So I like you Arenanet, I really do.. But some times you make Lady GaGa look normal.. This is what I feel like your telling me:

The Leiutenant(?) sucks you in and spins and you die. Deal with it.
His minions have farther range than you. Deal with it.
The bigger Graveling Breeders will pour out more spawns than the burrows and they wont die with the burrow. Dealt with it.
The Graveling Scavenger leaps on you and you lay on the ground like your hibernating til it kills you. WTF!!! Deal with it.

This is just the parts I care to mention.. I understand that it’s supposed to be a challenge and difficult to make people happy, but my gosh, do you have to make it so the “supposedly easiest” dungeon makes The Dark Ones prison look like a flower bed (WoT reference) But why on earth did you not try this out before making it out there for everyone? Do you not test anything? I enjoy difficulty. I do not enjoy impossibility.
If I can survive Orr while not fully leveled up I should be able to handle the first dungeon… So please get your act together. I’ve loved you guys for years and your breaking my gaming spirit.

In the same order as you:

Learn his tell (pulls back arm and sparkles) and dodge.
Pull Khlor away from his minions or focus kill his minions.
Focus fire breeders (ctrl+click to call target) or learn how to move away from them
Stun breakers, dodge, and stability

Now you know how to deal with it. And knowing is half the battle!
Seriously don’t want to be a complete jerk but you just need to take time and learn the dungeon and maybe gear up slightly better with cheap rares or green items.

Really? I mean really? Another post like this, tsk.

At the top of this page is a sticky with video walkthroughs to the dungeon…may be, just may be you should prepare a little bit better.

None of these dungeons are difficult to understand and get to grips with. If you cannot improve how you play, the game and its dungeons may well be too difficult for you.

There are plenty of tools/tips/walkthroughs and more to help you out. If you can only complain before trying to improve your play level, well the issue is not the game.

…from elsewhere…

Lieutenant Kholer: The pull is highly telegraphed and can be dodged or blocked by any ranged block skill or aegis.
Kholer’s minions: They only seem to have further range as they are above you. Pull Kholer down off the platform and engage him seperately. The minions will withdraw and allow you to kill just Kholer. After he is down, run up and wipe the minions with ease.
Graveling Breeders: Prioritize them and hit them hard.
Graveling Burrows: Prioritize right after the breeders. On path 1 (Hodgins) in the room with the burrows you can prevent the breeder from spawning with a hard enough preemptive strike on the burrow. Elementalist’s ice bow skill 4 with two players with bows can take out the burrow in about 1 second or so. I, personally, find that skill so useful that I don’t run AC without a party member being an ele (I have an ele alt, so I run it if noone else does).
Graveling Scavengers: They are a pain. If you can dodge their pounce, they will still do their full attack downed player animation making them not attack back for a short bit. If you do get pounced, use a stun-break. All classes have them and they are essential to surviving the scavengers if you do get pounced.

This dungeon can seem hard if you are not familiar with the tricks, but once you gain more experience you will see that this is not only one of the easiest dungeons, but also one of the better ones if you are simply looking to make money the honest way (aka not abusing the TP).

And this is where we learn how suggestions are falsified.
Not all classes have stunbreakers : the ranger has none against knockdown.

I’m fairly certain that Lightning Reflexes and Signet of Renewal are ranger’s skills.

Lightning Reflexes doesn’t work on knockdown.

I main a ranger and run both Signet of Renewal and Lightning Reflexes. They have saved me from the Scavengers many a time.
