I thought they had fixed that fear bug. In the last 6 or so dragon runs
none of our casters have complained about it. If they are hit by it have
them go LD using /quit and come right back. Also there is no min on dragon
breath as over the weekend we did both Nag & Vox (other guilds were sloted
to do them but they could not take em and yield them to my guild). And in
both runs I has taking as little as 1/8th a bubble from dragon breaths. My
FR/CR was 220+ in both cases.
