Hey guys I just wanted to share a few things I’ve found that a lot of people might not know, and I’d like to share them in hopes they spread like wildfire, and make our lives easier.
First off probably the biggest thing that makes this fight easier is the class I oddly enough do not see in there that often, and that’s the Ranger. When I was struggling with all the golem blocks I remembered a little patch note I read a while ago, and that is traps are no longer blockable. I looked at my rangers skills and sure enough they are unblockable. I tried it out and it works. Here’s some tips about trapping though: Don’t run to the golems to trap at there feet. lay traps while your running.
It’s prolly not best to use ground targeting traps, because it can get a little mucky running, dodging, and jumping while using ground targeting. I’ve also tried fast cast ground targeting, because the trait for ground targeting traps also makes the traps bigger, but even then the traps are not set as quickly as without it. The ground targeting traps work beautifully though through every regular fight though in the instance.
Don’t worry about the golems running past the traps it doesn’t usually happen, and teammates that have aggro can lead the golems through the traps. Your teammates are also gonna want to cover you since you’ll be one of the few dealing damage past the blocks your gonna get aggro real quick.
A couple more things that can make this dungeon easier is a guardian using a GS using Binding Blade, and a Thief with Scorpion Wire to pull the golems away from the laser beams which gives the golems the block buff if they touch it, and a Thief with stealth can rez without aggro, or lose golem aggro really quickly.
Here’s two more tips that I am not sure work, but believe they do, and that’s Necro marks being unblockable, and Thief traps being unblockable, but I have not tested these out.
I know some people may find this simple, and disappointing, but I hope it really helps some people.
