Aerin'dar Falls to GoB!

Wow, we are on a roll now. A Tier 2 boss mob falls easily on the first try. Last night we logged in at 9pm just as the AD raid was called. Rushing to PoV to the usual chaos of group formation in an unfamiliar spot and for the first time in forever stressing resists.

OK, I have to rant a bit. How in the hell can a group of people, average level 62 not know how to move from the zone in to another safe spot without getting agro? It boggles the mind. You didn't know Wolf Form is a bad idea?!? Are you an idiot. Wolf form is ALWAYS a bad idea in PoP and in so many other places that I rarely bother casting it anymore unless I am KoS anyway and prepared to fight everything. You didn't notice that skeleton is UNDEAD and sees through your inivis? How, exactly, did you get to be 61? I realize that, being a ranger, I am used to running around mobs and have a real good idea of what is dangerous and what is KoS, but the people that drew agro were Rangers and Druids, for the most part. Finger twiddlers, I can almost forgive, but they know enough to closely follow someone who knows where they are going and what they are doing. OK, AND if you do bungle (let's call it what it is) and get agro, SAY SOMETHING. We have a raid force that can dispatch anything in the zone with ease, call it out and kite it around to the MA. We wasted 15-20 minutes last night fighting trash and still had to camp to keep mobs from warping through the walls to get at people.

So, we buffed up in the (now) safe room and clicked into AD's chamber. Big open space with plenty of room to kite the gaurds. Except the lag was brutal. I was in Team Shoot (5 rangers and a 54 cleric). The Cleric was too low a level to get anywhere near the AoE and by hanging with us should be pretty safe since we easily outrange it. Except of course, the dragon turned and moved and we all got hit. The AoE is a 500dd, fear and a 7 tick 700dd DoT. Do that math. Death cleric and 3 dead rangers. Me and Giltaav survived and continued plugging the dragon which was about dead by the time I reacquired him. Woot. Pretty nice kill, now we had several guards to clean up, rez folks and get our flags. AD dropped Wrath of Mithaniel (Nalitra claimed), Honorable Longsword (Tigon claimed), a SP, and 4 EPs.
