Strategy[]
- TURN OFF NPC SAY AND NARRATIVE SAY!!
- Fight Drago in the middle of the arena.
- He has a frontal AE that does slashing and divine damage.
- He casts a blue bubble that you need to be inside of before it bursts. You have maybe 3 seconds to get in there. When the bubble bursts, those on the outside will get hit pretty hard and knocked back. Interrupting him does not appear to stop him from casting this.
- Don't AoE the fans as they will swarm you.
- At 75%,50% and 25% health Drago will Feign Death the entire group (zonewide) and run to the crowds cheering. This gives him a beneficial buff. The Feign Death is scripted and cannot be stopped by interrupts, stuns, etc.. He will also Feign Death the group and run to the crowd if ANYTHING dies during the fight (pets, dumbfire pets, etc.). He will run to the crowd on one side, then to the crowd on the other side, and then you will be able to stand. He will usually cast his 'blue bubble' just after cheering to the second crowd. Be sure to run to the bubble then pull him back to the center to avoid AoEs hitting the crowd.
- The fans can be killed, but re-spawn quickly so there isn't much point in it.
- He will leash if you run out of the door.
- Bug: Sometimes you will end up permanently 'Feign Death'ed on the floor – you can move around as a corpse, but you can't cast on Drago. Evacuating won't fix this. Having everyone zone out and back in will fix the condition.
- Spamming /cheer and /flex during the fight can steal Drago's buffs and give them to your own group. (*Edit: You can gain the same buffs that Drago gets by sending someone in your group to /cheer and /flex at the crowd. That person(s) has to be standing on the platform in front of each crowd, but still needs to run inside the bubble when Drago casts it to avoid the additional damage/knockback. The buffs last for approximately 30 seconds and will affect all members in the group. The buffs give substantial increases to stats and crits. While it would be possible for high-end players with great gear to kill him without the buffs, the buffs make it much easier to succeed on this encounter.
- Once Drago is dead and if you're feeling particularly brave and unstoppable, stand on the platform, target the crowd, and do /rude. The crowd will attack the player who performed the emote.
