Let's hope they nerf the proto dragons or buff the effect of the spear. The allegedly weakened proto-dragons keep killing my evoker (in beta). Granted the character is undergeared and not being played optimally, but that's likely to be the case with most of the evokers attempting this quest. I'm sure I could do it on my M+ geared main, but soloing this with my noob evoker is nigh impossible. Got one down with some luck, another with the aid of another player who happened by, but it's late at night and I'm going to have to wait until more people are around to get the third one.

Holy crap this is insane. I have like 80k hp (from dungeon gear) and I'm getting obliterated. Even as an evoker (devesatation) and the spear damage I'm getting trounced, or I get knocked into other enemies from the buffeting effect and get rofltomped. This needs to be nerfed or something, make the spears do more or make them non-elites.

Edit: After killing Klozic the Ascended in the middle of the area the spears semed to do about 80k in damage. I don't know if it's a bug or some sort of requirement, but hooboy what a nightmare to kill the dragons, but I did.

Description

These proto-dragons detest us. They believe we are a twisted version of dragonkind that is manipulated and chained by the Titans. They do not understand. Which is why they feel safe even as they throw their forces at our walls. They are mistaken. Take this spear, {name}. Kill our enemies.
