The issue is on LOW POPULATION shards where often, there is not a group large enough to be able to deal with Paragons... And what does then happen ? Paragons PILE UP making it impossible to play in the dungeon. Eggs ? Sure, they "could" be a val…

Arnold7 said: The short answer to your question is that the energy vortex is not effective for dealing with most dragons including the greater dragon. They all dispell it with ease. Second, you don’t have enough mana to kill para dragons ou…

Petra_Fyde said: The obvious answer is 'don't fight greater dragons'. I have just spent an hour in Destard on Origin, I have 6 drops and have not killed a single greater dragon. I don't fight in the middle of the dragon area, I run around th…

Lord_Frodo said: What summons are you using? The only 1 Summon possible, Energy Vortexes.... Why is it the only 1 viable ? Because RC and Reapers are 5 slots and, thus, require the spellcaster to remain on foot which, with Greater Dragon…

Jepeth said: Hey, 'meh' all you want. While I generally opt for balanced gameplay in most situations in this instance I have to go with what we know about dragons from in-lore and out-of-universe fantasy stories. There is no way Smaug or Anca…

Jepeth said: Before the usual suspects show up and the usual responses occur, allow me to offer this perspective: why do you think your character knows more about magic than the magical, ancient, and ruthless dragon? Meh, what about, inste…

Personally, I can live with a reduced spawn rate, and they reduced it LOT as it previously was... if concurrently, @Kyronix increased significantly the chance to get a Fey Artifact drop, un order to compensate the much reduced spawn rate.... Infort…

This just happened to me in Destard.... While I was fighting regular spawn (Spellweaving Mage), a Paragon serpent spawns. I immediately cast a Summoned Reaper next to the Paragon Serpent and hide (I was about 6 or 7 tiles away from it) and stay st…

Merus said: Norry said: To side with popps, there are times when i cast. Get the animation and frozen, and it just never casts(no fizzle, no mana vamp ect) casting again fixes it. Same here, it’s a bit frustrating. It’s like the t…

Petra_Fyde said: By far the main reason for casting to fail when in protection is the lack of mana to complete the task. Mobs are annoyingly adept at stealing your mana just when you need it most. An alternative way to heal under such c…
