Well the story goes like this. I read wiki, I go on mah first play-through on path of the Damned, I meet mr. Adra Dragon on party level 9-10, I cannot win, I have to cheese him with petrify trap. I don't want to play anymore cause mah **** party can't kill a dragon in fair fight. I hadn't any difficulties before the dragon.
My party setup was stupid, cause I went 2 paladins 2 chanters for some buff hoarding, but things like +3 DR, are useless on last difficulty. I want to restart but I don’t know how to face that dragon in fair fight.
My setup was:
2x Paladin (max Per, Int, Res) with shield and some random toothpick. Maxing out deflection and other defences.
2x Chanter ( max Might, Dex, Int ). 1 constant reload song, other frightened and + 10 def song. One Arbalest other Arquebuse (Marksman, Gunman, Weap. Foc. Soldier)
1x Priest ( max Might, Dex, Int ). Arbalest. (Marksman, Gunman, Weap. Foc. Soldier)
1x Ranger (max Might, Dex, Per). Arbalest (Marksman, Gunman, Weap. Foc. Soldier, Swift Aim+steady)
It was micro easy, unkillable Pallies and easy to focus fire death squad. I preferred ranger over extra dps rogue, because of animal companion, which helps to spread agro in places where there is no natural chokepoint, I preferred more versatile over more dps. My party has overall low con.

The mr. Adra Dragon. (It’s probably stats without difficulty bonuses, so he is lil more badass ingame)
Endurance 600
Rh 36-55 best Slash/Pierce
Lh 36-55 best Slash/Pierce
Deflection 133, Fortitude 136, Reflex 112, Will 116
DR 28
Slash 21, Burn 35, Freeze 21, Shock 42
He hits like a truck, crits a lot, wing aoe Insta-Kills everybody in my party. He is hard to hit, and the damage is awlays heavily reduced. I’m looking for tips how to face him like a man, sort of like mah kensai/mage bg2 superman.
Preferably:
-No noob_cheese_traps
-No pre fight summons, priest seals, buffs.
-Not using any potions/foods/scrolls during whole playtrough.
-No lame kiting
-lvl cca 10

I’m looking for party tips-discussion, I hadn’t had the best setup, but the game is super easy (except the Adra Dragon, ofc. I haven’t played beyond defiance bay much), so the party that could handle the dragon face to face is probably strong enough for everything else.
The only thing that comes to my mind is 5x Ranger, 1xChanter (for reload song). All ranged, and tanking with one Animal Companion at a time. But it probably wouldn’t be enough with his deflection and Endurance pool. I'm aware that there are some lvl 12 spells that if the roll was high could win this fight, but it's level 12 and save scum reliant.
