Guild Wars 2

For those of you who have completed the path, what worked for you on the Simin fight? I’m going to give it another shot tonight.

Take her to a corner, all five people hit her until she gives loot. Throw some poison in there if you want the fight to be more of a joke.

Tried that once, but the group was a PUG. Not enough DPS.

Bring her down to 50% until she heals
LET her heal back to 100%, in the meantime round up 4 sparks NOT 5 and bring them to the statue.
when she returns bring her back down to 50%, when she hides this time have 4 people stay on her despite her invisibility and have 1 person bring 1 spark to the statue, this will bring her back.

burn her before she hides again, the more warriors you bring the better as their damage is far greater than any other proffesion.

it’s a bug that’ll no doubt eventually be fixed but doing this fight the complete legimate way of rounding up all 5 sparks everytime is the most stressful thing in the game by far, they switch aggro constantly, they’re ranged rather than melee, general pathing issues etc.

Ok, what I did after many hours trying to kill this thing:
Gather tears just outside the cave. Have one big pile for a designated tear thrower. Another pile of tears on the spot where your melee DPS will be hurting her.
Your tear thrower’s job is to unstone any melee DPS. Have him watch the status bars of your team, before a players gets petrified, they have a unique debuff on them so you can tell when they get petrified. The tear thrower can throw in a few ranged attacks sometimes as well, but don’t make it his focus.
When Simin stealths, have the tear thrower gather up the 3 sparks near the cave entrance, while your 3 DPS melee continue to hit the spot where she stealthed at (to slow down her regen).
Then you have 1 other guy who gathers the other 2 tears in the back of the cave. The guy in the back can come for some DPS, but make sure he gets back to the cave in time before she stealths again.
When the sparks appear, your 3 DPSers will have to unstone each other with their pile of tears, because tear thrower will be away at that time.

If you do this right, with enough DPS and fast enough spark runs, you should be able to make it.
