Did they buff her or what? Our group had no real issues with her on release, but now she seems to oneshot 3 people every 10 seconds.

Also horrik his mortars seem to strike us sometimes even though we aren’t anywhere close to where his projectiles fly.

I like me some tough fights, but I do not like impossible ones. Is there something we might be overseeing?

Also, a better tell on the shadowstep might be welcome, it’s hard to see with all those spell effects flying around.

Seems like they really promote an all out guardian group for this

Its all condition removal if squad doesn’t have it you are in for an unhappy fight.

Also use regen foods if you want a slightly easier time. If you’re fine with that then use the condition duration reduction foods.

We use food all the time, and we have groupwide condition removal up almost the whole time so that isn’t killing us. It’s really her direct damage that oneshots 1-3 people all the time.

Her sword thrust attack is a frontal cone, so if all your party members are clumped together in front of her then they will all die.

She also only teleports to the furthest party member, make sure to rotate who is furthest out so one person isn’t always getting hammered.

That cone seems to be what i’m talking about I guess, well i’ll be kitten ed, she didn’t use it that often before the hotfixes I guess :P

Yeah it is also the attack that applies like 20 stacks of bleeds in like 3 seconds. I found it most effective to dodge roll straight through her as soon as she gets in front of you.

I run with Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew and stay back so I can get shadowstepped to. I use blocks and reflects to prevent her from hitting me (and therefore the rest of my team) with her shadowsteps.

Occasionally I will encounter a party member who doesn’t understand that she shadowsteps furthest target (even after being told) and will run away when low, trying to wait so they can heal up. That is the biggest mistake you can do in this fight. if you’re low on health, stand mid-range from her, not far range. Make sure someone else is behind you, and do not stand in her flourishes.

In fact, I rarely go melee in this fight, if I ever do, it’s to blind her or just in mid-melee range so she’s close, but not too close (so the zap-attacks will take off her stacks and I won’t be in range of the flourish).

I also make sure I stealth if I ever have to go next to her to res someone. With Prismatic Understanding, I either get Prot, Regen or Aegis every second, which makes it really useful for ressing people in sticky situations.

I also run Lyssa runes on my current armor set, so if I am ever running around with 20 bleed stacks, I’ll use Mass Invisibility to cleanse myself, aide low teammates, and gain all boons.

Total damage in the dungeon seems to be up.
I know because of the reset we lost the WvW buffs but this is just weird.
First boss the amount of pulls and confusion is up and more frequent to the point its getting silly.
It’s harder to kite them so they get hit way more often (they swap targets a lot now)

Mai Trin is just shadow stepping way more often and hits harder, the shadow step when you get in and load is just killer for some when they load slower
You get in see the red circle she shadow steps and your down.

I like this hard dungeon but now it really looks like the last patch changed some stuff and made it harder.

her animations are predictable, right after she stops to hit you dodge behind her
