    I literally just came out of a CT that took the dragon north. In fact, I've yet to see a group try it with the dragon in the middle. Wall dragon is perfectly fine as long as the remaining tanks aren't asleep or fighting over aggro.

    Honestly, this is the biggest issue I have period. I'll Tomahawk or Shield lob, run toward the end of an empty column, only to have to run all the way back because some other tank grabbed him and ran a different direction. This would be understandable if we both tried at the same time, but I've had times that another tank would do this when the skeleton was half way to the end platform.

    Also, I've had healers throw a regen on me or heal me while I'm running the skeleton into position..... don't do that! Those couple SL/THs aren't always enough to stop it from charging you before I get it to were it needs to go.

    I queue up a Halone by refreshing fast -> savage over and over until a skele spawns. Then just tab the skele, halone as you run by, and you'll have aggro (unless provoked) no matter what.

    It's hard to do that in the runs I've been in as the MT always takes the Dragon to the far north. So, the off tanks are just standing around in the middle waiting for a Skeleton to spawn.

    Ahh I can see that. Another reason I prefer drag mid I suppose.

    How ive always seen it done as well. Never seen anyone even try to tank the dragon in the middle out of like 15 runs. Tomahawk the skele, and run off to the platform with it.
