Yesterday or the day before I did path 4 with a semi-pug and though we easily killed Simin, she was stealthing few secs after revealing. She was far under 50% at the time (something like revealed at 25% and stealth at 10%).
I’ve been a while since I last could not pass Simin but I have never understood exactly what she is about… Sometimes she stealths sometimes no, sometimes sparks leash, sometimes they choose a farther target than you. This fight is very odd to me.
This boss just needs a rework. Most dungeons you can get away with multiple build styles, but this one you need a very high DPS team build, and even then it’s rather frustrating to play. Timecookie, I’d love to know your trick to beating her. I’ve tried with Guildies and PUGs alike, only to fail.
Simin must have been nerfed hard because we killed her with 1 mes, 2 guard and 2 warr w/o dying and we were far from high DPS. Running the sparks was easy too

No trick, everything has been done regularly.
1/ We put Simin against the wall close to statue.
2/ Set a Guardian to the 2 deeper Sparks and the Mesmer to the 3 Sparks at the entry of the cave.
3/ DPS, run sparks, DPS, run sparks, DPS…
It must come from builds and everyone picking the right skills. Go for Banners, Signet of Inspiration, Vulnerabilities and don’t forget stability.

You don’t even need that much organization anymore. I’ve had guildies kill Simin with the group makeup of a necro, mesmer, ranger, and two guardians. My jaw dropped when he told me this because my group of 2 zerker warriors, 2 zerker thieves, and a zerker mesmer had a kitten difficult time downing her pre nerf. My Dungeon Master title is worthless now :/

sparks would pop and she would not ^^ Was petrified, but still could fight…
