Which does absolutely nothing, as pillage enchantment strips buffs
seemingly randomly. My first buff was Illusion: DE yet he stripped
my Agility and Strength in the first attack (which both were in the
middle of my buff list).

Our L22 song is the same way. It took me 4 pulses to remove resist
fire from myself, and Reso/SoW took 2 or 3. Things that stripped
first: Shaman buffs. Things that went last: Resist buffs.

In the wave against Nagafen, I had 170 FR. And again, I lost
a full bubble of health, confirmed this time with 2100+ hps.

DragonBreath does one bubble of damage if you are in melee range
as a minimum (with 2000 hps). The key here is in melee range, as
our cleric was hit with AE far back, and took much much less dmg.
Magic resist in the 200s, and I still got feared once briefly.

The new AE Fear also bugs casters as once they are hit, there is
a chance they will not be able to cast spells. (You have not
recovered... permanently) With our casters in this state, it
was pure melee that brought the dragon to the 'Lord' in Lord
Nagafen. But it was without healing and nuking, umm hehe there's only
so much the melee peeps can do. Too bad the programmers at Verant
cannot get their stuff straight. It's a shame the players have
to pay for their constant mistakes.

Harmonic.
