hey guys i just need some tips in fighting the shadow dragon, here is how i've battled him so far...
Well i tried melee at first, but the dragon seems to have an infinite amount of protection from magical weapons on him, so i tried to kill him with magic which i managed to get him down to near death but couldn't manage enough magic damage to finish him off before he heals himself. So i would like to know if the dragon does have infinite amount of protection from magical weapons. |

Hi Kerkes, glad to see you back! I've been away for a while as well, but not as long as you.
Mage-heavy parties can be good against most dragons, but I can think of 2 dragons off the top of my head where mages would likely get you nowhere. SPOILER! Dracolich and the Ancient Dragon.

Nice discussion about dragons, guys!
QUOTE(Kerkes @ Sep 30 2008, 05:31 PM)  All dragons will be improved in IA6, I think. Yes, I have a few surpirses for you regarding dragons in IA v6.

Dracolich and the Ancient Dragon. SPOILER! The battle with the Ancient Dragon is a nightmare in IA v6 (much harder than v5). Nonetheless, I still think that it is, in principle, possible to defeat him with an arcane-heavy party (mostly consisting of pure single-class mages) with the right tactics (though I agree that it will be a very difficult thing to do).  I don't want to spoil the new dragon-battles of IA v6 here in a public post, but if any of you happen to join the testing team (as I know that LZJ intends to), we will discuss those battles in more details in the testing forum/workroom.-------------------- Improved Anvil
