Guild Wars 2

I want to discuss this boss because I think he is either badly designed or my group didn’t get it.

I’m writing about the destroyer boss of the front door way in Crucible Of Eternity. He’s got a shield that knocks people back, into lava and makes him invincible. There’s platforms that you have to jump over to get to him, with aoe on them from time to time.

Then there’s these 3 lasers far away from him that destroy his shield and actually make it possible to attack him.

So what we did was: have 3 people stay at the lasers and blast his shield away and 2 people run to little spots on his platform that are just outside his shield range and attack him with ranged attacks. This ‘tactic’ worked, the problem is it took us about 20 5 min, just for this one boss.

Is there a faster way to kill him? Because the way we did it, was sure fun. 3 people do nothing but spam f every 10 sec and the rest is down there autoattacking. This fight was pretty much a big furry kitten.

We did this boring strategy too. We had a necro, he was casting his spells (staff) from the bottom of the stairs, and me as an elementalist, i casted fireball from the top of the stairs (splash dmg ^^) Took 20mins for us.. Well basically you should burn his shield then force everyone to jump down the platforms, burn the boss for 5-6 secs and jump back. The problem is someone will fail the jump-back everytime… (Just do it with guildies who have Skype/Ts/Vent etc. Tell jokes while spamming the cannons and 2 casters are spamming autoattack >< and it will be “fun”)
