Guild Wars 2

The wizard will start to charge you after you hit him when he is below 50% health. Many people have complained that they cannot avoid it. This is untrue. Here is how to avoid it.

Assume that the wizard is standing at 12 o’clock on the arena face when he shoots his bolts. Stand at either 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock while deflecting his bolt. After he is hit, run along the edge of the arena away from the wizard when he charges. You should be able to avoid the first three charges completely while doing this. When the wizard charges the fourth time, evade toward the center to dodge it. Repeat.

Done. No damage taken. For the first phase, at least.

For the second phase I would kite the sparks around on the center platform while attacking them. I normally take no damage from this. Pay close attention to when he charges his attack on the center platform and get off of it. You normally have a few seconds to react. Hop around the outer platforms and he usually won’t break one near you. After that he’ll be stunned in the center and you can attack him. With the nunchucks, you only have to do this once more.

I just wanted to post my thanks for Sli Fi, because the strategy to avoid Storm Wizard’s charging attack worked wonders.

If you want to have an even easier time, and make it go faster, just slap him with the whip. No need to run around.
