The currect fighting strategy of the ender dragon is pathetic, espicially considering he suppose to be the ending boss of minecraft.
All he ever does is flying towards you and damaging you by crashing into you, and he cancels his attack whenever you hit him.
My suggestion is to give the ender dragon another attack, a ranged one. my suggestion is that the ender dragon will start using this attack once his hp is below 50%. the attack will be "Ender Beam"
After his hp is below 50%, once in a while, the ender dragon will stop in mid air, and will start to charge a black ball with ender particle effects. a charging sound can be heard.
The beam will be charged for 5 seconds, which after that he will fire a black beam towards you with a deadly accuracy. the beam can penetrate almost every block in the game, however, it cannot penetrate obsidian.
The player will have to hide behind an obsidian pillar or obsidian he placed by himself to save himself from the deadly ender beam. the high accuracy of the beam makes it impossible to avoid it by any other means - so stay close to obsidian when fighting this dragon!
If the beam hits the player, it will do a devestating 22 hearts of damage to an unarmored player. can be survived only with a really good armor.
I mean, thats just my idea of a ranged attack an ender dragon can have in order to make the fight more interesting, instead of just having the pathetic crashing attack. I belive most of you will agree that the ender dragon should have some sort of a ranged attack

The ender dragon was added years ago if they wanted to give it a ranged attack they probably would have by now. If you want to fight a boas with a ranged attack go spawn a wither or Elder Guardian. The ender dragons "thing" is the obsidian pillars with the EnderCrrystals on them.
the xbox and playstation 3 edition basically have a totally different ender dragon fight style
there is an unfinished bedrock portal in the center of the end
the dragon will fly around, but he wont ram into you
instead, he will occasionally fire a purple explosive fire charge at you
other times he will dive and breathe ender acid on you
after a while he will hover over the unfinished portal and breath ender acid everywhere
is something like that what you getting at? (ender charge and ender acid)?
also, would the ender beam be explosive or normal so would blast protection or protection be better against it?

Well i play the PC version
No, the ender beam will be diffrent. it will be a lazer with 100% accuracy, and the only way to avoid it is hiding behind obsidian. not explosive damage.

I hate this kind of logic. so what if it was added long time ago? it doesnt mean it doesnt need a change.
Also, Elder Gaurdian is not a boss and fighting against the wither is a joke with the current overpowered potions
*I like the idea although i don’t think the attack should be so deadly. I also think that diamond blocks should also be protective and should, when hit with the ender beam, repel the the attack right back at the ender dragon, paralyzing it for 7 seconds. Lastly, i think that the ender dragon should only use this attack when its health is at 35% or lower.

but what im asking is if protection would protect against it? also, 22 hearts is a bit OP , the only thing that does more damage is a creeper which will take you down to 2 hearts on hard mode at point blank range in diamond armor .
i personally wouldnt want your beams, id rather have the console attacks on pc . yes it needs a ranged attack, no it does not need an OP ranged attack. thats what the wither does with its wither effect + explosive skulls
also would the damage scale with difficulty? like 22 on hard , 18 on normal , 9 on easy and 3 on peaceful ?

then dont fight it with potions . no one is forcing you to even make a brewing stand, you can get eyes of ender and blaze powder without fire resistance .
think its easy?
hard mode
low render distance
dont use a bow
no potions
/gamerule natural regeneraton false
also i never considered the ender dragon the final boss, i consider the wither that

Normal protection works against it, not blast protection.
22 hearts is not op because its a boss and it suppose to be deadly

It suppose to be deadly because its a boss.... and with diamond armor you can still tank it and heal back.
I really dislike your diamond blocks idea, i think it doesnt make any sense and is just silly imo, no offense

so if its suppsoed to be deadly, why dont we make the ender dragon poop tnt and breathe fire and summon a second dragon and hit you with its tail dealing 1000 hearts of damage per hit and smoke fill the end? (sarcasm) no...22 is still OP. i suggest 10 on hard 8 on normal 6 on easy 3 opeaceful
also , for a little realsim here, 22 hearts ..in diamond armor it will 2 hit kill you (diamond armor blocks about 17 hearts of damage) in iron it will deal 7 hearts of damage to you
and in leather it will 1 hit kill you

I think you missed the point. . . My "logic" isn't that old things don't need to change. It's that in the time between now and when the dragon was added no one including the developers thought that this should be a thing (and if they have than this thread is breaking rules). Anyways that's just my opinion and the end wasn't even supposed to be added in the first place.

Dude, he will only do it once in a while. with the tickling damage you suggest, this attack will be a weak joke. the players will have no motivation to actually bother dodging it when they use diamond armor.
It SUPPOSE to kill a player with diamond player in 2 hits because the ender dragon only does it occasioally. the player will have alot of time to heal after that beam.
Why the butts would we need a ranged attack like that, on ANYTHING? The ender dragon, if any improvements are needed, needs to deal more melee damage, and be just a LITTLE bit faster, with the same amount of health. And imagine a dragon firing a lazor. It's stupid, it sounds stupid, and it looks highly unrealistic. Mojang has to draw a line somewhere, you know. If it should happen to get a secondary ability, maybe the ender acid is good, or even better, the ability to teleport like endermen. But even then I'm very skeptical.

Bottom line, no support.
it makes perfect sense to me that a DRAGON will have a ranged attack, and a dark lazer beam fits perfectly to the look and feel of the ender dragon imo

no, the consoles ender acid is more dragon like and fits with the ender dragons look. must i show you a screenshot/picture?

i thought it couldnt be dodged

Animes I've Watched/am watching - Sword art online , Fairy Tale , FMA Brotherhood, InuYasha
so whats more dragon like, an actual ender acid breathe attack (attachment 1)
or some weird laser (attachment 2)
unless this is the fairy tail anime and the ender dragon is the black dragon zeref summoned , which its not, , option 1 is more realistic
it makes perfect sense to me that a DRAGON will have a ranged attack, and a dark lazer beam fits perfectly to the look and feel of the ender dragon imo
Yes to the first part, no to the second. Lazer beams. On a dragon. What are we, five?
Too OP. Cannot be dodged unless behind obby. Scarce towers, spaced out. Difficult to get to them in time. As soon as you get hit physically, you 1-hit K.O. so no please, thank you, and come again tommorow.
