Guild Wars 2

most mesmer damage comes from phantasms or shatters. Either case relies on illusions that do not dodge and generally get one shot by boss attacks.

Tequatl’s wave attack one shots all phantasms about every 5-7s.

So I guess you really just can’t do this boss on that class.

If you think so, grab hold of a turret and make yourself useful

Im mesmer and i agree, but since i cant really damage him, i just stay back at the turrets and protect them, im killing the fingers and helping to DPS the bone wall if he manages to make it, thats a little more safe (you dont die so much) and you have better fps, be happy

There are many things to do on this fight. You can use your shattering build to protect the people that are using the turrets, for example.

and not get enough damage tagged on tequatl to get credit.

I guess what I want is for phantasms/illusions, pets, and minions to be immune to the aoe and ground aoe effects that bosses do because they won’t dodge and die quickly. Even with their health buff they have less hp than someone in full zerkers.

No need to “tag” for credit. I didnt hit him once and still got a daily chest first time out. The rewards are tied in to the event status not how much you hit him.

Yeah, there are some MAJOR misconceptions about event credit that I imagine are causing a lot of the heartache right now.

What chest? Did I miss a chest?

I got gold medal and and spent the whole fight healing people on turrets and killing the risen that attacked them. Didn’t go anywhere near Teq.

The “daily” reward chest, the one that pops up on the right hand side above the minimap. I got mines from defending turrets, nothing more.

Rewards for the event are tied to the status of the event. As long as you participate in any part of the event you will be credited for a reward.

Thanks. I misunderstood. I got credit for the daily plus the hunting achievement for showing up to the fight.

30% of ranger DPS comes from pets. Pets get 2 shot. At least your pets are temporary.

Haha, now you’re starting to think like a ranger. ;D

Believe us, we feel your pain.

(actually, Malevo, the dps reduction is closer to 40%)

In Diablo 3, nobody used any of the pets, they made the pets immune to certain aoe attacks/damaging floors, and now they’re viable parts of builds.

Anet either needs to make pets/minions/phantasms immune to certain aoes and ground effects, or they need to make them have the ai to dodge.

Mesmer phantasms are immune to the electrical field on Golem Mark II, so nearly all damage is done that way. Super useful for that fight.
