I don't think he is poopsocked as hard as you think.

He's not left up for days, definitely. But he does sit up for a few hours before he is downed again.

As I suggested, adding 7 days from the last sim repop +1-2 hours is a very good time to check on him. Keep adding 7 days and maybe 1-2 hours per week since the last repop/respawn and I think you're likely to find him up.

If you don't, it means he isn't killed nearly as fast/poopsocked as hard when the server comes up as you believe and come next server reset you have a decent shot at going after him immediately.

But that aside - I agree Lucan is dumb. Blame the people who sell the Lucan MQ for platinum. And blame the server for having Variance, incentivizing low number engages at 3AM to get dragons killed without having a decent number of players on.

Remove variance and a large chunk of SoulFire use is gone because people will have suitable raid attendance numbers showing up at known times to kill dragons. They will get used a bit in a Trakanon style engage but that's about it.

Tl;dr - Variance is the devil and is the cause of all soulless things. Remove it and players will rejoice.
