Ed2 Dragonkin Laboratory — ED2 Ranged
Introduction
This is an advanced guide which assumes a strong underlying knowledge of all mechanics and information presented in ED2 Basic.

⬥ This guide assumes you're on a dragon cluster task
⬥ The sections between bosses can be loosely followed, but will still require you to improvise

Note: you can skip necromancy if you don't lose time since you'll still have decimation eofspec up for golems, which is a little faster.
