No trans?
Can't use trans on this raid.
Actually, here's AFK's commentary:
The most important mass army battle that was added with the Dragon extra episode.
The raid is hosted by the server with a limited amount of rooms. The rooms are automatically created by the server once a room is finished with the battle.
There are 8 slots for 40-59lv characters and 16 slots for lv60 and above. And since the rooms are made server-wise, we've got no choice but to PUG this battle.
With so many people, mass-army raids have a different party interface. Instead of the red health bars and names, there is a counter for how many players are standing and how many are dead. This is important since party feathers only revive up to 7 members.
Some parts of the graphics are automatically toned down along with some functions. For example, evie's revive doesn't lift the corpse.
Other differences include slower SP gain, no armor breaking [except for shields], no trans, and reverse gravity only works for a really short period that can be extended by having several Evies use gravity simultaneously.
The dragon has several break offs like his tail wings and front leg thorns. The important parts are his tail, since it greatly decreases the range of his tail swipe. And the front leg spikes since they're quite expensive.
Other parts of the battle includes cursed fire thats a DoT debuff that never wears off unless you get into a pool that can be created by bringing a bucket of water to a nearby pit. Shelters can be made to hide behind against the [unblockable] black orbs that causes the cursed flames. But people consider it a waste of time so I've never seen it constructed.
The dragon can be pulled down from the sky when it's doing it's aerial phase with small blasts of fire. Several balista rounds are required to do this and they say that hitting him with spears also helps. When successfull, the dragon takes a certain amount of damage and is stunned providing precious dps time.
There is one normal attack here but I prefer large shield. The only reason I was using small shield here was that I was in a hurry and forgot that I had my small shield on :P
