How to kill the dragon

[censi]

(thanks to Jayjay for this info)

Jayjay was talking to someone on the german server.... When they tried the dragon exactly the same thing happend to them... they got it down to 0% and it just wouldnt die... Needless to say they all got wiped out..

The next time they tried it they had an additional pool of tanks that stayed back..... When the Dragon hit 0% the first pool were virtually all dead.... the 2nd pool steamed in (with a couple of loose front runners to trigger the aoe) This 2nd pool, then pulled the draon backwards out of the lair... as soon as the dragon was at the entance to the lair it died.

we may well have to try this next time.

Are you ppl still buying that "can't use magic" shit? Might be a bit easier if just planned properly instead of trying to zerg it without end song/buffs or whatever that would mean. Not up to date with the last hib dragon raid details, so don't flame me for not knowing facts

Someone on VN boards told about their raid which ended up killing hib dragon with 115 ppl, yes, they used magic including damage adds and stuff.

IMHO I think we need to pay more attention to the adds.

The last two dragon raids I have been on it looked very much to me like we were simply overpowered by the spawns at the end.

Both raids I ended up running around meleeing grapes with a bunch of healers and elphs.

I think we should concentrate more effort on making good support groups to take out these adds, include one or two people who can actually tank them.

We usualy end up getting to the lair with tanks in groups, then splitting them and ending up with the kinda pve group you would never use to fight purple adds. From where I stood it looked like every level 45 warden, tank, shade etc charged the dragon...

If we can keep the adds at bay, then im sure we can wear away that elusive last 5%.

Perhaps also res sick fighters should stick to helping with adds until rez sick wears off?

Totally agree. I was in an 8 man squad which was dealing with adds at the last raid, but we could only deal with 3-4 at a time. When the add zerg appeared we just got wiped

Yep.....we were 7ppl looking for adds....+ all rangers were shooting dragon and almost all mages were busy _watching the fight_. Tried ask other people if they wanted to make another addhandling group but nonono. Again most people underestimated the adds or rather wanted to see the dragon than work for the success of the raid. 10tanks less on dragon doesnt mean jack shit if they can keep the force from being wiped out - then you can have 10tries on it instead of 1. And believing that ungrouped mages&rangers could handle the adds even if they tried - hah.
