Guild Wars 2

Tried several times with different classes,but nothing seem to work for me…i have ele,guardian,mesmer,necro,engi and thief, i am getting discouraged now,most of times i die after killing the first two or i run out of time…anyone knows an easy method to defeat them?

Are you killing the healer first?

What worked for me is killing them in this order: First Mate, Gunner, Captain, Stitches.

I go for the first mate 1st because they do the most damage, then the gunner because the AoE is annoying and leave Stitches till last because they give health regen to whoever is left.

Other than that you want a build that will let you deal damage quickly and consistently while you’re kiting around the room. I used a lot of conditions, bleeding and burning in particular. But you also want to focus on just one at a time because when one dies all the rest are healed automatically so it’s a waste of time to try and bring them all down together.

Focus on stitches first, she’s the healer and will wreck any attempt you made.

After that I took out the first mate, she’s the damage dealer. Then the master gunner, and the captain last.

Each of them gives a buff to their allies and fully heals them on death except stitches.

The gunner gives all the enemies guns, the captain lets them dodge, the first mate gives them a poison, and stitches is supposed to give the other allies regeneration but it didn’t seem to ever pop for me.

I had a guildmate do the captain third and save the gunner for last, saying that worked for him, but the dodges screwed me over.

1) Use damage gear. I’m not saying you need zerker, I’m saying you need gear that has a primary focus on damage. I personally used Rabid.

2) Pick a target order, and stick with it. Killing the healer first and the buffer second is a frequent one.

3) Focus down one. They improve each other while alive, so get rid of them fast to weaken the remaining ones. Yes, they buff one another while dead, but not nearly as much as alive.

4) If you want to beat them with an engineer, I (and several other members of the engineer forums) would be more than willing to critique your build. There’s a wealth of information on how best to play each class in the forums.

5) Use consumables like food, sharpening stones, maintenance oils, and the like. They’re small buffs, but they help.

6) If you are frequently dying to damage, make sure that you aren’t getting hit by the avoidable cannon bombardment. It’s difficult to see, but avoiding that damage helps a lot.

Also don’t forget to get the pavillion npc buffs before fight such as regen/crit damage etc…. the regen one might help you keep your hp up. Those buffs help a lot. The anti-pirate buff might be good too.

Personally prefer killing captain first, he does more harm alive than dead, then first mate since she deal some good damage.

Never kill gunner first, it turns rest of the crew into range, which can be bad if first mate still alive by then.

Stitch is a preference depend on builds, basically a choice of dealing with burst heal(kill last) or regen(kill first).

Seems that it’s time to get a zerker armor for my mesmer …thanks for the tips,i’ll try again:)

I did this the first try on my necro by using lich form with mostly zerker gear, a full bar of life force helps as well.

Just bought a set of berserker exotic gear for my mesmer(had only 70ish rare gear before) and did it …seems that going zerker is the solution to all problems^^
Liadri ,you are next!:D

I did it with a Minion Master necro supported by minion lifestealing. Pretty much steamrolled them. XD “You have allies? I have MORE allies.” I went with Stitches, the Captain, Gunner then First Mate. The regen Stitches gives them wasn’t a problem for me since my Necro uses Scepter and the conditions I applied more than negated the regen, allowing my minions to just smack them down.

Don’t the emissary buffs get stripped when you go into the domes?

At any rate, I’m stuck on the Ravenous crew as well. My only options are guardian, elementalist and warrior. The former two are more support-focused in terms of traits but have a mix of Knight and Berserker rare gear. The latter is still half in greens and glass cannon specced, and I don’t think I’ll even try it with her because there’s just too much incoming damage. For the same reason, I’m leery to reshuffle traits on the other two. They can just barely take down two enemies with dodge-heals and such.

I took them out in this order on a necro: Stiches, Captain, Gunner, First Mate.
Stitches really draws out the fight, and this is a fight against the clock. So take her down first. I also fear the others away, so I can focus on the healer without being beaten up. The captain does quite a bit of damage, and it’s easier once you have only one melee pirate to deal with, so he’s second. The Gunner goes down fast, but it is the First Mate who often takes a bit longer than the others. Bringing Blood is Power was vital in killing him within the time limit.
