Supply Interruption  

Lots of useful tips here, thanks. I was finally able to do succeed with. Here is what I learned:
- Any class can do this at 95. I am a rogue but in the end I pulled this off without using any class skill at all.
- All you need to kite is run speed 5. I have no snare, stun, root, whatever, or special speed enhancement for myself.
- Bring less. I don't think any additional player will make this easier.
- Park your healer merc further down the ramp (set yourself as puller). Do not let if follow you during the kiting, it will only get killed.
- If necessary run to your healer merc while the last mob of a wave is killed by the dragorns. Let is heal you and run back up.
- Place the Dragorn rallying flags at the location update point from step 1. Place them very close to each other, they are far more powerful as a group of 8 than as two groups of 4.
- Grab every waves attention when they spawn and kite them in big circles around the dragorns.
- Win.

When I first tried this, I misunderstood where the waves would spawn and screwed up horribly. I removed the quest and watched as the waves spawned anyways, and just basically sat there at the gates in a rather tight formation. Here is my question:

<<Is it possible to win by just killing all of those mobs, without any regards to the dragorn helpers you spawn?>>

I understand they make things much easier, but I couldn't help wondering, while watching those mobs spawn and sit at the gate, whether I couldn't just take the time to pull them (a tedious task, no doubt) to group until I was done with them all. In particular, is their a time limit?

90 pal and 92 nec completed this today. We set the flags up to the left side of the doors (when you are looking at them). Mobs spawned after a few seconds. When I (paladin) saw that I had agro on a few mobs I started to run down the hill and kite them around. Some mobs were still at the door . When I got close enough they agroed me and I ran what looked like 10 mobs around and down the hill. Neco had to FD when mobs spawned so I got agro, once I got full agro he pulled from the train of mobs following me. Dragons had a hard time "summoning" the mobs like the guide said they would so necro pulled and FD. Used horse for speed and was no problem. Had enough time to turn around and check to see what all was following me.

Dragons have a lot of dps and were more powerful than expected. Necro pulled up to 3 to the dragons.

Was able to duo this with 87 ranger with healer merc
When you get to the gate kill the kyv at the top before you place the flags.After, I put both the flags on the left side (facing the gate)and really close together. Then I ran down the hill a decent distance from the gate where the mobs spawn and chase you.I then used Spell:Vinelash Cascade Rk.II level 73 ranger and druid spell to keep the mobs ae rooted and me safe from harm.The dragons then proceeded to summon the mobs 1 by 1 killing them off very quickly. I also used Spell:Flusterbolt lvl 85 ranger spell to push mobs that roots broke and were too far from the dragon's agro range. Namer in the last spawn was not rootable so I used the ranger epic to slow him and finished him off while spaming vinelash to the other mobs.The dragons finished off trash for an easy win. Safety note: 1.)make sure the flags are put to the left of the gate, the right has a drop off and may make mobs path randomly. 2.)The other reason you do this is because you want to face the right, as to not agro the dragons with ae root. 3.)Try not to cast big agroing spells, I'm not quite sure which mobs summon So get you a ae root class with similar spell and back up for the namer and should be ok. Hope this helps, I was able to finsih in about 10 from start to finsih.

Thank you Kyer for your post - I thought I would add a bit more

Strategy for this task can be tricky and everyone in the group should be made aware of the strategy before beginning. The only person that MUST have a new quest for this task is the kiter - everyone else in the group can be using an old / failed quest if they wish.

Kill the static mob outside of the gates on the hill just prior to planting of the flag.

Buff up your puller as much as possible.

Good idea to have HOTs on your puller.

Your kiter needs to be able to take some hits - being a plate class is almost a must

Your task activator must be your kiter - the one that plant’s the second flag

THE KITER CANNOT DIE - THE KITER CANNOT DIE - THE KITER CANNOT DIE

oh did I say the kiter cannot die?

The named mob does NOT have to be killed last

Plant the flags off center so when the waves of mobs rush the kiter (task activator) they do not run over the dragorns and wipe them in the first 15 seconds.

Feel free to give the dragorns a rest if they are not summoning mobs off the kiter if that is an option. They will heal or regenerate themselves.

The second the 2nd flag is dropped by the kiter - Remove the kiter from the group immediately. Everyone will have the updates for planting of the flags so in order to avoid agro - you toss them out of the group and wish them luck. Have a healer keep an eye on the puller. You will also want to have a spotter. The duties of the spotter is to let the kiter know when to come close (but not run over) the double plated flags. The dragorns will summon 1 or 2 mobs at a time and do all the work for you. Occasionally if you think there is a need to help engage, but DO NOT use AE spells or strikes, that would be bad. Be careful who you have on target if you are going to assist the dragorns.

Once you realize you have it beaten, invite the kiter back into the group BEFORE the last mob is dead. The kiter is the one that all updates are based on, if you fail to invite him back into the group - only the kiter will get the update. Oops.

Kiting is not a science, it an art. A wrong nudge, or turn or stutter or lag spike and this mission can go from smooth to failure in seconds. Just have the kiter drop the task and have it re-issued.

That hill in the area is long and mobless for a reason - the kiter should use it. Completing this quest using voice communications is probably the best option. Best of luck and hopefully you complete it in the first attempt.

The group make up did not seem to matter much other than our kiter who had the SK Abyssal Stead. Our experiences told us that if we got past the 1st wave of mobs we would complete it, the SK activated their level 50 harm shield that protected them for 18 seconds allowing them a suitable amount of time to get into the grove of the kite path.

Task Myth #1, "Commander Vthallyx" Has to die last to get the task win. Not true-, On the final wave he actually died 1st.

If the person doing the kiting dies. Everyone leave task and get a new one. The Flag planter cannot die.

If your not a Bard and using Selos have a Person with a fast Mount do the kiting. The Kyv's are fast.

Bring some healing Pots, I brought 5 but only used 3 while kiting. Mobs warping~ Hit here and there etc etc.

Have everyone in grp who needs the task to request it from Noble Ramel. Hes by the CoD zone in OBF.

Have everyone run up to the gates and get the First update. Also while there have everyone kill the One mob on the plateau. It is a " Kyv"~ This will help when kiting the task pops and gives your Dragorns one less mob to kill.

Have everyone in group run back to Noble Ramel and wait. Reason for this? The task pops have an long aggro range. I actually placed the grp near Emlyxi at the base of the hill. The task mobs ran down the hill at times to get to the group. Serious pita when kiting.

Once everyone is back at Noble~ Plant your flags as far away from the gate as you can and close to each other.

15 Seconds later your mobs will spawn. Stand behind the Dragorns but slightly to the side. The mobs will come to you but as they pass the Dragorns they will summon afew and kill them. Kite the rest and bring a couple near the Dragorns till they kill off the wave. As a Bard i would mezz some while kiting and Bring them to the Dragorns when they were rdy.

Do this for the next few waves till you win =) I had 5 Dragorns left doing it like this.

Your grp will get all the updates and since they are already at the Noble~ Everyone does their Hail ftw~. Run back and get yours

Good luck.

Get the loc update and plant banners as stated a bit out from the gate. Be on your mount and behind the dragons. Once the first wave pops, just kite em around unsnared in vicinity of the dragorns. Watch when getting near the gate though for the ikkav casters and next wave pops. On the 3rd wave, the dragorns will kill the namer but he will take most of them down also. Once all the dragorns were dead, so was the named and all the mobs except 1 ukun. Luckily, wasn't a summoning mob so killed that and hailed ftw.

This task is duoable.

I almost solo'd it as an 85 warrior with my merc on passive, except for one heal between waves on reactive.

This task would be soloable if the darned dragorns didn't aggro the named before it took care of the rest of them. I came up 1 mob short and 1% of the named short.

Strat on this is:

Plant both banners, one on top of each other, just in front of entrance.

Stand behind the dragorns regiments, so that the waves have to pass through the dragorns to get to you.

When mobs spawn, the dragorns will pick off the mobs that they can handle, one to 3 at a time. Kite around in a circle, passing within aggro range each lap of the dragorns. When their mobs die, they will summon next set as the mobs near.

On 3rd wave, have someone else pull away the named, commander vitrik (sp?), and kite away from dragorns. Take care of this wave same as previous waves until commander only is left.

Pull in Vitrik and either 1.) Help tank with your merc, so he doesn't eat through dragorns so fast, or 2.) caster-dps from a distance and help dragorns kill him.

end of task.

sorry )) re wrote it more clearer.
