria says that the quilboar kidnapped the rest of the expedition… including my son. Chances are we’ll have to brave the quilboar’s den. That’s no small feat. They are far more aggressive and intelligent than the murlocs you faced earlier. I need to make sure I’m not sending you to your death. We’re going to have one last sparring session.

Quest Objective:

Spar with Captain Garrick.

You’re close to getting into a real fight, since, y’know, the murlocs were all a bunch of wimps that needed those first aid kits, obviously. But before you can get into a real fight, the captain needs to make sure you have a high chance of survival.

After speaking with her, follow her out a little ways to the open field and use a spell on her 3 times.

You don’t have to use 3 different spells, because you might not have that many. Plus, she’s going to instruct you on what spell to use at what time.

For instance, as a priest I needed to use Shadow Word: Pain and keep using Smite until SW:P needed to be refreshed on her before falling off, and then repeat the steps once again for a third attempt. What you need to do will be based on your class.
