Guild Wars 2

Two words: Condition Damage

Once you get to the 2nd phase, all you gotta do is run clockwise (or ccw) NEAR the center of the circle. That way you can run to safety without using dodge EVEN when crippled (save endurance for those emergency situations). Once you got survival down, all you gotta do now is hit Liadri every once in a while.

By using condition damage, this is very doable since every action applies considerable damage overtime. Trust me, I was using full physical damage build as a warrior, and it is SO much harder than it needs to be. Now, with my war, all I gotta do is use bow 2, 5, and fire field, and let her tick to death!

I would also add to this: if you feel like you are falling behind in terms of movement with the AoE pattern, and you just barely make the next safe zone (due to being crippled or whatever), turn around and go the other direction when the next zone appears. It’s easy to forget that the next safe zone is sometimes much closer in the opposite direction when getting caught up in the chaos of the second phase.

I’d say that the most important things to take against her are mobility skills (blinks, leaps), invulnerability/evasion skills, condition removal, and healing.

Mesmers are one of the best choices against her because they have all of these – Blink, Blurred Frenzy, Phantasmal Disenchanter, and significant healing. S/F or S/D eles are also a good candidate because of their invulns, condition removal, mobility, and powerful self healing.
