Guild Wars 2

I did Arahs today for the first time in awhile, and boy did it feel good fighting against Lupi and getting prepared for the next stage.

I don’t get why more bosses aren’t like this in the game. Lupi is the only one that comes to mind atm that has stages.

It gets annoying fighting certain bosses that use the same skills all the time and the entire fight is basically avoiding AoE or having proper timing in your dodge or just running around with range avoiding red circles.

Please add more bosses that have stages in the future, much like Lupi does.

On a side note, is the Magg and F/F path of TA working as intended? I’m kind of sick of having to kite enemies during the door on explosives part in path 2 of CoF, and I’m kind of sick of sitting spamming body shot on the tree during the f/f path in TA. Can we at least have it so it’s possible to fight rather than sit back against Fyonna and not have to kite for Magg? I don’t even think it’s possible to fight the enemies that spawn and the constant horde of spiders that fill the entire room.

They actually took this to heart with FotM; the Jade Maw boss has stages as well. Certainly, the Ancient Karka had numerous stages if you factor each section of his dynamic event during the final encounter. I would anticipate seeing a lot more like this in the future for GW2.

That’s good news. I didn’t get to do the Ancient Karka due to my schedule and I think Fractals is the worse thing to happen to this game so I don’t do them. Thanks for the info. I hope ArenaNet does do this, but also upgrades some of the bosses in the current dungeons. These dungeons we’re doing now shouldn’t be forgotten about because the content gets so outdated.

They mentioned that they want to improve their previous dungeons, so I wouldn’t put it past them to significantly improve the structure of dungeon bosses to include multiple stages. I don’t think the turnaround will be instant or even fast, but I’d expect these improvements over the course of the next year.

If you’re rolling in a high enough DPS group, you can focus fire down mobs and survive in Magg for a pretty long time or even through the whole event. A while back I goaded a group into trying it as a sort of joke and we ended up finishing it pretty easily despite nobody actually really being ready for it. One person died, but he died literally 5 seconds before the event ended, and if I had actually bothered to ress him a little he would have probably lived (I was trying to kill a mob to let him rally off of it and it died right after he did – at that health, I probably should have just gone to pick him up instead of risking it).

first boss in CoF story has phases aswell

he’s memorable because of how severe his first Greatsword phase is, my word does he hurt.

All bosses with extreme high hp should get more phases imo.
A boss like lupi takes a while to kill but every phase it’s like you face a different boss.
It would make some boring bosses with just a lot of hp more fun to fight.

Yeah. I hate HotW. Those guys have TOO much health and are just one stage.
