Guild Wars 2

After today’s hotfix you can’t dodge scarlet’s stomp….. so is it not possible? or is there still a way to do it?

I had dodge stomped twice before today, and both of my Scarlet attempts today were really hard to stomp. Like, I was in there 15 minutes getting knocked back by her shield today. Not sure what changed, but it seems like it’s harder.

Same here. I had no difficulty earlier but was trying to do it last night and her shield would only ever drop for about one second, well less than needed for a Stomp, and then go back up again.

Use stability?

Zomaarwat.3912:

Use stability?

Her knockback now removes Stability.

She can be difficult since stability doesn’t work. Professions with invulnerability don’t have problems though with stomping. With engi I just threw my Elixir S (stealth) walked up and used Elixir U + Elixir S for a quick and painless stomp. Ele with misform can do it as well.

they took away stability; so i tried a diffrent tactic

• make sure you have at least some movement speed increase 25% did it for me
• use stealth right after you enter the area with scarlet, so before se starts throwing grenades
• use quickness right before you start finisher
• DIE DIE DIE scarlet!

tried this tactic 2 times i succeeded on the second go

You mean to the “nowhere to hide” achievement?
It’s impossible on a warrior :| Even with frenzy bc she stuns you.
Dulfy says to do it in an order. That’s if she doesn’t stun you as you approach her, then knock you back- nothing can block that stun she does.

People really need to stop saying to use invis when that was one of the first things they fixed in this living story patch.

He’s talking about invulnerability not invisibility (stealth).
It does work, i’ve seen 3 engis do it with elixir S.

This is a really easy achievement for:
- engis: elixir S (+U for quickness, if you want to be sure)
- eles: mist form
- mesmers: not tried but i think using mirror images and decoy before you begin the stomp should give you enough time on the distortion for a clean stomp.
- thieves: just steal, press f, shadowstep away, shadowstep back.

The other classes might be a bit more challenging.
I did it on my guardian though at my second attempt. Watch dulfy’s video for tips on the timing.

3 clones + F4 immediately after you start the stomp will get this achievement done for you with ease.

Invulnerability doesn’t work for me. She still knocks me around like a ping pong ball despite invulnerability and stability.

DaShi.1368:

Same. Tried a LOT to get this through mist form, just a whole lot of frustration. Please up date this area with post patch info as pre patch info is worthless.

Done! G/S Warrior/ Frenzy.

Use whirlwind attack as you pass the bend to scarlet and at a slight angle to her. This avoids the AOE line that she sends at you. Aim to stand at the *sharp corner* of scarlett *not* directly over her, as you will get stunned. Hit frenzy and F(also traited for 25% movement speed) Worked second time for me Hope this helps someone out there.

Many thanks to the contributes on this section and others, as well as Dulfy.

On mesmer start stomping use skill 2 on staff to port back and then blink back to scarlet just before the animation finishes. Havn’t tried it after the recent patch but that’s how i did it first time around.

I read this thread earlier today and was wondering what everyone was talking about because I had already done the instance twice yesterday and all I had to do was leisurely walk up to Scarlet and press F.

I just did the instance again 5 mins ago on my staff elementalist… wow that was annoying. I kept getting pushed back over and over and over again, to the point where I considered giving up. But I finally managed it by getting as close to Scarlet as I could, evading the shield with a well-timed dodge, then hit F to finish Scarlet off. No special skills required

Did it prepatch with guardian. Teleport to her, autoblock her stun, done. If it doesnt work any more, I’m sorry.

They aren’t talking about ending her in general, they’re talking about the achieve to do it before her shield goes up. I’m going to try the thief method outlined above next time I go for this. Got my meta regardless so I’m not pressed about getting Stomp and In Tune other than for fun.

Exosferatu.2961:

Hi, everyone. You can dodge into Scarlet’s bubble while Kasmeer Meade is taunting her and finisher her off. Scarlet will drop her force field.

Thats NOT the achieve people are talking about. Read the thread.

lightning flash, F, earth-focus 5 on ele worked flawlessly pre patch, if you want to give it a try, don’t know if it still works though.
