While we are dying on the bridge over and over and trying to kill vishap

We've already seen monster that can reposition (like alexandrite map mobs that always surround you), certainly they can apply this AI to NPC partners like the knights in Steps of Faith or chocobo companions. Have them attack the flank or rear if not tanking, or heck, even circle around to dodge AoE.

All that goes out the window anyway once to the damn turtle spawns.
I REALLY hate that turtle.

You know a turtle is bad when even the person form the server named after a turtle hates it. xP

In all seriousness yeah the turtle is the worst part of the entire thing. Turtle should be the number 1 priority when it spawns if you have new players in the group as it just makes things harder if kept alive.

My chocobo is physco and attacks everything head on when in dps stance and dies alot because of it.

Yeah, the AI that controls the NPCs in Steps is.... pretty awful. About the only thing they can be reliably counted on for is killing the biasts if you manage to kill the other adds first. Other than that? Most useless NPCs ever.

Vishap is a huge winged flying dragon, therefore his logical attack path is to walk very slowly across a bridge.

Okay?

There are magical wards across all other parts of the city that are generated on the bridge. So Iceheart disabled the first one, and then Vishap was sent in to blast down the wards one by one, so that the rest of the city would be completely defenseless to airborne attacks.

Basically, if Vishap and other Dravonians tried an aerial attack with the wards still up, it would be akin to a bird smacking into a glass window. THUNK!

I think what Illya meant is that it makes more sense for a FLYING dragon to just nuke the wards from the air where...you know...he can't be attacked...

Unless you're Onyxia, one simply does not take a deep breath to raze something while flapping wings to carry their massive weight.

One does not simply walk into Ishgard
