Guild Wars 2

I really want to get Marionette Muter but I’m having a difficult time because on several of my runs, the first 5th chain group always seem to fail it. It’s so frustrating when the other pads just can’t finish it. And then the 2nd/3rd 5th chain attempt are the ones that succeed.

On my side,
I’ve tried optimizing my build to make sure my pad will always get it (or have the best chance)
I’m either using a Fractal DPS Guardian build or straight DPS Guardian build, hammer autoattack on swap for perma protection, fire field for blasting might, 2H sword for pull, or some runs 1H Sword + Focus for extra blast and blocks. Hold the Line for regen/protection, Aegis for extra block.

For the others,
I shout stack and do melee DPS on map chat, ask a few from lane 1/2 with no sickness to go over lane 5 (adjust if a lane failed). I also say stack and melee DPS a few times before the fight starts.

I notice several of my runs are like this:
Chain 1234 – all successful
Chain 5 – lane 5, fail
lane 1, fail
lane 2, success

During lane 2, my portal sickness isn’t ready yet.
Sometimes I just wanna skip the 1st lane 5 so I won’t have sickness for 2nd/3rd attempt but it would be incredibly annoying if it succeeds.

Any advice?

Not much advice I can offer. :/ It’s really just down to luck if your lane manages to beat the chain. (This is why I’ve been advocating that the achievement be awarded if your platform manages to destroy its Regulator.)

I agree that good DPS is key though, as is pushing the mobs back against the wall so AoE and cleave can go to town on them. I got it as a MM Necro; Flesh Golem Charging all the Wardens against the Regulator while they were sitting in fire fields and a Warrior’s Hundred Blades was a sight to behold.

Guide in my signature.
And since you’re a Guardian as well it’ll be a good watch as well :p

Dodge, don’t get hit by AoE, don’t get downed and hope the other platforms pulling their weight.

No need for any special builds. You are at the mercy of other players here.

The decision to tie the achievement to lanes was a mistake. The dodging should have been independent. That the warden thing requires lane completion is ok, though.

But I understand why Anet made this decision. With the way achievs are setup, people will still try to go for completion instead of cypher part farming. Although the farming already has begun but is compensated by other players switching lanes one the debuff wears off.
