Yea if they patch manadrain to work. Currently it doesn't.

I'd rather they did patch every boss to be rooted, not just TOV but Kael, Thurgadin too. It's so lame fighting raid targets at a zone line staring at a wall.

Rooting the dragons wouldn't be as bad as people say. You would COTH up to a target. Yea there would be some trash clearing but nothing like a full crawl would be.

The issues then are
A) The dragons that CH such as Gozzrem, Jorlleag would be unkillable
B) Dragons with really strong non-classic AOE potentially not having a spot to avoid that AOE damage within heal range, potentially unkillable
Summon at 100% HP is better than rooting them, because you could still position them, still push them to interrupt CH, but pulling them to zoneline would be borderline impossible.

Just imagine for a second 5 mages in the group constantly summoning the puller to get the dragon to zone...

I'm imagining it, but he'd still die instantly on a summon.

Not every mob in ToV was rooted on live, and not every mob was given Call of the Zero. It's not like they decided to just root every single mob one day and made half of them unkillable.

Aside from people not liking the "competition" being removed, this solution is just... lazy? I was always a fan of banning all this toxicity (face it, competition here is fake, people are bad sports, rude, and only want to see each other burn through lawyerquest) and if players leave, oh well... but obliterating AM with such a drastic rule change is insane. Even only spending a few minutes thinking about adding a rotation, you can rotate ToV and just cut it into sections that are assigned to each guild and forbid people from training each other. With no rush to kill mobs, even people doing zoneline pulls can just do it whenever another guild isn't in the way (which would only be a problem if someone is crawling at 4way/Aary).

> Wing 1 - Doze+West
> Wing 2 - Iki/Aary/Fesh/Dag/Krei
> Wing 3 - Vyemm/Koi/Lady M/Vulak
> Wing 4 - Trips+Twins

Now four guilds get mobs a week. You'd need to set up a tracker so quakes aren't a cluster, but that's already the case anyways. You can also just give mobs to guilds that can handle them without an all-or-nothing ToV solution, because why shouldn't you be able to go for Telk just because you can't do Lady M?

Point is, there's tons of ways to handle this that don't involve locking most of the server out of ToV for 2 months at a time. Enforcing rotations on only select mobs - and adding in guilds that don't kill said mobs in the first place - just seems like it wasn't thought out much and is going to have other repercussions on things outside of ToV as all the people on this selfish server scramble for pixels week after week.

Alternatively, just implement it and let the world crumble. This ain't a paid service. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there a way to make it so that when a dragon leaves the North Wing they do Vulak's call for help? That would be pretty cool.
