2003 post, but still details that they weren't leashed at some point

"We cleared Eashen's room, then paci'd the 2 drakes by the steps, pulled him donw by eashens room, had casters hide inside. Tried slamming him into a wall first time... he just poped thru it and cme back with friends. Have to realy balance push to keep him from going into walls. "

The 2 drakes at the bottom of the stairs are not the guards in question, they are normal NToV trash drakes

[Colgate]

right now on p99, every north wing dragon except eashen/ikatiar is leashed to vulak.. he doesn't just "call" them to his lair

pretty sure in classic he would call the lords/ladies to his lair, they would leave, and the script wouldn't work again for some amount of time, maybe 30 minutes?

right now for as long as vulak is aggro'd or not in his lair, every other dragon will stack on top of him

that post alone should be convincing enough to get rid of the current vulak call script and retune it to be possible to pull him without killing every other dragon

Aaryonar is the hard shell of NToV that ya gotta crack to get at the soft meat... and he is a pain. He has 2 guards, but can occasionally be singled (65 puller), do not remember much about them, other than they dropped fairly fast.

any lvl 65 reference isn't classic as NToV was changed a lot when luclin and pop came out

NOTE: 2001 NSFW RAGE POST HERE



Think it stands to reason if someone could get Vulak split off from Lord Vyemm during actual classic (not 2002 lazie classic), they could probably get him away from his guards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They clearly state they kited vymme while killing vulak.... it doesn't mention his guards at all...

[Colgate]

where in that post does it say vyemm was kited?

Actually, from the above link I posted, this was kinda interesting:

Sorry for the posting this so late, but I have been so busy working on a customers web site. Anyway, we kill these guys last night, I wasn't on for Klandicar or Zladnicar, and I just got on in time for the other North ToV dragons.

The server connection problems didn't help matters as most peeps would go LD every 15mins.. eventually we had 35 peeps that had stable connections.. so we pulled Sevalak, he dropped, then we pulled Cekenar 3mins later. We did make an attempt on Aaryonar, I believe we got him to 60% or 65% without slowing him, we had some problems from the beginning, overall it was a ok attempt, just need to fix some things.. Slow would make a big difference to.

Thanks to the DoA members that stuck around for the drake rares, and the guards, grats to everyone on loot, and to Kindeano.. the one night wonder. I didnt get all the SS of the loot, and I might be missing a few..

On live vulak had an internal CD on his call of dragons ability to bring in his friends. All you did was kite the other dragons after he did the call, reset the fight and he wouldn't do another call for a set period of time, effectively splitting the dragons. But the post also doesn't state anything about the guards which could have been split and killed prior to engaging and killing vulak.

Here's a decent thread from 2002 of people talking about how Aary's guards are now linked to him

http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10941

Just wondering if you have killed Aaroy recently, because I THINK his pets
ALWAYS come with him together now. Our monk puller is stupid good,
but we don't even waste our time trying to separate them any more.

Starting to think like Colgate; don't think any of the guards should be linked to any dragons!

Linked guards probably came around when they decided to dildo up the zone with roaming flurries

I could see the drakes becoming no longer linked after they rooted a lot of the dragons in ntov. Not before though

"We fight Aary in the long hall right before the ramp down the hatchlings. We put the clerics on the railing behind the wall and you can ch the MT who should be positioning Aary's head right at the corner. If you are getting his 2 guards with him then what we do is kill the pets first while the ch chain keeps the MT alive. Our monk has gotten good enough to pull his pets to the zone in room so we dont have to fight him and his pets together anymore though. Make sure you kill all the babies at approximately the same time since having these respawn during the fight can mean a loss. Also make sure you have timed killing the two normal drakes near the stairs to NToV so you dont get respawn of them either. Aary is a tough fight as dragons in NToV go so keep your chins up."

"Looking back at the fight and talking over things with the guild on our messageboard, I think I see where we went wrong. The fake manadrain AOE killed us. By the time we knew that we could insta click the mana back, we had lost our main tank and a number of others. Through our CH rotation out the window and no one was able to stay up long enough.
What we did was pull Aary and his pets down the hall to the bottom of his ramp and to the door that leads to Ikky and Eashan's(sp?) rooms. Our clerics hid in a room and we healed from there while we did our best to try and wax at least one of the pets. The casters stayed near the door and were supposed to open it and go through when the AE macro was hit. In the end, we got one pet down to about 30 or 40 percent but the problem was all of the early deaths.
Also one other question, what is a good number of Clerics/people for the fight? Looking for realistic numbers here. For the most part, we're in full (or near full) Skyshrine Armor with about a quarter or a third of our melee Primal equipped.
Thanks a ton."

"We assign one group to hatchling duty, and 1 group each to his two guards the rest go to the main fight. AAry is kept in the hallway before his pit, the guards are brought around the corner to where the clerics are. "

are all posts in that thread which lead one to believe his "pets" also known as guards were leashed to him

[khanable]

Yep, became linked about a month before that thread, in feb/march 2002
