So I started playing again and tried that Dragon Raid

  A simple side dodge might work, but you want to abuse the tracking speed. It's constantly moving at you at a fixed rate, so backwards and pure side dodges tend to give it more time to readjust to your position, thus causing it to smack right into you. If anything, it's easier to try and aim your dodge fowards since you have a larger time frame.
  
  As for the knockdown, why else would everyone care so much? I don't think the fall damage is significant, but the damage of ~20 people DPSing is. I actually use it to do a full Slashing High + Shelter Buff spin2win spree, which is enough to cause fluctuations of ~2% in my overall damage if I mess up my SP management at those points. You can also use the window to use your spears/sticky bombs in order to help get the breakoff. It's usually not worth it to try and DPS unless you have ~10k attack at least. I think the dragon has ~9.4k Def.

  Ah. I was thinking of something else. I thought that his defense went down when it happened or something, so I would be able to cause significant damage :/
  
  Also, the defense value according to the Vindictus Database is 9,606 DEF
  
  So, yeah ... Not going to do much in the damage category >.<

  Well, you're still doing something. What I meant was that it was relatively safe for anyone to just start shooting things at the dragon. I know I usually run up and shoot a Blind Arrow and some Magic Arrows on my alt before running off. That's if he falls down next to you or something though.
  
  Though I could probably gear up a Lv. 44 Fiona well enough for me to do fine against the Dragon...
  That'd actually be a pretty fun way to waste some time.

  [SIZE="1"]OP's an Evie, right?
  
  If you're Staff, keep an eye on your Healing Corona cooldown. Also keep an eye on your Revive cooldown. You will be thanked for it.
  And if your Corona isn't rA, I'd advise that you work on that. If your corona is only rF, then you'll imply others with a cooldown before they can hit a rA corona, and they'll get healed for less than they could. This can make people angry.
  
  If you're Scythe, remember that you have Revive, even if you're not a support unit like StEvie is.
  
  Btw:
  Goddess Grace (P) = Revives 4 people (user and 3 others).
  Party Feather = Revives 8 people.[/SIZE]
