Guild Wars 2

Great job ruining a fun thing.. now it is just too hard.. and no fun!

How’s it too hard?

6 consecutive times done with 35 in green, 41 in blue and 38 players in red more or less.

We are not even getting a full server participation and it’s a really a casual random server where we are… yet we are winning, it’s quite easy.

I’m just going to throw in at, our sever was able to muster about 30 for each and it stunk. We couldn’t even hit 50% on any of the knights.

The knights are not hard if your zone is coordinated. Make sure that everyone has the correct color circle buff for the mob that they are fighting. No buff means no damage to mob. Make sure that when the large orange circle disappears, everyone evades or else they will be pulled in to the Knight. The group on blue needs to grab the menders prior to them getting close to the Blue Knight or they will heal it. All knight have a buff on them that reflects conditions. Stay away from conditions until that buff wears off.

If your zone is cooperating, they should be calling out on map how many spaces available at each Knight and how much life is left so if one knight needs more players, they can switch among them. I was in about 6 events today and the only time that we missed it was when Blue healed itself due to the menders reaching the Knight. It can be done with some cooperation. Good luck!

Scarlet is a different tactic all together. I saw only a few changed with her since the 3-7 patch.

its actually easy, but time consuming at the same time. almost killed her with a large zerg.. but i crashed.

I love it personal. Oh sure its challenging but that is how a final boss is meant to be. She presents a challenge to us. she can cripple our HP with ease but that is provided you aren’t paying attention. We now have telegraphs that are short of slapping you across the face and screaming “SOMETHINGS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, PAY ATTENTION!” so you have very little excuse for standing there in the hit box now.

It’s bullkitten. It isn’t even challenging due to boss fight mechanics, it’s only challenging due to laggs and zerging around. Most of the time it fails due to stupid people not having buffs, stacking only at red and not being able to dodge. Absolutly unenjoyable, something like this must always be put into an instance.

I apprecieate your advice, all things we practice and were aware of before starting the fight. But either because we don’t have the gear or maybe we actually just stink at doing damage, we can’t get them down. The only way to know for certain is some kind of gear check, which is impractical in this game.

When you don’t have proper raids with raid warnings and controlled player pool, the tool you have is swarming, which has been taken away.

Except she’s not the final boss. The attacks you are talking about don’t actually make a big difference. Its the unmarked attacks that rapidly knockdown in an aoe around the knights that are important. People just care about slam and vacuum because of the achievement. The slam and vacuum are also the one truly interesting thing about the fight.

The rest is just 15 minutes of “ok don’t use anything but autoattack, ok now use your normal rotation, ok back to only autoattacking.”
