Guild Wars 2

When I first saw this event in the beta i had just run up to it and saw the waves of people that were downed at the entry to the large room. Of course I tried rezzing people in the entry until I got hit by the elementals attack-way beyond the range I thought it should have since i was just outside the room. I immediately died because it stunned me, burned me, and brought me to a downed state-to which other attacks then targeted and finished me off. Well, I just did this event again a month after release with 2 other people. In 10 seconds, the boss summoned a dozen elementals and dropped about 50 red circles of death. My character ran out of endurance halfway to the entrance to the room and I was dead about 5 seconds later. So in 15 seconds, everyone was dead and I just wondered to myself, are the devs trying to create an impossible DE? This is absurd-especially since the chain that led up to this was reasonable enough for one or two people to finish.

its not impossible,just needs a LOT of people to do

The Embers spamming lava fonts all over the place are really overkill.

Doesn’t help that the fire elemental AoE spots are bigger then displayed

I did this DE like a week or two ago with my main character, a Guardian, being maybe level 25-28. At first I flipped out at the deaths and high DPS it dealt to players staying far away from it. But after that I simlpy ran to the fire elemental itself and started doing melee attacks with the greatsword I had equipped and summonning an espectral sword and hammer. I don’t want to exaggerate, but I’m pretty sure I halved -at least- its HP, being killed maybe 3 or 4 times. And, by the way, survived much more time than people staying near the bridge where it does ranged attacks.
So, with some melee warriors and guardians, it has to be pretty easy to get rid of it, because it really has a very very low HP for its (huge) size.
