dracula

i need 7 assault wins to complete them all!

last night, we (rath, carth, tuly and guest stars and fellow assault junkies zaphod and ellie) beat count dracula in the leujoaom sanctum FL assault bloody rondo.


wow, this assault was tough. count dracula has a ton of hit points and he likes to drain. he spawns a doppelganger which is a super version of the player who has hate. lol...for us that meant an evil, super accurate NIN rath. he also can charm and turn people in aoe into bats. oh and he has a doom move too which carth really liked. you think carth and count dracula would be all buddy buddy being DRKs and all but they didn't seem too close to me.

our first attempt went ok. we had tulaq handle evil rath while the rest of us focused on count dracula. evil rath used stun katanas which was pretty sucky for tuly. we kinda lost in the last 10 minutes because multiple people got turned into bats. i got to kite count dracula for awhile which was fun. i wish my kiting stint could have been accompanied by baushaus's bela lugosi's dead but at least i had music thanks to the last update. (it does really make me feel more involved in the fights to have battle music)

second attempt, we had both ellie (BLM) and tuly focus on killing the doppelganger. and rath used a staff so evil rath would be a little more manageable. evil rath has way more staff skill than the real rath. we did kinda luck out on this run and had less batness. i think having more than bat man at a time is very difficult even tho you are able to bind the bats for a long time.

this was definitely one of my favorite fights in the game. thanks to rath, carth, tuly, ellie and zaph for the fun and win!
