I've had to do it once

Purging a pbaoe saves yourself

Purging a Glare while stunned saves everyone

and it does glare at others as well as Aoln

ive been glared at whilst stunned once and if i hadnt purged and run its quite probable that we would have been wiped. So i think purges is very useful to have tbh.

wouldnt sign up if u dont have ~2 hrs for one possible failure. Usually takes around 45 mins

Names are out in first post.

If you are on the list and you find out that you cannot come, please post it here, so I can get replacements.

Aoln, check for grp 4

I had to choose from over 33 players, many fine people had to be left out. If we succeed I will feel encouraged to organize more, so I hope I can offer more possibilities later.

Meeting point is Gothwaine harbour!

Casters, especially clerics should invest into some mana potions, it can be important in the dragonlair.

arg, my boss just dumped in and said he needed me tonight.
but i can see my name aint on the list.

well the raid was unfortunately a failure.

Dragon wiped us 3 times.

Best result was hitting him down to 65%.

The biggest problem was as always: people not responding in time.
Smaller problem was, I saw people casting heal or ress out of melee range, then 5 guys died there because of a glare.

In 2 cases most of the raid was killed with PBAOE, we could not recover from losing that many people.

In one case the death was slower, all glares took 2-3 people to death, and there were too many glares to be able to ress us up.

I will keep trying though, guild needs dragonhead trophy.

Thanks for trying on this raid - a shame we did not manage it <nods>

Some odd behaviour - no glaring before nuking was an obvious difference from raids before patch.

 

[Gorse]

my sentiments exsactly sru
