Guild Wars 2

My problems:

• pretty much all guardian attacks are aoe-ish – even spamming 1 on hammer hits three targets;
• the oozes just keep on balling up, even if i manage to get Subject 7 into a spot with no small ones with hammer 4;
• retaliation kills the small oozes;
• the only purely one-target skill for some dps is scepter 1, but it’s not enough.

Stuff i’ve tried:

• knocking everything back with shield 5;
• hammer 4 on the big one, then dps with hammer and gs;
• gs 5 on the small ones, drag them away.

Stuff i haven’t tried yet ankitten ot sure if they’re viable (feedback!):

• sword/shield + hammer combo, for two knockback skills, microing sword 1 not to proc the third chain skill;
• spirit weapons;
• norn elite forms.

Tried the aforementioned combo, to no avail. Just… too much AoE.

Any ideas, anyone?

I did it on warrior by using rifle and health regen and running around in circles at a range. Have you tried scepter on a zerker build? Guardian has very good regen so it’s a long while before the oozes’ attacks become a problem.

yea i feel like scepter + shield #5 or torch #4-4 would help you. shield of avenger to focus safely on boss

kite around for shield spirit cooldown if needed though then I doubt you’d kill it within the 2min

Tried it, the oozes just keep blobbing on the boss, sooner or later, getting in the way. And scepter 1 is just not enough to damage him down with all the small oozes spitting at you.
I swapped to necro for this fight and just bled him, but i do not see how to do this on a guardian.
