Dragon 'Deaded'

[vayasen]

Good work Friday night to all those that came along and made it a great hunt.

Hope not too many are upset by the loot distribution afterwards(blame krillin!!!!! ;p).

We used some new tactics on the beast...it still took a looong time to drop...I was in the 'in fight rez team' and was ported about 5 times myself.

All in all ....did the new tactics work? Well he died. Was that due to AOE luck or due to the accuracy of the (helpfull ) info we were using? Who knows....he didnt AOE to any great effect tho in what seemed to me a long fight.

Anyways...aside from some very bizzare interuptions on the chat group (lol odd eh)....and soem guy in Thridranki calling me a noob for the tactics we were about to emply as we charged (hmm ;o) it went very well......lets hope the SOB pops as a lower spawn for the next raid posse.

Grats all.

Great work Vaya

How many people did you have there with you?

 

[vayasen]

If I recall...we had around 175 non /anon in Dartmoor.

Rumour has it that the dragon spawn was a tad high (go figure ;p).


Hopefully will require less people in future.....I guess time will tell.

Still.....even with 175....he didnt drop what I would call 'fast'.

A few things of interest.

The Dragons AE Breath

Resists

I had 50% heat resist. Dragon hit me 4 times and I died once.

[21:07:38] You are hit for 843 damage.
[21:10:38] You are hit for 1237 damage.

Combat

When fighting I was strafing when /stick to keep the people surrounding Golestandt evenly spread.

When attacking Golestandt I was hitting for:

[21:05:23] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 34 (-14) damage!
[21:05:23] You critical hit for an additional 9 damage!
[21:05:23] You hit Golestandt for 8 extra damage!
[21:05:26] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 21 (-9) damage!
[21:05:26] You critical hit for an additional 9 damage!
[21:05:26] You hit Golestandt for 8 extra damage!
[21:05:30] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 29 (-13) damage!
[21:05:30] You hit Golestandt for 8 extra damage!
[21:05:34] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 29 (-12) damage!
[21:05:34] You hit Golestandt for 8 extra damage!
[21:05:41] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 24 (-10) damage!
[21:05:41] You hit Golestandt for 8 extra damage!

When a lot of albs were ported my hits reduced to:

[21:08:53] @@[Chat] Vayasen: "PORT"
[21:08:54] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 1 (-1) damage!
[21:09:02] You miss!
[21:09:06] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 13 (-6) damage!
[21:09:09] You attack Golestandt with your staff and hit for 13 (-5) damage

It would appear that the more attacking the dragon = more damage per person. Can anyone confirm this?

Mobs to-hit is based on number of attackers.

The more people you have attacking the more often you hit, and the harder you hit, up to a certain sweet spot.

Theurgist pet spam can assist with this greatly.

Grats on getting the beast down, btw. Good work vaya

Aye, if you go into sidi with 1fg, you cant cast on the mobs (resist except gtaoe) and you'll hit like a woman. If you zerg a mob with 50 odd people you can PBAOE for like ~300 damage and double at least melee damage. Earth pets are great for this kind of thing, Get a theurg to burn his power casting earth pets, then necro can do AF debuffs etc with much better chance of sticking and everyones damage goes up lots
