It would be a great christmas present for us all if we where able to kill the dragon! I would love to do it on the raid! If you are coming I would ask 2 things of you. Read this strategy 1-2 times, and print the maps. ( If you dont have a printer then draw them. Its quite easy to draw the outline. )
Cant tell you here when the raid is on for. Check with your GL or ask an officer of your guild to ask anyone in Legends of Camelot.
Here is the strategy for the dragon raid. The full strategy guide can be read here. There I also link to the sites I read about the successful dragon raids i was inspired by. It will change a little during the next week but this is how we are going to take the beast down:
Who can come?
Id love to take everybody! And I can certainly not stop anyone from tagging along. But to be able to help on the raid I think you need to be 40+ for wardens/druids/bards and 45+ for all others. Lower than that and you will have very difficult to help us. You have a week to gain a lvl or 2 if thats what you need
See you on the raid.
Main rules
We are following three main rules on this raid.
The groups
To bring the beast down we will be divided into 4 different groups with different goals on the raid. Each group will have their own CG and the CG leaders ( top 2 ) will be in the Raid Leader group.
The Strategy
Dividing up the loot
All loot should be handed to the Loot man. ( appointed on raid, trusted person not in Legends of Camelot ). After the raid we all meet up in mBeo and lotto all items. Not only dragon unique items but all that is picked up.
We do the lotto like this:
For each type of item ( i.e spears, leather armor, mage staff etc ) the Loot man calls on /br - anyone interested in staffs?
The first one responding will get all the staffs. Then you PM that person for staff CG. In that CG the Loot holder first lists all items and stats, then you start to lotto. Use the /random X to get a random nr between 1 and X
EZ drops are for everyone 40+ to lotto for, Dragon specific loot is for lvl 50s.
I wont claim any item for myself, everything is on lotto. Although if you want to thank me for doing the raid you could enter lotto for dragon spear and give it to me if you win

See you on the raid. Main rules
We are following three main rules on this raid.
- Never ever pull aggro from the dragon if he cant reach you. If you do you'll trigger the AoE.
- Kill adds first! The adds must!be our first priority. If you see a glimmer you turn to kill it.
- Ressing is a huge aggro builder. Ressers should work from as far away as they possibly can. People in melee range of the dragon should be disbanded.
- Be silent and listen. Dont spam the Raid Leader with tells. Listen to the strategy in Innis, ask questions briefly and to the point in your chat-group
The groups
To bring the beast down we will be divided into 4 different groups with different goals on the raid. Each group will have their own CG and the CG leaders ( top 2 ) will be in the Raid Leader group.
- Add Control Groups ( AC groups ) - This will be six strong PBAE groups of lvl 50 Chars. These will protect the ressurection and ranger teams.
- Ranger Groups ( Rng Groups ) - These will be the guys that really damage the dragon. Hes vulnerable to arrows ( except slash dmg type ). Spread out around the dragon they fire away, all with dmg add.
- Ressurection Groups - This is the team that gives us stamina. Working as far away from the dragon as possible they ressurect any person that goes down and rebuff him. Ressurect supportclasses first. Everyone that can ress goes into this group ( sorry wardens, no tanking for you this time )
- Dragon Fight Groups - Here we have our brave heros ( aka cannon fodder ). They will aggro the dragon and keep him aggro with melee/nukes from melee range. This so he won't throw spells on the rangers/ressers. Their job will be to keep the dragon away from its mound. All people in DF groups will disband and go solo against the dragon. If grouped the ressers will pull aggro when they ressurect players.
The Strategy
- Meet in Innis
- Construct groups - This is always a boring process and will inevitably take some time. I have done my best to plan it so well do it as fast as possible. Ill also entertain you ( oh yeah! ) with retelling the strategy over and over . Please stay alert until you are grouped and things will go smoother.
- Construct chat groups - We use chat groups for communicating as soon as we leave Innis. The groupleaders will be invited to the raid chat group and will relay the information to the groups. If you want to ask anything, ask your group-leader.
- Inform everyone about the strategy - Will tell you in Innis. CG leader will tell you on the way to the lair.
- Moving to the Dragons lair - We will move in three waves. We wont wait very long for LDs.
- Kill off adds near campsite - Kill all the adds outside the lair. We will spread out with the three forces spread out around the three openings.
- Buff up and cast damage add - Damage add on all rangers/tanks/NS, MR on all ressers / mages. Jump up and down if you lack a buff.
- Pull dragon - We will send one ranger to pull the dragon of his mound. Raids in US have shown that the dragon will cast far less AoE spells if hes not on his mound. Well ress him and send him in until he wont get AoE on him.
- Move all groups into place - when the RL gives the signal. See map on the link. Rush in to take your place. Force 1 will move first ( as we want to keep the dragon of his mound )
- Dragon Fight groups start fighting the dragon as soon as they are in melee range. Always use /stick. Be sure to be under his belly if you are going to cast spells. Debuff him as much as you can, sometimes they land and they do help. Use bleeding styles if you can as these are very helpful. GTAoE always hits ( dont know if we have this yet though ).
Remember to keep the dragon from the mound. If you face his mound back away slowly when you have his attention. If you have the mound behind you just move towards the dragon when he aggros you.
Remember the adds. If you see them close by do attack them. Never cast spells that can hurt the dragon from a distance ( such as AoE on a glimmer add )
Never hurt the dragon from a distance! - Ress groups ress from a distance - Ress groups focus on ressing. Ress druid/wardens/bards when you can. If you see glimmers you cast root on them until the AC groups can take em down.
- Ranger groups pluck away from a distance when several tanks have been killed. Use slash/thrust arrows as he resists crush. Make sure to be buffed with dmg add.
- Add control groups kill off adds - Will have a lot to do. Fight of all pops. Keep close to your assigned position. Pull adds away from the dragon and PBAE them to death.
- When dragon is at 25% HP : He will now start to cast stun and teleport. To lessen the effect of this we move everyone with a bow away from the dragon. If you have a bow you back off and leave the heroic Champs / NS to battle the dragon. This way we will get far less people stunned. Spread out and fight him.
If you are teleported tell your GL, disband, team up with others that are teleported, rest up and head back together. You wont make it on y our own. You will either be teleported straight North, or straight West. Its not very far to the dragon. Head East or South. - When Dragon hp is at 10% At this point he will start calling for help. He will send a courier that brings an army of UBER glimmers. Find and kill that courier! All but Champs + NS turn to fight adds if they come in force.
- When the dragon is killed : Group leaders run and grab loot.
- If the dragon refuse to die : If he gets stuck on 0% HP we start pulling him away from the mound and out of the lair. As a last resort we retreat and go again.
