Yes.

At this patch level alb dragon was doable by roughly 2 groups and buffbots. 3-4 Pallies, Mercenary/Scout dps. Anyone not holding aggro would use only bleed styles. Clerics/Friars. One theurgist -no pet spam- Out of group cabalist and necro would duel each other for infinite mana battery(Power tap cabby pet.) Everyone would RPFILTER the Glare text to something eye grabbing. Anyone glared would run from the center of layer to the nearest corner to avoid having the group nuked. On occasion Golestandt would just go crazy and aoe non stop. Never figured out the cause, just wipe, bot rez, restart. Eventually you would get a clean fight with predictable glares. We were eventually able to get this down to a 10 man, not including buff bots. With only 10 people this could take up to 3 hours. Just remember you need bleed styles. This was the most important thing for sustaining dps.

If he's around Thanks to Hue from Albion/Bedevere for teaching me this strat back in the day! Probably not the first server to use this strat, but it was still pretty epic!

Trying to drum up some documentation on this, but it's not my forte. I want to say Lancelot or MLF was the first server to successfully do this.

Have we killed the dragon lately? Just wondering when we can expect to see dragon items for sale.

I used to kill dragon with 5 theurgs 2 clerics 1 pala and 1 reaver on alb and theurgs had raging power to fill their power bar . The moment you start spaming pets from 5 theu + raging power fully used, pala keeps his taunts and reaver would start hiting levi on it like it does on a Yelow mob .. now.. dunno what classes you took to kill it ..but my point is .. get theurgs ! Hib have shrooms which is the equivalent of our theurgs and mids have nothing as Call of 1000 storms given to thane and valkyrie was later .

Unless the dragon is bugged and yes ..his breath flame should hit hard but not take more then 50% from a bufed tank with heat resists caped .

Yes.

So we ran 2 raids on alb dragon today, First was with 45 people
1st grp = 4x pala , 2x cleric , friar , sorc
2nd grp = all rezzers n sorc
3rd grp = all theurgists n sorc
rest of grps were melee and casters

On both attempts , we had people getting teleported out to 3 random locations in middle of pacs of elders. Teleports occured very often , like 1 teleport every 3 or 5 second.
( this happend on our 2 other tries earlyer this week too )
Our main tanks just gets teleported in the first minute and no way to bring them back in the fight , no matter if we cast tons of theurg pets on the drag to the get go.
So no real way to keep aggro in one place.

the HP of the drag seems right , cause we managed to get the drag down to 95% during that 15 minutes with the 45 man raid.
we managed this time not to get the entired raid wiped in the first minute by AE con breath so thats an amelioration.

We then tested with 20man raid , cause there was a theory that teleport occurs on raids with 24+ people. But same thing happend , first minute , half the raid was teleported out.

We are hopeing to see a quick fix befor we try it again tomorow.

Thankyou for your support , we are doing our best to get the realm together for the dragon , but it will get harder and harder to get the people if the mechanics are way too punishing.

Mids did it with 80 people and they don´t have theurgs or anis.

Do mids get teleported out too ?

Ofc we were portet. But we set 1fg at each Teleport zone and these groups helped out also with rezzes inside the lair when all adds were cleared at TP zones.
All i can say: Prepare your raid well. It dosnt help anyone if you have low level chars inside your raid. They make no damage, die fast and Supporter will waste power to rezz up chars which are useless anyway. When you announce your raid, say them, bring as much power pots as they can,- get ur grp leaders in TS, take a group more than less, so you have a backup.

Good luck

Yeah, pretty much if you don't have people clearing the teleport zones, it's going to be pointless. On the other hand, we have tons of necros that could help in that regard.

I also hope someone can FRAPS a successful dragon raid and post a link to the video to help people see what is needed. I know this means the dragon will be killed more often (oh noes, the horror) but it will just help the realm and the server as a whole.
