Mael, 50th ment.

[Python]

i'll be there with Animist

[Nejtun]

i am moving house and will miss it , take some screenies please , unless my isp can work miracles and fix me up by then

[Sturgis Podmore]

I'll be there - wouldn't miss this for all the scrolls in TOA

[Lenah]

taking into concideration the ML3 raid, and I'll be in touch with the raid leader to see how many people from ML3 is coming to dragon hunt, when its gonna end, and how much delay it would cause. I hope not much, so we can all enjoy this.

edit : checked the patch notes

This is what i found from patch notes, about how dragon has changed.

1.70

- It is no longer possible to use pets to attack targets with an engage radius when the caster is outside of the engage radius. This includes dragons, keep lords, and tower captains.

This only effects pets, so in our case mainly animists. You have to stay in engage area (wich in dragon case is your max attack range) so that your pets will be active and shooting. Leaving that area, or dying outside it, will cause pets go inactive.

1.65

- All old world dragons have become more resistant to attacks from extremely small raiding parties (less than 3 groups). This does not affect the way the dragons will fight at all, it only changes the amount of people that need to fight the dragons to kill them effectively.

Well, will be a problem if we are less than 18 (count in this the pets, as they count as attackers) ... so 3 people+15 pets => over 3fg. (guess). But I dont think we gonna go dargon raiding with 3 people, so this shouldn't be problem.

- Some dragon dropped items have had their magical bonuses slightly redistributed. The power level of these items have not changed, nor will existing items receive the redistribution. The items affected are:

Hibernia: Buckler of Crystalline Mist, the Shield of Tornadic Fury, the Protector of Weary Souls, Ram's Folly, the Ring of Tarka'oz, the Frigid Azure Crusher, the Semi-ethereal Robe, Neth

Dunno how they are changed, but it cannot be bad.

Awarkle, if you know anything else that has changed, details would be appriciated =)) It still seems, that hes just as zergable mob he used to be.

I've seen the old sod a few times, but never did get to kill him. I'll drag champ or bardy boy along, depending who is needed most.

[Ioild]

I should be able to join when the ml 3 is done

Well, that was a Sunday to remember: a complete ML3 raid followed by a massive attack on the dragon. Wow! What a day!

However, one thing that depressed me about the dragon raid was just how flipping useless a chanter was in that fight. Endow Heat - resisted; Endow Cold - resisted; Endow Matter - resisted; dd attack - resisted; pbaoe - resisted. The only thing I could use to damage the brute was stick-jockeying with my staff. I could hit for 2 damage and crit for 1 more. My underhill compatriot occasionally hit too, but s/he found it very annoying when I died just as they were about to hit and they got recalled to the great underhill puddle from which they are summoned.

I did donate something like 0.6 of a bubble of xp and I hope the dragon uses it wisely, but this is not an encounter designed for a non-ToA'd chanter. Playmate will next time just watch and video the occasion, and give massages to any weary warriors seeking to go back into the fray.

dragon isnt really designed for any caster tbh cause hes so high
Theyre better saving their mana and taking on adds
(besides shrooms ofcause )
