Guild Wars 2

They take too long to kill, deal too much damage, and there is no way to avoid being instagib’d by corruption stacks since it stacks regardless of what you do.

Lower their health, change it so corruption only stacks while in Grenth’s domain, and get rid of those vortexes double dipping.

Never yell “need more for Grenth” but instead, yell “need more for shades.”

Shades’ levels scale with the number of participants, so they can range from 80 to 84. Indeed, the HP of a lvl 84 is too much for a single player to handle.

Corruption aura only affects players withing 600 units of range while in line-of-sight. To slow down the stacking, split shades up and use pillars or corners to block their line of sights, or simply just use ranged attacks.

Corruption has a duration of 60 sec and shades cannot go past the waypoint. So, run to the entrance tunnel and stay there for at most 60 sec, and then all stacks will be gone.

A player loses all stacks of corruption when downed. To deliberately drop all stacks, drag shades past the waypoint when he/she is about to reach 25 stacks. Since shades can’t go past the waypoint, just bandage to get back up.

Of course, don’t try any of the above if the priest is onto you. If you hide behind a pillar or try to get to the waypoint with the priest on you, Jonez will eat ice for sure.
