A Visual Guide to the Bone Dragon in Crystal Tower

[permbanned]

Tanks pulling the dragon to a wall is annoying as fuck for melee players since they have to run through the poison to dps skeletons. I can't f'n stand it lol. Keep it in there center >.>

[BoomerOU]

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.

Middle is more simple. Just stun the Dragon's cone aoe after 2nd wave.

[Billzey]

Killing it in the middle is potentially dangerous if melees/OTs are running the skeletons to the platforms as they could get hit by the dragon as well. It would also be annoying as a healer to have to run around the dragon to heal people effectively, rather than just running through the circle platform. Essentially, the strategy on the OP is worse than the strategy people actually use. Please remove or modify it.

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.

[ElosHellion]

I tried it like that a few times my first try, but with dragon in middle we kept on wiping, we tried it with dragon on the end of the northmost row and did it fine. I'd imagine the breath cone attack would be pretty bad if you did it in middle.

Stun it...

Seriously, anytime the dragon gets pulled from the center I just want to afk and facepalm. On phase 3 it really doesn't matter because there are no skeletons, but in my experience, the fight goes so much smoother if he stays in the middle.

[Bamboofox]

I've only ever seen him tanked in the middle. People have thrown out suggestions to pull the dragon north, but I've never seen anyone actually follow that advice.

[DracotheDragon]

normally the group i play with pulled the dragon north to protect everyone from the Cone AOE which most people agree with once we tell them
i did not however know the cone AOE was stunnable because the tanks said they tried to stun

plus it dosnt help when we keep the dragon centre most people kill the skeletons so close to it we can't kill them before the mass whipe
