FTB Evolution

Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.

I am playing FTB Evolution on a server and earlier was called upon to kill an ender dragon someone had respawned and now couldnt kill. At the time i was in full Supremium armor with Prot 6 and unbreaking along with totems, a sharpness 7 supremium sword, a flight module active and a talismain that gave me a 200% health buff so I figured that while they, having been in diamond, were having a hard time I should have had a relatively easy time defeating it. I went in expecting a more difficult fight than the vanilla dragon fight but hey, I've got a sword that kills a wither in under 10 hits, any mob ive fought so far doesnt drain me past 3/4 health so it shouldn't be too bad. Instead what i'm met with is a near 30 minute slog fest of a fight with zero fun in it. The dragon now has some upgraded abilities as I found, summoning replacement crystals and blazes and calling in lightning storms. Nothing crazy, and things that would probably be fun if it werent for the fact that it has an attack that goes off with no telegraph or noise to let you know somethings coming and no chance to avoid it. An attack that drops me from 80+ hearts to 3 1/2 in one shot and turns the fight from something that might be an enjoyable challenge into a waiting game for healing or a grind fest to kill a boss that doesnt seem like it should be absolutely walking me. Add to that the fact that my kitted out sword, while not the strongest it could be, only does about 10 health per hit and now i have to play waiting simulator while it flies around and chunks my health at random.

I'd like to suggest either finding a better dragon fight mod (I have none to suggest off the top of my head) or rebalancing and tweaking the fight so that its actually an enjoyable fight without needing to go and grind for endgame gear. (although I feel that Supremium is already enough of a grind to get and it seemed useless.)

It sounds like that attack is overtuned. That said, I just rebattled the dragon (for the bee questline, where you have to use lousy armor), and I think you were underequipped. A few things that helped me:

  1. if you have the soul of minecraft (or probably just the obsidian, dragon, fire, and amethyst talismans), the dragon can barely hurt you. The resistance and more hearts genes probably helped, too.
  2. in this pack, the totem of undying is a curio. You can equip a belt relic and stuff your curio slots with them. Combine that with the slimy death gene or the talisman that resurrects you, and you should be able to take a lot of hits
  3. The highest tier of MA equipment is awakened supremium, and it gets a big damage boost with the right augments. You can further upgrade your stuff with a robust apotheotic setup. You'd already beaten the dragon once, so there was really nothing stopping you from going endgame (full protection 8+explosion protection 10).

Alternatively, you can nerf the dragon's health and disable it's lightningexplosions (probably what you were having trouble with) in dragonfight.json.
