Alright, let's get this started. Where should i start? Ok, i feel those of us who have played NWPC Rise of Tiamat should inform the people who are new on NWXBOX.
1) Dragon Hoard Coins- save up as many as possible starting now. trust me, you'll be using a LOT of them once this module launches.
2) Try not to focus so much on gearscore- instead, focus on your stats/build/boons/abilities and how you play your class. I've seen too many people fuss and complain on the Well of Dragon's Zone chat about how "low gs people shouldn't be able to do tiamat"
3) Party up- During the Tiamat fight, or even the quests in the Zone, partying up will make your life easier. You will get quests done faster, and get Party bonuses and yada yada same old stuff you've probably already read
4) WoD Dragon order- if people do the same on Xbox as they do/did on PC, then this is important. everyone meets at a very specific spot, then kill dragons in clockwise order. it's been a while so i forgot which draconic Herald was in the bottom left of the map.
5) Dragon Hoard reclamation- this is vital to the tiamat battle. it will require a lot of reclamation points to get the boons, but it's worth it. each of the 4 tiers grant stat bonuses for the battle and they can stack the more tiers you have. Also, at Tier 4 (reclamation of 100), you have a chance (yes a chance...) to get your Artifact offhand. If not that, each victory will give you a Linu's Favor. and 15 of these are needed to buy your Artifact Offhand from the WoD store.
did i forget anything?

The best way to protect the clerics in the Tiamat fight is to draw mobs away from them, not camp on top of the clerics so they get mob and dragon breath damage.
Otherwise there are a couple of strategy threads on Tiamat. Of course there's no telling if the Xbox Well of Dragons will work exactly like the PC one.

Seriously though, I can these zones being madhouses without some organization. Hopefully the word spreads fast.

Question: only those with 100% campaign can do this?
No. If I'm remembering correctly from when it launched for PC, the requirements for Well of Dragons were level 60 (of course) and 10k GS. If anything, the WoD dailies make finishing up your campaign tasks easier because they provide more sources of currency.
The Tiamat encounter does not require a campaign unlock.

If what the others are saying is right, as long as you have 10k gs, then yes. although i would spend the time to work on the campaign for the boons and also get good gear for your class
Thank you
i feel that since i have some experience and that we are all a community i should help keep it healthy
DON'T. AFK. AT. THE. BASE! that's a sure-fire way to ruin your chances of winning the Fight. Even if you're dying a lot, you can die while doing the objective/providing buffs for people/debuffs on enemies. In one hand you could be dying a lot but contributing something for the goal, on the other hand, you could be afk at the base and providing NOTHING for everyone

It's not easy. but if we start early and get the word out now, we could see potential... i think

if you want 100% success on tiamat!.....
and oh!, P.S. be ready for campers, SHOUTS for laggers on DC AS & GF KV, low GS, low DPS, dropping framerates & etc. XD lol!....... <---Hoping these wont happen on XBone.
idr much about DC AS or GF KV.... but i covered low gs and low dps. i said they should spend time now to get better gear and work on their stats before this module launches on xbox. dropping framerates is a given since there's going to be a lot of things going. and it is indeed a very big boss battle. heck, my laptop, even on lower settings, suffered framerate-wise. a few occasions it did the whole "not responding" window thing.
idk. but from my experience, rarely have i seen GFs use KV so maybe there's some reason behind that
wait i think i remember that now XD it was some time after the tiamat battles began and not soon after lol
from what I do remember is those 2 skills was having a big impact on drop of framerates resulting to character freeze due to skill animations. So if those was fixed then there is no worries on XBoners but if not well GL
I'm not really in a PVE guild as I mainly pvp, so I think would be cool if we got a huge thread going to coordinate this when we actually have to ability to do it.
I'm sorry i never explained this. my bad lol
Basically, in the Well of Dragons Zone, in the center, there's a crate/thing where you can donate your dragon hoard coins and other things to the hoard reclamation. Killing enemies/completing Heroic Encounters will sometimes grant you items to donate to the reclamation. You take whatever it is you're going to donate to the thing at the center of the zone, and choose how much you want to donate. sorry if my terminology is confusing, but it's been a while since i last played NWPC and i forgot a LOT.
I have used KV on every Tiamat fight, it's not an issue. Just be prepared for the damage from breaths, adds, etc.
The Tiamat Fight:
- It's boring as hell, and you need to run it (and win) over 100 times to get all of the gear and boons introduced with the well of dragons.
- It drops unbound T2 set items all of the time, so better sell the ones you have before tiamat launches. Prices are going to crash
- 20 minutes to beat tiamat, consists of an initial beginning phase, in which you need to kill 5 seperate enemies to pick up an reusable item that will protect you from the breath of one of the five heads. After that phase, it alternates between mob killing phases and Tiamat damaging phases.
- Stick together, keep mobs off the clerics during the phases that occur inbetween the two minute rounds you have to attack tiamat.
- Debuffs are your friends. Debuff the **** out of tiamat, and buff your team as high as possible.
- Use the dragon slaying and protection scrolls that drop from the dragons in the well of dragons.
- Dodging: Dodging is super key in the tiamat fight. There will not be indicators for many deadly 25k damage attacks. The demon mobs in Tiamat hit /really/ hard. You're going to need to anticipate when they are about to hit you, and time your dodges appropriately.
- You're going to lose a whole lot at the beginning.
- Lag will kill you multiple times during the fight.
- Having a fast mount will make a difference during this fight.
