Hi Guys, In this encounter, when you get into “main” you -pretty much- get stuck and can’t move anywhere as to not be caught in overflow.

So please take 5 minutes before you go to the area and spend 2-3 gold acquiring this quick list of consumables/pets. They are SO VERY IMPORTANT that I cannot stress how crucial it is to have them handy. (I am from the team that killed the wurm 1st time in Deso so please trust me)

Very easy to use, just use once in second phase! Don’t worry about the 30 min cool down as event repeats every 2 hours

Same with this one. During the heads phase DPS is so crucial that these are “ultra” helpful. Please acquire them before heading out to Blood Tide Coast.

Some suggest flame throwers too but I personally can’t use them very well so it’s upto you.

Also Respec for DPS (or condition if you are going to work on husks) before you come as there is no retrainer there.. Ditch the sPVP, support, healer, etc. traits and go for traits that give you max damage potential and a bit of survivability.

Take if you have your PVT gear not just zerker. First phase you can’t crit the boss, second phase you can go all out!

Of course power/vitality and crit foods, oil, sharpening stones should also be with you at all times because this encounter is an intense dps fight throughout.

And by the way ANET please do something about the 10 SECONDS of meaningless invulnerability during the 2:00 minute head phase!

REMEMBER GUYS, in this fight, everyone matters and you should come prepared to help your fellow players! Hope this small list helps you kill the wurm

Cheers!

Good advice. Any more in terms of food, oil, venom, crystals, etc?

Specific Utilities for classes? I am sure most of us who are attempting this still have most of this figured out but we could be wrong as Deso has the only kill so far.

Food, Sharpening Stones at least can be acquired in the area, but these things I’ve mentioned cannot be done without leaving the map. But of course people can put their suggestions to boost dps in this fight.

We just had a ridiculously good Amber run in BG and our commanders are pretty sure it’s because we had 20-30 Embers on during phase 2.

So yeah, they help. A lot.

So…in the same patch that nerfed them they put a boss that can’t basically be killed without them. Makes sense.

PVT and Rabid work better during the first phase.
Zerk is king for the second phase.

Wurm heads in the second phase can be critted. Thus zerker is best for that. However, you cannot do that in the first phase. Switching gears between phases is also extremely difficult.

This is the phase we are trying to deal with now. Just need a little more DPS.
