Bi was out of town and the kids were safely bedded down, so it was time to check in on EQ doings. Well, I was just in time to catch the last boat out to NToV for a little dragon schooling. I had had too bad a headache the nght before to play and EE had gone to NToV and wiped several times. Tonight everyone was up for a little revenge.

And revenge was what we served up in spades. We had a typical CotH break in with us jumping to the steps outside Eashan's room and then fighting around the lava to the good stuff in the back. Even skipping the gallery and the hub, this is still a 90 minute ordeal.

Then we are ready with the real dragons, first, the triplets. The first pull is Zlexak. He makes any Kunark dragon look like a total pussy. He has a 1250 HP AoE with a disease based slow component (65%). Positioning is so key. With an AoE like that, the casters have to be safe form the AoE or they are all dead and then you are too. Even though we beat him, it was a long fight and somewhat of a near thing.

After him the other two are easy: Sevalak and Cekenar.

Then we moved much further in and did another pretty easy dragon, sadly, I forgot it's name. The final fight of the night was Lady Nevederia easily the most annoying fight of the night. She is permarooted and has this spin affect AoE. So even though her AoE damage is not that high, it takes FOREVER to kill her. Tip: Use F9 to switch to a camera view or you WILL puke on this fight. At level 56 with resists pushing 275, I resisted exactly 1 AoE.

Nothing left but the wizzie party trick, of course, it was 2:30 am (again). /sigh
