Guild Wars 2

So I picked Durmand (sp?) Priory and chose to study the skritt, Im at the point of fighting the Destroyer Queen. As soon as the mobs spawn they go to town on my squishy elementalist every time. I go back in and manage to pull the smaller mobs and kill them.

But now the queen is eating my face and when trying to kite her around the larger circular area she resets, so i have to try to move around in area that she fills half of. Any suggestions?

PS Im overleveled for the quest at this point.

You have to kill the queen. You can pull her up on the ramp by the bomb. Going up off the ramp will have her reset, so you’re stuck fighting her there. I used a staff, both elemental summons, arcane shield and the blinding signet. The easiest way to set this up is to just find a corner (like in that small area at the top of the ramp), defend yourself from the trolls that run in, once the queen is up, rez your mentor, then pull the queen up on the ramp and take care of her.

Additionally, if you are still having trouble, you could always party up with someone and have them help you. Two players may have a much easier time than one!

There were two priory quests in a row (I believe this and the one before it) that were incredibly difficult for my elementalists. I really hope that I don’t encounter destroyers again.

If it makes you feel any better the grass isn’t any greener on the other(Sylvari) side. Hopefully you aren’t spec’ed for burning like I am.

the difficulty is way to high on these story quests i have had it with arenanet not addressing the issue.

Yeah, you basically can’t do this. Even when I specced otherwise, my earth elementalist was somehow still doing more damage to the destroyers than I was.
