Guild Wars 2

There have been several difficulty spikes in my personal story and fortunately this wasn’t as brutal as the (apparently edited) Dead of Winter quest but still felt fairly extreme. Actually getting through the normal enemies felt extremely tough but the largest spike seemed to be fighting The Eye of Zhaitan. One of its moves allegedly causes Confusion. I say allegedly because as an Elementalist it would kill me in the blink of an eye. I had just about enough time to initiate one dodge roll before dying.

If I had a better indication this was what was happening I could have disabled auto attack (though the interaction between confusion and auto attack seems strained at best.) but as was it just seemed to fire an ability and then I immediately died. Fortunately after a few attempts my Elementals and Traehaerne manage to take it down, where upon I faced the final enemy… who died very quickitteno a very basic strategy which didn’t require me to use any of my utilities. I’m not saying after all that I was wanting a brutal challenge, within context it was somewhat of a relief to get an easy fight, but it was strange it was SO much easier than even the average enemy.
