Your character vs. The Iron MaidensCalculate DPS

Official Overview (Blizzard)

The Iron Maidens continuously gain Iron Fury, progressively unlocking new abilities. Periodically, one of the Maidens moves to the Dreadnaught to bombard players with its cannon. A team of players must use loading chains to get to the deck of the boat, defeat the Deckhand stationed there, and sabotage the ammunition of the main cannon before it finishes Warming Up. When any one of the Maidens reaches 20% health, all three activate Iron Will for the remainder of the fight.

When one of the Maidens mans the Dreadnaught's main gun, a group of players must use the loading chains to travel to the Dreadnaught and defeat that Maiden's deckhand before the Maiden completes the warmup sequence of the main gun. While the gun is warming up, the main cannon will barrage the docks with bombs, which players who remain on the docks must avoid.
