    No offense but only stupid tanks take him north and honestly deserve to die. If you say tanking him there leaves room for error then you're wrong.

    1. if he is tanked in the center that means less room to travel when pulling skeletons to the edges.
    2. tanking him north means that some skeletons will cross through the water meaning more damage on you and more work on healers.
    3. tanking him north also means less room for dps to get positions on him and will likely have to go into the water resulting in less dps more work on healers.
    4. If he is centered the healers can easily reach everyone.
    5. group a should pull east while group b pulls west.
    6. no one will get hit by BD's cones if no one stands in the front. Only stay to his flank or rear.

    Frankly, as a healer, I don't mind because the entire fight is a snoozefest. Poison does pretty negligible damage, and we have sprint. Healing is no fun when people aren't dying.

    Really though, both methods have their pros and cons and both methods work. Stop trying to invalidate one or the other.

    Dear god...
    1. Skeletons spawn in center regardless of where the dragon is located.
    2. Valid point, my healers choose not to care.
    3. Honestly, the dragon dying faster would lead more to a wipe then a success (all skeletons that are alive when the dragon dies auto run to him)...This is not a DPS race!
    4. Valid point.
    5. This happens regardless of strategy.
    6. This happens regardless of strategy.

    So, your only valid point is that healing will be a bit more difficult and this is cause to claim that people using it deserve to die? Nice.

    Always remember the Silver Rule:

    Ive only tanked him in the center. Sometimes we had tanks who tried to provoke off me and move to the north, was kinda funny actually.
