1.60 soon here and respecs off of dragon

[Audhumla]

Just a hint to anyone planning dragon raids once the patch is live...

I used to play on US/MLF and we killed the dragon 5 times the week after the patch with respec stones, with different tactics. I can't say how the dragon behaves in 1.60 since that was in 1.58. Although the times she went down the quickest was when every source of damage was allowed WITHIN MELEE RANGE. Casters cast, weapons procced etc. The key was and is (always) having few people taking aggro and rest staying behind her to not get caught in AE.

Example of dark RM damage: http://tokfort.nu/dragon_damage.jpg - much better than meleeing her for 3-7 damage (as a caster)

And... siege weapons are usable but dont do that great damage i think we got 2 hits in with the rams before she died that time.

Thoughts? Comments? Anyone planning a dragon raid?

thats a might high level purity you've got there son, but i get the feeling she might have quite a high resistance to cold type magic

Still il probably tag along on a few dragon raids, get a nice little respec stone for my Runie. Seeing as you have some experience in the matter could you help me out with somthing thats been bugging me? The patch notes say that Respec stones are flagged as non-trade items, is that true? or can you trade them. Because to be honest it seems like a fairly fucked up system i doubt even one full group could use all 50 stones before they get piss bored and quit the game

No trade will mean u wont be able to sell em to NPC's....

Stones are tradeable between players.

One of the 5 times she died half of the drops and stones went through the ground :/ (CSR got there and said: sorry nothing i can do).

Just another idea for the lotto, we used it on our 5 raids:

Raid leader announces approx 2 hours before raid on /as that he will be holding "tickets" for the raid. Everyone going to it PMs him and gets a number starting from 1 and increasing. Nobody are allowed to be anon at this stage since he does a /who to see level (if there are level restrictions on drops). He writes down the names, guild and level of players, preferrably in Excel, starting at line 1 and going down, and replies the number to the player.

After the dragon is dead (hopefully) the lotto begins with the stones.

There is 25 RA stones and 25 SKILL stones. Preferrably sit in lair since there's a /broadcast channel. Raid leader (or lotto leader) will for each stone announce what stone it is and do a /random <number or attendees> to get the winner.

<number of attendees> is taken from the excel sheet. If a player is on the raid and didnt PM the leader to get a ticket, tough luck.

After a number is drawn, the lotto leader or raid leader need to mark it as "won" in the excel sheet so noone can win twice.

After stones are gone go on with the nice extra level 51/100% qua dragon loot.

We used this system of handling respec stones lotto on our US server and it worked quite good, after the first raid everyone knew how it worked, and there was less whine than on a normal lotto. (But i can tell you... there was whine :O )

BTW.. on our first raid the dragon repopped 20 mins later, so we hit a jackpot with 100 stones..
