Guild Wars 2

Figured i’d post the video here. used build was 30/10/10/10/10. I know much faster is possible, but i really liked how this clip turned out, especially how our instance owner swapped chars and we had to rerun and watch the cutscene, hence why it might seem like it skips a bit.

Where’s this elusive U/U path? I can only find Up

Well, even then, it was just up. Lol

Cool video though

I thought all casual up paths were sub 10min?

Lol, clerics.

I did an ~13 minute duo… without even trying.

Impressive ^^

Things that make the run go longer: having no mesmers, having no mesmers with feedback, group not understanding that being poisoned at Malrona is a good thing, people not being able to melee tree, people trying to exploit (jumping puzzles to try and range bosses), ranging bosses…..

Yeah, that’s how my runs with pugs last 20 + minutes

I feel your pain.

I still want to do a serious speedrun someday and see how fast this path is doable. I reckon sub 7 is possible.

Mesmer slows you down.

Interesting. My fastest runs have been with a competent Mesmer.

A mesmer can be completely replaced by other classes that will bring more dps overall. And now due to the harpy feather change im pretty sure mesmers cant do the forward skip so they are not good in that path anymore either

Why wouldn’t they be able to do the skip?

Veil + The prestige + Decoy. 3 stealths to get past the 3 mob packs, and you still have an util slot left for portal if your party members are lazy

Fair enough. My runs are generally casual, I don’t think I ever had an up run go less than 12 minutes though, so what do I know?

:)

They should still be fine for the forward skip. But I never understood lods use of mesmer in up path. Its faster to just have the whole group rush through the first blossoms and mobs than wait for the slow mesmer to portal people.

It was us , and we did it because the other 4 stacked might while waiting, mesmer is a little slower but if we all ran together we would have saved a few seconds but then lost time might stacking after the skip. Also the feather event kept bugging so we didn’t want to wait for everyone to get feathers if i’m honest XD

Ah my mistake. Anyway I was watching it and thinking. Thats so easily beatable.

yeh no doubt it is, even without feathers it probably is

Im more concerned with the blossoms, idk how i would clear it while maintaining the same speed a a feather run, since before i would arrive JUST as my other 4 party members were done killing the 4 archers. There is no way without perma stealth you can do it as fast and as consistently. Unless im missing something.

You can avoid most of the blossoms until you get into the tunnel. And you can use staff for clearing them anyway. Theres a blink spot to skip straight up to the bridge and then you just run along the edge dodging the knights until you get to the tunnel.

Hmm ill have to try it without perma stealth then and see if its as fast by just not being around blossoms, and i was aware of the blink trick i was only concerned about the speed of the skip as it was pretty tight before.

This x1000. I get myself poisoned, cast WoR. I then see hardly any damage done to her, only to realize my great teammates cleansed my poison….
