Guild Wars 2

How come no one ever kills the Boss at the top of the stairs? He gives a chest and it opens a way point, I see groups going around him all the time.

People do. Groups usually use a place to stack and LoS Kholer and his adds, they say that if you kill him fast enough he won’t have time to do the spinning atack, but i’ve seen him doing the spinning right at the beginning.

But i dont think its worth killing that boss, that chest only gives blues and a tonic.

It is worth killing Kholer on any path. 15 seconds or less if the group does it’s job properly.

Most PUGs I’ve seen that kill kholer will pull him between the fallen pillar and another pillar on the northwest part of the platform, then attempt to dps him down while stacked, ignoring the adds. With FGS rushing and decent dps, he melts quickly, but a lot of PUGs don’t have that great dps and will run into trouble if they fail to interrupt his pull/spin. Many who do fail to dps him in time are then killed by his spin, leading to the general line of thinking, “kholer is not worth killing”.

Personally, I would much rather kill kholer, as well as the always-skipped graveling champions (1 patrolling north of the silver spiders on p2/3, 1 in the room just before ghost eater on p2, and 1 in the tunnels run through on p1/3), and troll, if only because he’s fun to melee. They’re probably not worth killing in a time/money sense since the nerf on silver from champ bags, unless you run every dungeon every day, but I prefer to make the most of every run when possible. That said, you’re more likely to win the lottery than get a PUG to agree to kill all those.

Posting in a Kholer thread!
Why do they skip him? Because they’re bad, essentially. He has a low hp pool, so you burn him down super quickly if you have a team that is remotely decent. As you said, he unlocks a waypoint and has a bag.
No, he isn’t hard to kill. First boss in the first dungeon that you have to face, and yet people suck at seeing a coreographed, immensely slow attack that doesn’t even 1 shot you. Well, the spin after the telegraphed attack, I mean.
Hell, he event interrupts himself if you put wor or feedback on top of him. What else do they need? You can even fight him in open field just fine and see all of his well-telegraphed, slow moves. The adds are probably more annoying than him…
Meh. I can’t justify it in any way. You can’t have trouble with that boss after the 3rd or 4th time you kill him.

I have had a necro add fear me off into the water so yeah they are more annoying than he is.
