Just wanted to thank the guildies that showed their support for this Fridays Dragon RAID!! Yndrofian, your guide really helped us out... We had a couple minor stutter steps going through it.... but all in all we nailed this thing! Appreciate the time you put into the write-up. That said... Granted we lost a necklace that seemed to be beneficial to a wizard... Wish we had a caster that could have rolled for it!! DRAT!! We did have a nice helm go to Donnie!! Congratz man! I look forward to your support in helping your fellow guildies get their gear as well... For those that want to see this helm... here's what he got: Helm of the Mroranon - Helm, +6 Wisdom, +7 Intimidate
Thanks everyone That that was a great way to kicked off new guild membership. Although, Vark would have prefered a gigantic sword dropped, he was ready to roll.
well done guys, im quite proud! told yall you could do it! AND we got one more guildie outfitted in dragon gear!! and for what it matters sook, the necklaces that drop there arent really that good imo... blix and yndrofiun agree... theres not really any good dragon loot for casters... (at least since mod 3) you can get items that are far better in any lvl 10+ quest random loot/end reward/ah how many times did you have to rez at the dragon? and what were the 'minor stutter steps?'
Rezzed twice at dragon. Minor stutter steps were in VON 5 1st part forgot to keep one person up for both jumpers to get chest. No big deal to me. Not a stutter step but big props for Johan doing the pulling at the bases. 1st time and did it like a champ! Also, map of the puzzle was great! Well, as long as Sooke remembers to print the whole map! ROFL! Seriously, Grandar, Sooke, and I had the map and might have rivaled even one of your times, but we didn't time it this time, so no bragging rights. That's all that I can remember. Oh, might have gone in unhasted 1st time at dragon, not sure but I thought I was swinging a little slow at first. Got it right the next two times.
nice, well done, again guys... 2 things. 1. the jumpers... ill edit my von5 checklist to be very specific in that area (granted it may not help you remember, but it does take a bit of thinking on how many and who to go where to make that part efficient) 2. the dragon dispells you when you run toward her syr, your haste was prolly removed since its typically the last buff you get, its the first one that gets dispelled
Yeah, you're probably right. The 2nd and 3rd time I drank a couple of potions after the haste to take the dispel breath hit.
nice! good idea too!! i normally use stupid clickies w/kurlack but you cant use clickies when yer ragin and by the time i get the haste im ragin so yeah.. potions... good idea!!!
One other note... We sent a "Rogue" i.e. Johan to clear the bases in Von 6... Due to his high reflex. If not for the fact that some of the aggro got stuck on his first go around he would have had it in one pass one rez... 1) High Reflex seems to be better than AC for that task based on what I observed this go around. 2) He was only level 10... and did it like a champ even though it was his first time. 3) I would have loved to see the look on his face when we told him, "Ok, if you do this right... HERE is where you should die." hehe He was like, "Oh great...." ROFL.
So now everybody's got a use for those mage armor and protection from evil pots! =) Oh, BTW, no mephit spawn when we were doing the towers. Johan was nice enough to bring a few back to us after his first run but I'm sure it wasn't intentional.....=P
saves only matter if you fart around when pulling if you pull correctly, saves (ive noticed), not make much of a difference the ac/hit points thing comes into play where you die... the longer you stay alive down there the more clustered the mobs get at the very back of home plate... and thats where you want them... otherwise they can aggro on the ramp up and come rushing the rest of the waiting party... and then they ahve to be killed and pulled again
Yeah... I can see where you are coming from. When he got to his death spot... he didn't last at all... Had he had more AC...and HP... it would have been ideal for that spot... I understand the importance of ensuring the aggro stays put.
Really loving the new helmet, thanks to you guys. I'll definately be back time and time again until everyone who needs dragon loot gets it. I also want to learn more and more about this encounter in hopes that we can eventually take her down on Elite (at least for favor.)
