Alunova,

I know you previously set up Dain to path straight down the well, but I'm not sure if this is a correct implementation of Dain's pathing. It looks like that particular path may have been a 2003 update.

When I created the path file I also made a specific path down the well so this would be possible, but it still needs to be tested.

None of the pulling guides talk about a straight down the well pull. Each of them discusses getting him to the bridge out in front of the castle over the ice and getting him to warp down.

The problem with Dain is that he banishes people to the bottom of the
well. So if you fought him in the throne room, you'd eventually run out
of melee to kill him. So the standard practice is to fight Dain down
below so that when melee get banished, they can run back and join the
fight.

How Dain is normally pulled (in simplified form) is to have a Monk
aggro him and then jump down the well. Dain freaks out and makes it out
to the front. Monk is under the ice and Dain warps down through the ice
onto Monk, Monk runs Dain to Raid.

Tactic 2:

1. Make a group with a mage/cleric/fd pullers.(one SK is good)

2. Have raid wait down in well.

3. Pullers, get aggro from Dain and pull him outside onto the bridge. After some practice it's easy enough to get him there. You need a good amount of aggro to get dain off of the bridge and onto the ice...this is where the SK comes in. Once he is on ice have a paladin use a stun from down in the well (yes,you can hit him from under the ice).

4. All pullers FD once dain is stunned. He will warp down into the well where the raid is waiting.

5. Mage who was CoHing at zone entrance (in case a monk gets banished) runs into well and CoH's all the pullers down so they can join in the fun.

6. Kill dain (may have an add or 2...if you cant handle a guard as an add you probably shouldnt be doing dain anyways)

7. Loot up.

It seems that his pathing was updated in 2003 to go straight down the well.

New pathing Dain pulls
Currently farming Dain, killed post patch and here's the scoop -



No more warp from the ice pull!



Guards and Dain followed me down the well to the pit, easiest pull ever on this guy. Here's what I did, worked great:



1. Pull a couple guards at a time with a shuriken tag, jump down well, get on land and sit, several (2-3) will drop on you, then FD. Have paladin's tank guards if Sene or Chamberlain comes, otherwise kill all. Don't single guards they repop too fast.



2. Once you clear all but Dain (if he comes early just FD he'll go home with all guards, tell your tagger to hold for tag on all pulls just in case), coh a warrior up with you to the bridge out front. Have mage invis you both, run up to throne room. Send in warrior to attack and take banish, then range hit Dain, jump down well, kill.



I like pathing change ).

hahha confirmed me and a monk guildie were pulling him. dain jumped down with 12 guards and killed my guildie. however we had a couple of "exploring" guildmates the brought dain and his army to the camp. nice fun all out war we had.
