I assume you have tanks designated already?

I got a 52 war parked nearby

We've got a pile of tanks ready, but I'd sure like to see some people who don't raid much filling key roles. If you'd like to try tanking the icy beast, find Cloki at the event to discuss.

Have my bard parked at IGs in Perma

Loot that will drop:

Diamond
Crystalline Spear x3
Torn, Frost Covered Book

Dragon fear doesn't make you run away here, does it?

Last few times I remember mobs trying to fear me I've just stood there.

Don't have much MR items on my warrior atm. If I get time I'll try transfer a few across.

[Rararboker]

Dragon fear does make you run. Remember to switch to walk before you engage the dragon.

[Pan]

Yep...MR > everything on this one. You're a liability rather than an asset if you're running all over the lair feared (and falling, un-leved into the bear pits).

[DeadlyReza]

Has her window started? My mage is in ever frost ready to run across the icy Tundra

[Pan]

15:26 remaining as of this post.

Could it be a good idea to be encumbered as well? Like less than walking? For us casters who don't need to position?

Hadn't considered encumbered before. The worst part about being feared is being out of action. You can run back fairly quickly to get feared again. Best to stack MR so that if you do get feared, it breaks on one of the first ticks.

Positioning: all casters do need to position. Clerics need to be behind the wall to avoid the AoE - AND...because Vox is what's called a bellycaster, the nukers need to stay directly under her ovaries in order to land spells. Otherwise you'll get a resist message...or, worse, a series of them (rendering you absolutely useless for the encounter).

So..on the Vox fight, we're going to ask that EVERYONE (apart from the clerics) be under the dragon all of the time - melees, nukers, secondary healers...everyone. That way, if aggro starts bouncing some (tank feared, low HP aggro, etc.), she'll remain approximately in place. It's a hard fight to win if she's chasing people all over her lair.
