Guild Wars 2

I know there are plenty of players out there having trouble with the NULL encounter so I have created this video guide on how to beat him and to explain the mechanics of the fight as well as going over a few suggestions on how the encounter can be improved.

Please feel free to add your own suggestions or if you have any questions or other problems encounted please put them in the comments below and I’ll do my best to respond.

Hey Kaboose! Master Saber here. Just watched your video and my suggestions are as follows:
1. You don’t need to concentrate on turrets. I understand your method is trying to be very similar to Arena Net’s guide but turrets are a waste of time (They will re-spawn way too fast & the entire battle will take way too long).

2. Also, have your party kill clones when luring/pushing NULL into a mine. Stick pets on NULL when he’s right next to a mine and it will distract the boss from the players, allowing instant (if not repeated) episodes of disarming mines.

3. Your upload is great, but the encounter seems too long. If players whom have tried your method cannot still get it; I’ll be available until June 5 for free 3 minutes (or less) speed runs.

I did mention ignoring turent unless they are right near NULL or he’s sheilded with no way to remove.
By all means I’m not saying don’t join Sabre on his speed runs, It’s really great he’s offering his time to help out the players.
However if you’re like me and prefer to do things yourself or with your mates then this guide is for you.

No ill-intentions were made, as I was just contributing with free suggestions.
The more methods the merrier, even though it’s a bit lengthy for some people like me. What I meant was just run NULL over explosive land mines and gas mines. Gas mines will “necro” the boss and turrets @ that point will hurt NULL more than aid it.

Hope that makes more sense.

Yep, Cheers.

Well NULL has been stealth nerfed so that his debuff at 25% no longer builds up over time. The fight can now be kitten derped by all but the most retarted of players GG anet.

I just hope that this is a bug, instead of a nerf. We already have too many bosses who are nerfed into a brain dead fight, we need no more of this “easy” crap.

I like the softenrage mechanic of NULL, to be honest i like the whole mechanics of NULL. It is something differemt from other bossfights.
But i dislike some flaws and bugs in his mechanics, like he can spawn his shield and detonate the mines right away. Or spawn the shield after we ripped the thing from him, or the fact that he can detonate the mines, which vanished after they explode, just in the moment they reappear. Yes this skills do have a cooldown but sometimes NULL can ignore the cooldowns, sometimes, not always.

Most of the time when he is spamming his shield, it is because the partyfailed to bring his shield down fast enough, but sometimes the party brings the shield down right after he spawned it and he just shielded himself almost instantly.

So, fix the flaws and bugs of NULL and you have a really good and challenging boss encounter but please dont nerf his skills, we dont want brain dead bossfights with mechanics you can just ignore.

Must be a bug since during and after your post, he still built hp over time. I’ve noticed last night he turned more aggressive. Though if done right, and used stability, he will still give you a challenge.

Ooooh! I’m so going to try him out again right now!

Well scratch that! It must have just been a bug. it seems now mines you set off by accident hurt a lot more the ones he detonate hurt a little less.
