ok well that is an all or none spell, i got it at level 20 on my wizzie. it
doesn't get partially resisted. and did GZ say something about regardless
of level you have a 5% chance of landing? i dunno, he got lucky.

lot of people in my guild carry around their resist gear on them. sometimes
if we have a shot at both dragons, we'll take out the first with one type of
gear and skip the bank because we are racing to get the other dragon ahead
of someone else. no, like what you claim on your server we don't go after
dragons that someone has already started on. and we stack our groups. 2
caster groups, 2 tank groups. the bards are always with the tanks, the
caster groups don't need a bard. they hang back, run in and cast, and hang
back some more. the bard/tank/cleric groups are under the dragon the whole
fight, and need the resists more. what we are talking about here is not how
to beat a dragon. it's how to beat a dragon with the least number of
people, the least number of deaths, the least number of attempts, and the
quickest. 24 people, no lag, little to no deaths, clear from the beginning
guards to dragon's death in 60 or so minutes. or you can take twice the
number of people with no enhanced resistances, have tons of lag and
linkdeaths, have several failed attempts, possibly no successful attempts,
and take 6 hours or more on attempts and CRs. this is what happens when the
two dragons pop on our server. our guild doing one dragon, another guild
doing the second, and what happens at each. Free your mind, Harm. We can
only show you the door, you must walk through it.
