People intentionally triggering Spike Flail on Mieru

[Pixela]

So on Asura a person called Razma intentionally spike flails Mieru over and over and over again, they do this for the full duration and have done it multiple times in the past. Spike flails every few seconds are going to cause perma wipes and a fail to kill.

If this mechanic isn't going to be removed, and I know it's not. Why not allow them to be charmed? So we can kill them for doing it.

Yes indeed, 160+ in zone at the time too. If GMs can’t get involved at the time at least players should have a way to mitigate malicious behavior when the consequences are a month long. This is the type of problem that will run the game into the ground if un answered

Plz remove spike flail from Mireu thx.

Or maybe make it only affect players with enmity, and/or only within a range of less than the entire confrontation area. (Even just giving trusts Mobilization status for as long as their party leader has it would help.)

If it didn't make recovery absolutely impossible and joining the battle risky at best, it might not be so bad.

Another possible fix might be making it so Spike Flail from Mireu has a unique added effect of removing Elvorseal from whoever has top enmity when it's used, forcing them to at least go back to the NPC and start over building enmity to do it again? (Or just fully erase their existing enmity?) On an ordinary dragon, that might not be a desirable behavior, but in this specific case, where Mireu just has so much potential for griefing, it would be well justified.

Mireu’s spike flail actually extends outside the confrontation area. Made it rather difficult to actually report the guy doing it

How is someone not in the confrontation able to trigger it?

I think the indication here is that some people can't see who is doing it, because the spike flail reaches outside of the engagement area, so if you've an elvorseal, it can still hit you before you even run in, making it difficult to see who is doing it, and difficult to do the content.

I was actually just barely outside the confrontation zone when I got hit by it again. Obviously had the elvorseal, I was there at pop time because I was expecting there to be a problem after the mess 10 days earlier. Specifically up against the corner wall on the left side just inside the door. Enough that I got the red reset warning messages after I got knocked out and I still got hit again mid animation after raising. Hopefully tonight/tomorrow morning doesn’t end up being another shit show. Going to try to be there if I can stay awake long enough

Razma has a superior Mireu strategy by fighting it from behind. The same as for the other DI dragons.

Yesterday, I too fought Mireu from behind, and was pleased with the results. More people should join the movement of Mireu strategy.

If the goal is to defeat the dragon, and the result of the strategy being used is that the dragon is not defeated, it is not a superior strategy.

But hey, if it works, that's cool too, I for one welcome a strategy where I can just kick back for 45 minutes waiting for someone else to try and solo the thing, if it gets the job done in the end.
