Monday March 7th

The night was spent in DoN land.

First the dragon. We beat him the first time a week or two ago. A fast and fun fight, we farm him every 5 days. Then it was on to the next dragon in the progression Rikkukin, or as I call him Rikky. Rikky is a PITA. He has 3 AoE, 4 really, casts them all the time and and flips all over the place. You got the DoT, tough enough as it is, but not too bad. Then there is the "breath weapon" AoE and then two forms of focused rampage (for 5K and 7K). Oh, and he AoE blinds and will occasionally cast a spell that turns melee damage into health.

Is that sick or what? Now, he warns you about these things in emotes. You have (or at least you should) to put up another chat window and through "other" into it so you don't miss the emote that will let you avoid some of the fun. Well, we tried this 3 times in 3 hours and failed at them all. The delay isn't the script, there is no trash or lockout, it's the MGB timers. You need to have some MGB heals, Paragon, etc. And it makes no sense to try again without them if you failed with them. So we wait and wait and ponder about getting SoE to give us a way to lower that reset time.
