Dismal Shade luring

guess what? i've been in many squads for him, and he was killed every time in his corner. all you have to do is keep him in his corner-start the battle while he is near the back wall.

problem solved. only squads who arent strong enough and cant control their mob let them run around the room to aggro dismal

Smart players pull mobs to where they feel comfortable killing them, and there is nothing in the rules that say you cannot do so within reason.


Period, end of story.

y did they put silver frost next to dismal shade?

To weed out the people who haven't learned how to control aggro by level 70. Or if they do draw aggro, they don't run around like a chicken with its head cut off aggroing everything else in the area. If you have competent players, it's pretty easy to keep him in the corner, out of Dismal's aggro range. Only the corner tombstone should give you problems.

Problem is, pulling Dismal to the entrance blocks off access to all of SP and FB29 to everyone due to his AOE. If their real intent is to kill Dismal without being bothered by the AOE mobs in his room, the rooms just around the corner with the Ancient Evils would do fine. People pull him to the entrance just to be asses.

The problem is not with silver frost, the problem is with dismal. There are people who often pull dismal all the way to the entrance just for the fun of clearing the area.

Maybe dismal should be scripted so that it does not follow if people leave the room? Solve the problem rather quickly.

For the people who are having trouble reading the entirety of my post before responding, I emphasized the most important part of my post.


TYVM for actually reading the entirety of my post before responding next time.

I seen ppl run from him to the entrance *running for life* and ofc they die and so do all others who are afk, or low lv >.>

they werent running, they lured him there intentionally already got a S/S and ticketed it.

i've worked with you and others on silver- thanks for the backup!

though it takes time to beat silver down sometimes, its a simple thing to keep him contained, and whoever is nearest to the tombstone can swat it down whenever it respawns. to illustrate, here is a map:





and you are right about people learning how to control aggro...even someone far below lv70 can learn how to handle aggro. its something that you learn long before your first FB. if someone hasnt learned it by then, then they are better off playing Neopets or something similar to that.

Solandri, don't assume things about someone's life that you really have no clue about, and there are terms out there used to voice agreement or disagreement, it's your choice to use them or not to use them.

I'm not the one who jumped into an ad hominem attack (twice!) based on misinterpreting the meaning behind someone's post.

I have nothing against you, and in fact I think you are among the most sensible posters on these forums. I just don't feel the need to heap praise over and over, much like I don't call people idiots (I think Zoe is the only one I've done that to here). When I make a comment on a topic, it's virtually guaranteed I do so with no ill will directed at the author of the post I'm replying to.

If it will help: My sincerest apologies if what I wrote lacked clarity and caused you to misinterpret what I meant because I did not affirm the main point of your post. I do try to preview and proofread what I post, but it's not always possible to catch every way my posts could be misinterpreted.

Bottom line, boss-dragging is considered griefing, and is a bannable offense.
