*** Welcome to Sojourn ***

[Mplor]

Goodies didnt make a single attempt on Tiamat during Soj2. Evils had early strength in melee + dragon-bashing squids, while goodies had uber nukage but our melee were only just coming into their own when the mud shut down. Uber nukage + "Tiamat shrugs, and resists your spell!" = waste of time. Frankly, Any_Mob + PWK = boycott, just on general principle.

That last reason was the one that decided me to swear off Tiamat during Soj2. Tiamat is fun for the novelty, but once the novelty wears off, it's not really much of a 'skill' zone. Victory by Attrition != fun.

Mp

[Jegzed]

The most fun part of tiamat is the scramble after entering the portal. To gather the group and try to fight off the dragons

/Jegzed

[Zoldren]

best part....
Jegzed tells you 'go 1s and die'
lol
Zold

[Wargo]

It's been awhile since I last fought against Tiamat but I thought she doesn't track all the way to the other side of portal? Couldn't you just run to the portal? Even if you nuke yourself to death in that room is better no? At least saves one extra corpse to cr...

Wargo

[Ruhr]

mplor,

Melee was comming into it's own? How so? What with no monks, and I'm sure haste didn't last the whole fight... not to mention low stat weapons.

[Ragorn]

They had just upgraded a lot of weapons, and if I remember right assassins got double attack, giving them an extra hit.

Plus, more and more people were getting windsongs, ambrans, enchanted gythkas, etc. Given another month or two, we'd have made an attempt I think.

- Ragorn

[Jegzed]

If I recall correctly, Lazzraxxum had planned another attempt for the weekend after shutdown for evils.

I think we had like 100+ pendants.

By doing the quest 100+ times of course

100+? Man you guys seriously twinked laby then, because we were doing it every chance we could and we were stagnant around 40-45?

I was planning to attempt her, heh, rotsa rangers!

[Waelos]

Grin Jurdex

Seriously, I think we could have done it at around the time the mud shut down. Saitcho, Ragorn and myself had archery mastered, or very close (can't speak for them). Collectively we had the damroll. It would have been a lot of fun . . . switching roles with invokers for one fight (everyone! keep the rangers alive no matter what you do!) *laugh*

What fun that would have been! Ah well!

By the end, most of our main melee had damrolls over 40, some over 45. They were wielding Twilights, Gythkas, Ambrans, Etched daggers, and practically everyone had an engulfed longsword. Hell, my primary alt had 48damroll, and my tertiary alt had 40dam.

I dont mean we'd have been as strong as pre-wipe melee groups, but we were about as strong as we were going to get. Just the same, I wasn't going to do lead Tiamat. Aside from the baby red charge, the zone was dumb as hell.

[This message has been edited by Mplor (edited 03-03-2001).]

[Verarb]

eheh Tiamat woulda owned us. The carnage woulda been a spectacle to behold. Fun! fun!

[Corth]

Heheh.. yah the baby red fights were fun.

I'm still convinced 5-6 competent players could kill all of them in a single run. Now that would be a blast.

Corth

[Jegzed]

I dunno corth, 9 dragons breathing in any of the 3 rooms.

Thats simply too much for 6 ppl no matter what.

[cherzra]

I second that. This was before the last shutdown:

Several small orbs of red glowing light are embedded into the
ceiling high above, illuminating the area with a dull red hue. On
the eastern and western walls, huge stunning murals depict Tiamat,
the mighty Chromatic Dragon in flight, with her five heads each
blasting their deadly breath into the sky. On the northern wall,
a great golden tablet rests on top of a fat marble pedestal. The
tablet is covered with writing. The only exit is back to the
south.

Cherzra EAT SLIME!

Its doable with a little luck:

Wait until one of the magic-allowable rooms has 0 or 1 dragons in it. Get everyone into the room and clear it. Now you have your beach-head. As the other dragons wander in, you just pick them off like you do normally.

Those dragons are weak by themselves. They don't breath or hit very hard. You used to see those massive spanks because its difficult to get a large group spelled up and into the portal before the mobs wandered.

I'm still in monkmindset though so maybe you would need a couple more people now. Especially since voker's wouldn't get much of a chance to mem. It could have been done in the past with 1)Bard, 2)dwarf warrior (wearing all hitpoints), 3)dwarf cleric, 4)sorc 5)monk 6)monk or backup dwarf warrior. Then the trick is to have everyone kneeling until the warrior rescues after a dragon wanders in.

You could also substitute a shaman for the bard and use group heals and then you might be able to keep the group stoned.. the problem with that is I'm not sure if a shaman could mem back stones and group heals fast enough to keep everyone healthy. I'd rather take a bard and have the sorc keep only the warrior(s) stoned and maybe himself.

But you say: if 2 of the reds wander in at the same time, it becomes a difficult fight. Thats where the luck element comes in Such a group would probably not be able to handle 2 at the same time. However, each time you kill one there are less mobs wandering about so the chances go up that your only going to fight one at a time. If you can take out like 3 of them without getting spanked your golden.

This strategy uses the bare minimum amount of people. Obviously you have a much better chance winning if you use a few more people. However I am of the firm belief that you had a serious law of diminishing returns in this area. At a certain point, the confusion that results when you have 20 people who have to act in concert when things are going really fast actually decreases the effectiveness of the group. What you get in brute force you lose in competence and cohesiveness of the group as a whole. I bet that people will find the young reds to be easier now that the group size limit is implemented.
