'Not sure if I'm missing something on this - seems like it needed another attack.. '

Well yes, you forgot you have a ranged weapon ;)

One can still hit the heart crystal while CD reels on the ground, there's literally few positions it's hard, and few less when it's impossible.

Hint: it's heart-crystal is convex and has bigger hitbox tahn it appears.

The most important is that you need to perch at the right angle and be on the right side of the dragon when you knock it down (I probaly mentioned once, dragons always fall on the same side).

Also: if CD is too far, send something heavy to his face as it gets up and it'll run to you position ;)

As for CD attacks vs climbers, it has very effective shake off, but only on ground. And let's not forget about faulty climbing mechanics: you will lose track of your position and even get displaced when it tail sweeps. Your only hope is to gain few seconds of distarction. I do it like this (and I repeat myself after my blog post):

- grab any part of CD and release as it'll start shake off

- run for the heart and start hacking it till it reels

eventually

- bait grab attack

- obvioulsy evade and then climb heart and start hacking it. Eventuallu dragon will do a tail sweep or annoyed roar, making your job piece a cake. If it'll shake off, just let go and try again.

Naturally Torpor helps a lot. Oh, and you could check the newest finding

PS I do the sniping work with Dire/Deathly Arrow. Fracture Dart works too but it's advised for use on the ground level due to accuracy issues.
