Just thought Id post this to let u all know that it can be done.. maybe they way these guys did it is the way ??

Taken from: http://vnboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=43019830&replies=10

We arrive (17 to 18 FG) and Dragon is not there, so we start killing mobs arround area. It is decided to go to the back side on the hill. At the point no dragon still. We debate appealing as it had been 15 to 20 min and no Dragon. Then on the screen is said "You hear off in the distance a roor". Pop Dragon is there.

Fortunately/unfortunately there is a hib in the inner circle and agro's Dragon. Hib tries to run out, but is torched to death with AOE. Dragon comes to the gate, but DOES NOT LEAVE. He AOE's some Hibs at the bottom of the hill. You can see his range and the area the AOE affects (His AOE Area effect is not that large 16 body lengths wide dead side by side). We rezz dead and are getting ready for first attempt.

It is asked that no healing/magic be used. It is ok to use proc weapons. All Healers/rezzers are to stay on Hill side. Melee units will fight dragon. It was also asked that Rangers melee and not shoot Dragon.

Dragon is on rock in middle when the melee classes rush, and the dragon comes to them. The Dragon is just inside the gate again, but does not come out. He AOE's and melee start to go down. Hibs get the Dragon down to 25% easy, but then he AOE Paralyze and no one can move. Mean while he is AOEing his DD and killing everything in sight. The attack is called off and it is asked the rezzers get up hill ASAP, until Dragon goes back to Rock to sit on. Once the Dragon starts to go back, rezzers all start rezzing all the dead. We did loose some to auto (3 or 4), due to the number of dead and no know who would auto when. Thus finished attack # 1.

Dragon attack # 2.
After being rezzed we all buffed up and got ready to attack. This time is was use EVERYTHING you got. Magic, Crit, Perf, whatever. We got ready to "zerg" the Dragon.

I'm not sure what happened, but the Dragon agroed someone and attack us from the Gate. It AOEed a small group at the base of the hill. They all died, but then the Dragon left back to the rock in the middle. It did not come out of the circle.

The dead we rezzed and buffed up again. We got ready to "zerg" the Dragon with EVERYTHING we had again. As we rushed in, the Dragon again came to us at the Gates on the hill side. It did not come out, but we went in to get it. This time the Hibs let it all loose. We CRIT shot (Rangers), night shades Perfed (one in my group got it poisoned and doted), Elds Debuff/PBAOE, Ment's Dotted, etc. We held back NOTHING. The Dragon dropped fast to 15% or maybe 10% before it started casting AOE paralyze. Again our whole force was stuck and could not do anything. Alot of group purge and individual purge went off and everyone was back at it. The Dragon did take some people down through out the battle, but not by the 20's, but more by the 5's and 6's (Death spam). I do not know if it AOEed them or just used it's normal attacks to get them. In the end the Dragon fell for the first time on our server.

Umm everyone always presumed that anyform of majik used on it would force a wipe out.. Altho as posted the hib dragon on excal was down to practically 0 health b4 add's and the dragon got 2 much for the zerg.

Maybe a all out use everything approach would work.

I always said those "can't use spells" plans were doomed to fail and come from ppl reading too much Forgotten Realms, etc.

Next Time we do a raid I think we can drop it.....

I am pretty sure I know what to do... its just getting motivation to do the raid.....

Interesting point that this server got wiped out.... but managed to totally res and come back and kill it.... Those of you with the inclanation to hit /rel when you die after a dragon raid pay heed to this....

Perhaps killing the dragon would be gurenteed if we could just keep trying untill he died...

And next patch the ae stun will trigger an immunity timer, if i'm not mistaken.
That should ease things considerably.

If his dd is short ranged, could we not just waste him ranged with arrers, magic etc?

Anyways, always up for a dragon raid ;)

Well, somehow I am not surprised.

What a load of crap. Of course, they seem to be having problems designing many good sized PvE encounters.

I really hate it when games limit your creative ways to solve encounters. Especially when that limit is due to the incompetence and laziness of the producers.
