Guild Wars 2

I’m a lvl 13 ele and I’m doing the floating grizwhirl story, which btw takes FOREVER to get passed the performances. Why do the hypnotized workers stun you? IT’S THREE ON ONE ANET! I’m squishy as dick and you’re expecting me to take on three people that stun you every second? I can’t even get one attack in!

Cool it with the stuns! This is why I never even finished the story mode with my lvl 80 thief. Story quests are just annoying.

Sounds like you need to strafe and dodge more. As an ele you have plenty of CC which you can use to knockback and slow down your opponent and then run away. I assume your problem is in the stables. Simply dodge away and slow them down with (cripple from earth, freeze from water, shock from air) and then run outside. Switch to fire and dps like crazy while strafing in a circle and you’ll own it pretty fast.

I had no problem completing the story mode on my 80 thief, and I did this particular instance with my Mesmer – again with few to no problems.

I for one really appreciate that the story missions are challenging. My only gripe is how short they are.

I tried that! When I have to activate, they get a cheep hit in and stun me, then they all take turns just stunning me… I haven’t tried that slowing down part tho, which I guess I should try.

I didn’t have problems with the story with my thief as well, I just got really bored of them and saw no purpose of during once I reached 80

Hey Vees,

Were you able to finish this eventually? If not, I’d be happy to group with you and help you out.

Cheers

yeah vees it just sounds like youre not playing well in that scenario.

ive never done any human stories myself but i actually watched a friend do that quest and the last part of the grizwhirl and as an ele he just stomped everything, aside form the last boss ofc which gave him some issues, being a boss and all lol

idk, he just dodged when he needed too and dropped aoe until most of them were close to dead, and switched to water to heal himself if he got stuck in chain stuns.

Squishy as what?!

If you have problems with personal story, try getting some additional levels. Of course it doesn’t solve the ‘you should learn to play better’, but is an easy override.
