Subject: Dungeon boss emotes / Dungeon boss mechanics / Dungeon fight mechanics / Dungeon encounters strategy.

Is there a dungeon thread about boss emotes / mechanics? A youtube user that has uploaded a video for each boss / encounter? A forum thread that contains this? Or something like that anywhere? It would be nice to have – all collected in one place (including fractal and maybe world bosses/champs).

I am not asking about the best/worst way to kill a boss. And I hope this thread doesn’t turn into that kind of thing. I am asking about ‘How does the boss work? What are the tells?’. Fx it would be nice to have information about, for each dungeon boss/encounter:

1) What skills/attacks does the boss/mobs use?
2) How can you see when a boss is going to make a certain attack?
3) How often does the boss/mobs attack/use a skill?
4) How do you avoid damage from particular attack/boss/group of mobs?
5) What are the best counters (relfect/dodge/block/etc)
6) What is the best potion/food while fighting the boss/mobs?

I’ve checked the gw2 wiki, and the info about his is very sporadic, and when it appears it is not up to date or faulty. I have googled, but I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for. I agree that if you are patient and do a lot of runs, watch a lot of youtube, etc and so on, that you can collect this information. But it would be nice to have it all in one place. Fx this thread.

If this thread already exists, then I apologize; and in that case please give me the link

gw2dungeons.net has information on the attacks of most if not all bosses, including animation details and cooldowns. If you want to see them in action, you can find videos of every path on youtube, and you can find videos of individual fights for most hard bosses— and tons for lupicus.

We have a thread with optimal slaying potion/sigil setups here somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

Edit: Apparently I can’t hotlink. Or edit.

Edit #??: Sigil thread is here, and I have bumped it.

Ty for the link to gw2dungeons.net. Is it a trustworthy site?

… if you want to see them in action, you can find videos of every path on youtube … and you can find …

Yep, I can find it if I expriment, search, watch a lot of youtube (as I wrote). But not as one thread on forum-en.guildwars2.com.

We have a thread with optimal slaying potion/sigil setups here somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

I know. Target made it – a nice dude and he knows the bosses well. One of the reason I want the information collected in one thread in this forum, is so you can refer new players here. And hopefully learn a thing a two yourself.

Gw2dungeons is a site filled with information compiled by the dedicated players that post in this forum, mostly. It’s now hosted by dulfy, who runs dulfy.net, a popular GW2/ESO information site. The site (gw2dungeons) contains strategies for every dungeon path and should be mentioned in our FAQ sticky. If it isn’t, it needs to be.

Edit: Just checked, it is, about halfway down the page. Be nice if it was higher/in the first post of the ‘new to dungeons’ thread as well, but whatever.
