Guild Wars 2

When are they destructible? Seems like sometimes they are and sometimes they’re not. Is there a cooling off period after they spawn before they can be damaged?

And why aren’t they targetable?

From what i noticed you need to wait for then to “spawn”. After when Belka loses an X amount of hp the barrels explode and then become targetable. But if you wipe on the first try the next time you run back all the barrels that exploded are targetable. So if you wipe once the second try is easier.

The barrels also respawn after a certain time, so you have to kill then again.

Yes… it’s the dying and returning for a second try that made it seem so inconsistent!

Is it sad that I solo P2 all the time and I’ve never even thought about this?

Belka’s Burning Berrals, love it!
got another one
Belka’s Bugged Balls !!

Wait, people actually kill those? But.. there’s a boss right there to be killed instead.

For solo runs, I think it helps to understand when they’re destructible so you can position yourself to cleave them away — this allows more room for error at the end of the fight.

For a party, I doubt there’s any need to bother with them.

Thief can heal off them quite nicely

Yeah no need to destroy in a party. It does help to destroy them if you are not an experienced solo though. I am still most comfortable playing it safe when doing the solo for it so it’s really nice for me.
