for gear score to matter they need to get all the attacks properly scaling with the players stats and damage.

the dragon instance wasnt very difficult at all, i was just put in a party full of idiots but basically it consisted of: two trickster rogue, control wizard, cleric (which didnt heal but played as a melee class), and a tank (was around lvl 30)
the dragon does an AoE poison attack which nobody except me runs away from it and the whole party dies except me, it also does a linear/line of sight poison fireball thing easy to dodge, and it spawns endless waves of other monsters which the control wizard was pretty much soloing while i was soloing the dragon and everyone else kept dying.. got the dragon down to half hp and then i died too
i was thinking of a strategy where someone can aggro all the monsters and run around in circles while everyone else focus on the dragon but nobody really did that so they died over and over again
the instance was lvl 35ish and i brought around 80 large pots (that heal 4000 health each)

there are other hard dungeons beyond that one. that is just a taste of pain to come my friend also the lowwer bosses get in HP the bigger the adds they tend to spwan
Killed this mad dragon on my 5th try today. It did not help to get groups with no clearics in 2 of those. Only tips I have are:
- GF points the dragon away from the group (else DPS will get hit by too much aoe). Try and mark up on him the whole time. It's quite a lot of side-moving away from that frontal cones and the smaller circles on the ground. Every thing else can be blocked.
Cleric will probably not have a easy time targeting you (and is probably busy staying alive, so prepare to have **** loads of pots (I only used 2K pots and if was fine at lvl 35). Keep weaken him up. Focus on getting your guard maxed. DPS is on adds the whole time, so aggro should not be that hard. I mostly used my dailys to heal myself, but knocking mobs that stand under the dragon if your full health can help clearic. AVOID getting aggro on the adds though. They hurt a lot if they are behind you!
- DPS stay with your clearic. Try and CC as much as possible. Adds spawn on certain % on the dragon, so dont go hitting the dragon if adds are still up.
- Clearic. Stay alive :P
Compared with the other bosses so far. This was one major step up in teamwork and coordination needed. Completly uncalled for this early in the game.
