In response to details;
Honestly, I think it was the typical strategy. We split up well and fairly spontaneously to take down the pillars. Having some Str characters with metalline or adamantine weapons makes them pretty easy. The DR of the pillars is pretty high, I would guess it's close to 20.

Good verbal communication on when the pillars needed to be taken down without a bad signal to noise ratio made it so we got them down the first time.

Again, good verbal communication on the strategy of buffing right by the entrance to the center island and when we were going to go.

We split the clerics up between the two rocks in case she tried to range one side or the other. Point of note, we had four clerics. I have no idea how much they healed. I personally did not take much damage.

We had planned on stepping back behind the rocks when her nose started to smoke in preparation for her breath but our DPS was high enough that we just flat beat her down before she could think about it.

I personally did try to stay under her chin, as recommended by some forums, as there may be a sweet spot to attacking her and not triggering her cometfalls and breath.

She really went down fairly quickly. This run was one higher level of characters too. We went with 10-13th levels instead of 9-12?? from before.

Indeed, those 3 Von 5 runs upped our level by one in many cases. I agree that communication went great, and the four clerics pretty much made hit point loss a nonissue (thankfully, we didn't have to put it to the test.) I think the "under the chin" placement must work well, I know Mockduck wasn't having trouble hitting. Loved it!

I thought I took one but I forgot to remap that key after I reloaded. So I didn't get one, but I do have a nice new snazzy dragon shield thanks to Boldo.

Well, I guess that means we will have to do it again next weekend so we can get some screenshots of it.

I know I have Sunday off so I would love it if we did.

I wanted to say sorry for missing so much time in the build guild. Summer has been especially busy for me this year as it seems every week there is something going on that I need to attend. I should be able to start being on Sundays again so hopefully I will be able to help you all with whatever you are working on.

See you in game,

First Tempest Spine run! We'll be doing a few more in the coming weeks. Also working on getting Demon Queen flagged. So far I know several of us are ready for Dragon and Titan as well.

oh I thought we were doing a TS next week.

Haven't we already done TS? I know Duin as done it at least 3 times. Could have sworn one was a guild run.

The thing about planning specifics is we are a growing guild and everyone has different schedules. It's really hard to plan for a specific quest on a specific day. Ultimately, the time to run the quest is when you are on with other guildies and all want to run it. We ran TS a few weeks ago because we had 12 people interested in running it at the level we were at. But we can always run it again.

NOTE: However, I will be out the next two Sundays. This weekend i'm moving out-of-state and the next weekend is GenCon!
