Just curious, I noticed you can single target destroy the spirits but it is far too large of an amount of them for 1 or 2 people to even scratch the surface. Other than that he doesnt seem too bad.

Fortunately for us we usually bring more than 1 or 2 people to Lethon.

I dunno I like to solo him when I have the time.


So I am guessing you guys focus damage on the spirits when you fight him. I am just curious cause I helped with one kill on my server where the RL told us to ignore the spirits and focus damage on the dragon. Seemed to take awhile but worked pretty well.

Does it take more time to kill a spirit or to dps through all the health one heals again?

I think you have your answer right there.

Or you could ask your server dude why he choose a certain strategy, why is usually a pretty good question to ask.

It was a fight last night and my first experience with him. It was just something I was thinking about this morning and it didnt really occur to me to ask why he chose to use that strategy. I am always looking to make stuff easier for myself and was curious if perhaps there was a specific reason to not kill the spirits. Since I was just doing my free agen duties last night I was just gonna do exactly what I was told to do and really wasnt there to ask questions.

No, that's a retarded strategy.

I can understand telling HEALERS not to kill spirits, because you might figure that surviving spirits = longer fight but dead tank = wipe. But if any DPS class is doing anything other than killing shades while shades are still up, that's just plain dumb.

LOL, not on this server. At least for the 4 new dragons. If only people didn't mind to wipe a couple of times, and more people were online. Oh, well.

I don't think any other guild or mixed up group has killed the 4 dragons other then EJ. Shit when the dragons pop, they(EJ) probably don't need to hurry over. They could fly to the damn spawns and save soul shards.

BUT, elfan and I have killed 3 of them. Don't ask me how, we just did.

I can easily kill 4-5 shades with rank 1 moonfire before they reach Lethon.

Ysondre is quite competitive when she spawns.

Aeternus/Aftermath groups have at least 3-4 dragon kills, probably more.

OH, thats why you guys always take so long to get to the NON-EASY dragons first.

our server has alot of guilds competing. There is usually 4-5 guilds total and they are split. There are atleast 2 horde guilds that run over to it and 3 alliance guilds.

We also have 5 guilds that have killed nefarian and 3 others on him. Most were frustrated that they werent the first so they are fighting over these dragons for the NR stuff for AQ cause they all want to get the first kills. It is quite entertaining watching the silly bickering about who was first for what. Typically you get 1 hour after spawn to get him killed. I have gotten 3am phone calls(waking me up :() asking if I want to help out.

Successful or not, they're extending the fight more than they should, allowing more time and more opportunities for something to go wrong. A swift damage spike on the MT, coupled with a lapse in healing, and all that effort they put in (which possibly allowed other guilds more time to start gathering for an attempt) goes to waste.

No, I think we'll keep killing the shades and quickly move on to the next dragon, since they all typically spawn at the same time, thank you very much.

yeah I tend to agree, but they will most likely continue with that plan of action till it backfires on them. Success many times breeds complacency(spelling?). We didnt get any real alliance defiance till the very end but I am sure if this boss like most of the others becomes more hotly contested they will want to figure out how to speed up the fight. I would say the fight lasted somewhere around 10 minutes but I am just going off of memory and really dont know for sure.

oh god why are we giving green dragon advice in our public forum D:

sorry didnt want to pull any top secret strategies but killing the ghosts seemed like something the developers intended raids to do and yet the group I killed him with the other night did not. Found it odd and I respect EJ's views on bosses.

"Fuck, you mean you're supposed to KILL the shades!?"

Oh no, we're never going to get a Lethon kill again. :(

I wand the whole fight and let Squidy heal my group...

Figured I would mention this since the MT whispered me to clarify. Apparently I was wrong and there is just few that DPS on the 75% spawn. All the rest are DPSed. The other guild that kills him on our server is alliance and they dont DPS them at all apparently.

I don't think you can count hitting them once as DPS.

You know what I mean.

If you know he knows what you know, why do you post so that everyone knows that you know he knows you both know. huh? HUH!!!

so that he knows that I know that he knows what I meant.
