Can we get a confirmation from a Jmod whether the dragon cluster tasks give us the slayer helmet boost within ED2. The way it currently stands the only dragon that reduces the cluster task killcount is Verak Lithe so obviously it works on him but none of the dragon mobs or other dragon bosses reduce the killount. It would be kind of cool doing a full dragon cluster task in ED2 but if it only works on verak it might be not be worth it.

Well thats what I thought too but its kind of strange how you dont get your killcount reduced for each dragon you kill. I have a 148kc dragon task at the moment which means I could technically do 148 solos the way it is right now.

Was kind of hopeing someone has done some testing to see if we get the damage boost, especially because tuska's wrath doesnt even work on these dragons.

If you're running with a team then chances are they're doing either more damage or you're not getting last hit.

I'll take a gander on Monday in regards to the slayer helm thing.

Echoing another comment, Ironmen seem to have specific issues relating to Elite Dungeons when it comes to Slayer. If, according to Monster Examine, Irons get the bonuses from the Slayer Helmet then I'm assuming it's also a bug that they don't get Slayer experience or tick down the task number? Because as it is they can essentially get permanent ED2 damage buffs (Edited from "tasks", hardly makes sense to call it a task if there's no experience gain) with a dragon cluster task if the above is true.

Interesting.
