Today's update:

Just cleaned up and added a little to the

Modified the . We now have 18 commitments. I've put in columns for "main character name" and "current level", with color coding...green means the character has reached their target DH level and red means they are still leveling up. Additionally, bold was used to indicate my own personal choice (at this time) of what character would be most needed, when there was a choice. I'm quite quite quite open to discussion and re-thinking on this. There was a mix of fact, opinion and guesswork here, so let me know if I've misrepresented your target, etc.

I was somehow confused yesterday, so here's the current breakdown:

7 Tanks (1 Warrior, 1 SK, 1 Bard, 1 Paladin, 3 Monks)
5 Healers (4 Clerics, 1 Druid)
3 DoTers (2 Necros, 1 Shaman)
3 Nukers (1 Wizard, 2 Mages)
+ 6 pets


------------- On the topic of Crowd Control ---------------
We *are* missing crowd control. And from the snippets below, I wonder if that isn't a mistake...

"We ended up with 4 IGs and 1 FG at zone line..."
" Giants do spawn in Vox's chamber, make sure you take them out first or else your in for a hell of a fight. "
etc etc...same for Nagafen.

One strategy is to have a few 65ish level character nearby to take care of these "trash mobs". Another would be to get ourselves some CC, but that'd mean probably a pair of 50th level enchanters.

I can't see myself putting 20 levels on Dralia before the Fall, even if I played her exclusively, so that's out.

Do I misunderstand a Bard's ability to CC? Would a single Bard, pulled out of the ranks of the tanks and put on CC duty be better?

Clerics and Paladins can Pacify...Necros can mezz for 18 seconds at a time...there ARE options....

Ideas?

My mages name is Jonez.

bard mezzing is strong at that level but i dont know if they will be able to mezz giants .. (we tend to have trouble mezzing those at times but i know they can be charmed) but if they can be mezzed and if the bard has a good windstrument and cha no less the i would say 150 they wouldnt have a problem with cc.. worse comes to worse i can make a chanter vs leveling olbitty lol

You're forgetting that giants cannot be mezzed - only off tanked or charmed.

This is where your group of higher level characers can come in.

Agreed Llaffer. Also doesnt even really need to be a group necessarily. For example, Big Vae i know for a fact, with a cleric to back him, can run around and keep those giants agroed and dead pretty good. But yeah, a single group of people too high to participate can very easily control the Giants that spawn. I WOULD be nice to have at least one chanter for haste/mind candy/nukage, but if we plan this the right way, we can all have our Dragon Hunters buffed out by our Uber Types before the battle.

Also, my necros name is Vayseth.

I'm slowly reading through both the Vox and Naggy sections of Allakhazam and around the web. What I seem to see, so far, is that 53+ characters can't get within Vox's or Naggy's aggro range, and possibly not into their main rooms, but other than that, you could pull giants out of the main room and leave them for a higher level group to deal with.

Also, as to Chanter buffs, I don't see why we can't get mindcandy ahead of time, as Vae said, and leave it at that....haste buff would be good, but not sure it's worth having a chanter along JUST for that, especially since Llaffer reminds me that giants can't be mezzed anyway.

Updated yer name, Vae.

High level characters can clear the fire giants and buff the actual dragon hunters in the staging area right outside Nagafen's lair. If someone too high ventures into the lair itself, he is banished by the dragon to the entrance of the zone.

Or another option is bringing in 1 chanter to MGB VoQ right before the fight. Crowd control really shouldn't be an issue for you Drex, as long as you've got some higher ups around. I'd like to say I'm willing to pledge my shaman, Raznorak (currently lvl 25), to help you guys, but I don't know how much play time I have -but I will try to accomodate. If I find a lack of time to play him, however, I'll try to be at the dragon raids to keep the giants preoccupied
