Looting rights

in New Legacy
Just fought the Icemancer and yet again No looting rights( only 1 time in last 20), I put discord on my mage( just for this reason) and managed to get Discord on him at beginning. I couldn't do anything but direct damage as he was auto dispelling my summons almost as soon as they appeared(this does not happen all the time but frequently). I thought getting discord on boss helped on looting rights though I have been gone several years so I do not know what has changed.

I know at the end of beta my mage was only getting rights about 50% of the time and that was with 60% SDI, inscription bonus ect, and there are more tamers now fighting bosses than then. So it seems tamer/mage is only option as things do not look like they will improve much even when or if the Congarium advances.

    I know the feeling. As a fellow bard/mage its almost impossible getting loot rights against most bosses now using only summons and direct damage through spells. There are just too many tamers doing waaaay more damage than a simple mage can do. 

    I don't even bother trying to damage bosses anymore. Just heal the pets which are likely doing the most damage.. white wyrms, manticore, emberwing... you have a much higher chance at loot rights if ya just stick it healing.

    Actually, I got looting rights by ignoring the boss, not attacking it, but casting heal as fast as I could on everyone else.

    was not aware that healing gave you looting rights, though have always done this with pets although finding the one taking damage with 40-50 pets there(like at Icemancer) seems like it would be a pain. though I suppose not as bad as getting the bosses bar if you miss it at beginning

    I'm sure healing pets or players works.  It's part of the top damager system. Healing ressed players doesn't count.  My 100% fire damage pets only do 18 damage per hit.  Our mana regen is so slow,  I can cast flamestrike only a few times and have mana for healing.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.
