And i completely and utterly despise this boss.
Its just unpuggable, 3 runs in a row died cause of this boss and people messing up somehow, either the elementals exploding, someone getting knocked off, healer not being able to cleanse the horribly designed afflix, or whatever the hell else.
I just dont know how at this point… is this boss too hard or something? cause it seems like hes the run ender in this dungeon, other 3 bosses are basically jokes in comparison, yes even the final one.
And 2 out of the 3 runs we were ahead of time as well, but then stuff happened and its over, the third one the party just gave up after 2 wipes.

can you post some logs so we can tell you more about it?

I dont really keep logs, but tbf, its not hard to noticed people getting thrown off the cliff or a massive explosion.
Besides i was the tank, so main thing i need to keep track off is where the breath is aiming, making it easier to see what others are doing, even saved someone who got dangerously close to one of the elementals, a second late and it wouldve exploted.
eh? Idk…out of all the M+ bosses this season, I wouldn’t say that one is particularly bad.
You always run the risk of people in pugs not knowing what they’re doing, especially on lower keys, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone knocked off. If you’re tanking, try to keep the boss away from the edges so that dps won’t be tempted to go over there in the first place.
i got knocked off. but it was +3 so they killed it w/o me 
I also saw a DK grip an add. he went “oh”.

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea where I should be positioning it amid the 100 tornadoes.

dragon you will do AS I COMMAND!
Group effort, not a healer only mechanic.
Not all classes can cleanse it reliably im afraid.
War straight up cant without a 3 min CD talent.
Yes, but the classes that can can cast it on more than themselves.
Every bit helps.

Eh. Even on my alts, it’s what ever. Not my favorite by any stretch, but I didn’t have the same reaction these forums did to it.
Group stacks in a corner of the room, say top left. Everyone gets knocked away from the / their adds. You move the boss to top right, everyone stacks after adds are handled. Everyone gets knocked away, now bottom right.
Rotate in a square.

Stand in a corner and face the dragons head into the wall. Wait for the knock back 3-5 seconds later is the breath. When that happens move the boss to a different corner (I always go counter clockwise but either way it works.) Repeat facing her into a wall.
Horrible audio but you can see it here:

Drahga isnt even the hardest boss in Grim Batol.
There’s actually a small crack in the wall where you can stand and you usually won’t have to deal with any mechanics whatsoever. Plus you get a good view of Xalataths dogs when she spawns in.
It’s very cool.

is the tank tanking the dragon on one side and not in the middle? I hear that helps
I feel ya. I’ve had quite a few wipes on that guy too.
As a DPS that fight is a lot easier when the dragon is not in the middle of the platform… and all the DPS really need to be on the ball with nuking those elementals / paying attention to where they spawn.
It’d be nice if the tornadoes were better outlined too – I have crappy eyes and those things always seem to sneak up on me.
Did they fix the cubby strat?
Tank stands in one place and never moves.
I did it like a day ago and it worked. 
I think they fixed the tank not getting hit by tornadoes but they do very little damage.
