Guild Wars 2

Going invisible at 50% is part of the mechanic when she is in phase 1. To me, this just means you don’t run sparks fast enough.
Having her go invisible all the time at 25% well is a bug, never got it though.

But if you still have trouble with her after patch (in regards to the 50% mark)… I wonder if you understand the mechanics of the fights ?

Do you realize that if no matter how fast you gather the sparks and how fast you damage her if she hides at 50% always, it’s literally impossible to bring her health lower than that?

There isn’t some hidden trick that will prevent her from hiding that we were not doing.
With a not bugged fight, it’s all about how fast you gather the sparks. And she’ll hide based on time. The faster you gather the sparks, the more time you’ll have to damage her before she hides again.
Either there isn’t anything else to it, or there’s some mysterious hidden secret someone is not telling.

With a bugged fight, she’ll hide at 50% always, no matter what you do.

Maybe it happens at 25% too, it can be possible if it happens at 50%, but with the parties I’ve been, we only got the 50% one.

Phase 1
Bring Simin down to 50% HP.
She will stealth.
Deliver sparks before Simin regains 10% HP.
If you succeeded, move to Phase 2.
If you failed, repeat Phase 1.

Phase 2
Simin’s stealth mechanic becomes time-based.
If Simin reaches 60% HP at any point, go to Phase 1.
Continue spark deliverance until Simin is killed.

What is more believable; That you are letting Simin reach 60% HP each time, causing an infinite Phase 1 loop which you are perceiving to be a bug, or that this is a bug that effects you every single time?

The bug, of course, since she recovers HP so slow now that you have to be REALLY, REALLY slow for her to get to 60%.

I mean, really, REAAAAAALLY slow, I’m talking “Chariots of Fire playing in he background” slow.

The last time I tried, after several attempts, we went to the rocks to discuss what to try next (4-1 bug, calling guildies with more DPS, switching characters, etc)
When we finished, she hasn’t recovered 100%. And we talked for several minutes.

NOTHING worked. At 50%, every time, regarldess of how fast we gathered the sparks, regarldess of how slow we gathered the sparks, regardless of how fast we damaged her, regarldess of how slowy we damaged her, EVERY TIME, she hid at 50% HP.

Now that they reduced her recovering so much, you can no longer use the excuse of people being slow to arrogantly dismiss others saying “you are doing it wrong” instead accepting the possibility that there may be people getting this bug.

Just remove her, good players killed her long time ago (only injustice would be for new players, but i doubt there are many since ESO and NWN are going on soon)

I finished a few path 4 runs some time ago with random classes and what can I say now – there’s no fun. It’s so easy and the title “Dungeon Master” is so easy to obtain now. Simin healing skill is really, really nerfed now and I can say this path is no longer the hardest one.

I’m broken seeing something like this… what about people who have tried to done it before a patch? For us “Dungeon Masters” from before the patch it’s a big joke… or at least that’s what I think myself.

This. I finished this path personally right after the Jan. 28th Patch. Now after the february patch, the difficulty is no longer present at all. Ran this with 4 first timers, completed it probably within 20 minutes; there was no sense of adrenaline/exaltation upon completion. Still good memories with the group I completed it personally when finally getting the Dungeon Master title, but after completing it post February patch, it appears that my fears were verified after the announcement that her healing would be nerfed. It was a nice gesture by arena net i suppose…. but at the same time I feel like they took away something good by conceding to player demand in this manner.

Also…. I really wish they took my suggestion for a linearly increasing heal, if they planned to nerf the heal rate, in order to reward good-play/ punish bad-play. Oh well, it is what it is.

Anyone who has complained on the forums about the dungeons in this game probably will jump ship as soon as ESO goes live.
