Is the Midgard dragon easier than the other realm's dragons? I've only ever done Albion's dragon like once a week with 60+ people. Seems crazy seeing now Midgard's is done each day (or multiple times a day) with a third of the people I've ever done it with before. :D

Sorry, don't mean to derail your thread. Just wondering a quick question.

You can easily do the Alb dragon with same number of people. Smokeys leads dragon raids with 14-17 people as far as I know. The "zerg" Alb dragon raid is "official" raid twice a week or so :). A friend once showed me a video of his old guild on live(classic) doing the dragon with 1fg :).

A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs. Bloodshed and violence and savagery were the natural elements of the life Conan knew; he could not, and would never, understand the little things that are so dear to civilized men and women."

Every dragon can be killed with 10+ ppl. Even with 7-8 if they are good :)
Albs have open raids too for everyone, mids havent. Thats all :P

If you play in Albion be happy since you can join even with L40+ Char. As i know they kill dragon in lesser as 10 minutes, so you spend just 15 min for grp+killing dragon if you are already at lair ^^^In a private raid you must belong to 'elite' with a good knowledge of DRs and mostly a L50 Char or you will have no chance to be invited ;) And its take much longer... Im mid about 1h+ to build grps, move to DragonLair and kill him (35-45 Min for killing).

So open raids give you a good chance to get in and maybe much lesser time... but lesser chance to get something good :D
Private raids need more time and you must be good+have enought DR expirience... but you get ALWAYS something and can get even a XXp worth item at your first raid (!) :D

As i know some years ago all 3 realms had open raids. But mids stopped it 3.5+ years ago. Albs and Hibs(?) still have it.
A combination of both is a good way for the realm, but not many leaders wanna do it cause private raids are more profitable :D

Lol, why shoild i? :D
Dont think it will have a efford in Midgard+its too much work :D
Even as i have maked 1-2 Ally raids few years ago L45+ for every ally member it was nearly no response.
Maybe i will do it one or two times just for fun :D But think most of expirienced DR-Members will dont join it. No point, they have enought items/money from private raids ;)

Hey Raggnar, I'm an upcoming hunter. Once i'm at the appropriate level, would you accept hunters into such events?

Most probably not, sorry. This is somewhat of a private raid, and the missing slots are filled up with randoms I spam for. I can always use a shaman, healer, skald or zerk, but no rogue classes. Hunters do good dmg on dragon, but if I have a hunter in group, I don't have protect on a healer, because warriors protect DPS classes, so I need DPS to protect healers. And raids went to ****** a lot of times when healers were not protected xD. People qq on me cause I invite only certain people and classes, but I've lead over 200 dragon raids and it gets very frustrating, I need to closely watch even regulars because they tend to slack as well. So hmmm, I like to keep it effective and I want to focus on the raid, not on typing to people all the time. I've lead too many raids and got burned out on it, sorry. I like to keep it as small as possible and effective. I guess you knew that your class is not raid friendly when you rolled it. If I am desperately missing last DPS, I could take a hunter instead of waiting for an hour for a zerk to show up, but that's it :).

pls keep in mind raggnar that every blow class has 100% to hit a mob with it, no matter what. with my ranger i took often the aggro of the dragon from far distance. so i in this raid i made more damage without taunt than all those melee's ^^

Yeah, I know :). We tried with hunter, that's precisely why I don't want one + the fact that rogues can't protect healers. Overall, even that damage output speeds up the raid for maybe 2 mins(at best), being it a small raid heh :).

Search better Raid leaders because if this is true these elitists are kinda unskilled in building grps + raiding the drake 8)

Takes about 25 mins to kill the dragon with 14 people, 30 tops(depending on number of stuns). As for group building, sometimes it takes 1 hour, sometimes 10 mins. There's no "elitists", just regulars. Also, as it has been stated, Midgard has no massive pet spam. We can't land a single spell on dragon unless 17 attackers are hitting him, so go figure.
