we cant field 2x12 mans yet with balanced classes, so its either only a 12 man leaving people behind to their own fate, or trying to pug it, wich i dont like much or doing 24 even with unbalanced classes, i've been choosing taking who ever is online and wants to join atm , but im not in a hurry, first is taken 10th is also, and im not scared of being last

Rangers of the Northern Spirit killed him T2 HM today. Enjoyed it, but it doesn't really seem worth doing on T2 once you've completed the deed for it. 1 Helm, 1 Shoulder, 3 Scales, 3 Jewelry items, 2 Symbols.

Bad screenshot, but its a screenshot of the fraps I made of the fight.

Gratz guys, updated to here

Hola everybody, Midnight Star did Draigoh yesterday evening in a kin raid on T2 Challenge in 10 people (not enough active palyers atm) True is we spend maybe 15 hours "training and wiping" in last days. And reward is huge - see last screenshot.

Great work guys! Shows true stamina!

When will the first 6-man happen?

Thx Oily. I dont think it can be done 6 manned. Two people must be on the head and 4 is not enough down there. Damage would be huge. But perhaps it can be done. With champs who have enough morale/armor. But it would be loooong fight without CJs.

For Tier 2 Challenge you would need at least 8 people - 2 for tanking group and 6 in the same fellowship for the CJ's. Unless you actually bring him to the 3rd phase with 6 peeps and then do all 12 CJ's, but I don't know if there will be enough morale for all 12 of them.

There is plenty of time for the 2 people on top to jump down, participate in 2 CJs and get back up top before the cave-in starts during the drop-down phases (the ramp near the chest takes you exactly where you need to be).

It's been 6 manned on other servers and I don't see that it'd be particularly hard really, just time consuming. I guess the only thing that really changes is that you have half the number of people to take the distributed.

I was thinking about exact same thing Tarenius, but I was not sure if you can jump directly from ledge where you tanking the head without killing yourself. If you can, than it is possible. After 2nd CJ there is enough time to run back up.

Hey there, Alandica Mellons killed the dragon for the second time t2 HM, here is some pics

gratz to all that have killed him

Fellowship of Guardians down him T2 Challenge tonight

Ahahahaha I was about to post "This raid is so easy when are FoG going to down it". Nvm they have, Graipe and Kings Guard next?

Grats to all recent kills.

No you cant. You have to go at least 1 ramp down.

Yes you can. The first couple of times we did the fight we didn't really know when we were going to have to drop down, so the people up top just jumped down when he called "Cowards.." with no problem at all. We had a tank (no names ) actually fall off once too.

Hm I know I ended dead whenever I tried. I guess I should find me a teacher of advanced dragon jumping

You can jump from the "1st floor" ledges whenever he falls onto his side in the middle of the room, I guess exactly the same applies for the "2nd floor" ledges. We haven't had a tank try it before the "Cowards.." phase but I 'd guess it is possible. Maybe you tried jumping while he was still "active"?

No, it was the start of the phase 3, he was close to 60% or so and I was expecting another runaround and suddenly he dropped in morale significantly and started the phase 3. I thought it might be my lag but some others noticed those little "jerks" in morale dropping as well. Not sure if its another bug or WAI.

Anyways I suck in jumping so that could be the reason I havent managed to jump off the top floor yet

As you can see from my legit screen shot, my epic raiding kin Graipe downed T2 HM tonight - proof = shoulders + title.

Add us to the list plx.

So... Mith, did you really join Graipe just to get that screenie?

I am adding FoG and Midnight Star, but the Graipe one, I smell a rat from the chat window

If Graipe really have killed it then sorry for doubting you.

Ive just read the whole 10 pages, and some ppl on page 9 says its impossible to down Draigoth 6 man T2 HM

Well Team Alandica Mellon does not agree with that since we on the Evernight server just did it the night of Friday the 16/12-2011.
The whole encounter took about 2 hours. We had 1 wipe on stage 1, then proceeded to go again.
Since no one else, as far as we know, has claimed or proofed they did it 6man on Evernight server, we hope this to be a server first.
Loot:
1xhelm
1xshoulder
2x worn symbol of celebrimbor
1x necklace with 61might/300 some morale/some inc healing (dont remember name)
Various runes n relics.
AND Draigoch trophy for our kinhouse.

Grats goes out to:
Poppins (captain)
Jacodir (Guardian)
White (who was kind enough to come on burglar)
Giladanel (loremaster)
Jilander (who came on his minstrel Tecuro)
Dimhilion (Hunter)

I do not know why forum post my name as "cubasnmbdasgd"

you do realise they nerfed the dragon with last weeks patch..

Yes i do.. but the only thing they nerfed rly was the morale of the #######.. still does the same dmg. We had the 6man tactics worked out for at least 4 weeks. Just never been able to get ppl together to invest the time in it.. not until last night.

We tried a 3man about 6 weeks ago, but as solo hunter took me 2 trys to get just 1 leg down, and the run would have taken 4-5 hours at least. We used same tactics on the 6man run.

Big gz!
Ok they nerfed it, but still it's a great accomplishment! And i found it to be long and boring with 12... ;-)
