At one point on blue you had to FTE and pull in a dragon as soon as it spawned, Dragon gets to camp 1-2min later as you are still batphoning, making a cleric chain, and tank list hah. That has caused a few low number kills on random dragons on blue.

This was the fun shit.

Lol a velious geared monk with a soulfire/reaper (thats 6 complete heals) and mend in addition to prob been 5k raid buffed and been able to resist 95% of his aes in addition to wot pots.

So lets analysis:

Intial hp + 6x (lets say he ched at 500hp) heals thats 6x4500hp+ initial 4500hp = 31500hp, then add in mend and natrual regen over the fight (say 2500).

So he had almost just as much health has Ragefire, high avoidance and mitigation on a monk, and high dps, in addition to avoiding thru great resists one of ragefires dmg aoes.

You people thing EQ is hard? Its just what resources you have access to or willing to get.

If you remember shamans and necros started to solo Zlandicar 1-2 xpacs after velly era.

Dont get me wrong its a great feat but once you take a closer look at it it not as special as some of you make it out to be.

Paladins were easily soloing Gorenaire during Planes of Power. Fearless made kunark dragons way too easy

Blue v Red PvE comparisons cant really be placed on the same table either.

Soulfires, reapers etc trivials content PVE wise... if everyone is their own 5 charge CH cleric (thats dps who are hurting in fights dont need clerics to heal em coz opps darn CH sword clicked).

Opps darn cleric is late in the ch chain, click soulfire...that blimp is solved.

I play maybe 2-3 hours a day some days and see atleast 2+ soulfire completed msgs in that time.

Soulfires are OP.

Blue should always carve up red99 regarding lower #s on mobs.

Not gonna lie, that's an A+ post <3

In theory yes, but in practice no one wants to wipe on a dragon that they just spent 0-16 hours poopsocking, so everyone zergs hard most of the time.

I think most of the NTOV dragons that don't gate are doable with 10. Get them slowed and then DS them down. Something like Bard + Shaman + Enchanter + Warrior + Magician + 5 clerics + pull team. It would take an hour, so I'm not saying it would be fun but the reality is that Velious raid content just isn't that hard.

Assuming that you have enough time to disarm and weaponize the dwarves, then charm and haste/sow them, I would imagine something like this yes.

You're welcome; I'm just an ass about credit for ideas. It comes with the PhD. If I am lucky I can have my pals in the cLaws of Veeshan ((c) Naxi) obtain a patent on this idea from Sirken.

[Joyelle]

And you said we never tried your ideas, Raev!

why would you charming dwarves who already fight for you help achiever lower numbers?

I think lower numbers are tricky, we really struggle if we only have mid 30ies with under 10 rogues, its very easy to 'fall behind' if some of the waves spawn far away from you causing constant running back and forth.

I think maybe you could do it with 25, but everyone needs to be self sufficient IE tanks willing to constantly disc and use wort pots/reapers...healers having some kind of mana group pumping them and of course no wasted raid roster spaces at all, everything is either tank healer or DPS.

Red should be able to beat every encounter with the lowest numbers since there isn't 300 people across 4 guilds trying to kill the same dragon at once.

Red Server still has yet to kill tunare
