Guild Wars 2

I have done over 16 attempts at this in the last day, with more than 16 groups due to people leaving and being replaced. Every single time, we cannot clear the chest seal. The combination of fire zones, small area, and the enemy-explode-on-death instability makes it almost impossible to stay alive long enough to use the hammer. In all those runs the seal has never dropped below half health, despite reviving over and over until inevitably one r more people leave.

try stacking on the side where you arrive on the platform, not right under the seal
if you havent tried that yet.

Guard with aegis helps with exploding mobs

59 was indeed challenging but not undoable. Things to bring along:

- dodge – exploding enemies are half as dangerous if people dodge.

- use space provided – chest seal is not that hard when you know that you don’t have to stand in the middle of the plattform. Stay on the side where you arrive, pull enemies to your group, have 1 person with hammer run in and smack seal then retreat, cover with reflects if needed

- stack with care – exploding enemies make the usual stacking more difficult and usage of line of sight of enemies becomes more important without the entire party stacking on 1 spot

- seals only regenerate when wiped or enemies are left to channel. proceed slowly, let the team regenerate if need be, don’t get wiped

Guardian’s Hallowed Ground, Stand Your Ground and Mesmer Inspiring Distortion are a huge help for our group when I run it

A healineer or druid-healer or healementalist can help sustain the others. Compared to anyone I know that heals, I’m a weak healer, but even I can keep anyone up (as long as they don’t <grrrrs> dodge out of the healing AoE</grrrrs>).

Anyhow, main thing for the OP:

• It’s very possible.
• It takes rethinking tactics (and builds probably).

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

You must be unlucky. Did a 59 yesterday with a PUG.
Just don’t go YOLO melee and stand in the middle of 10 dying mobs.

With my necro I’m staying top floor alone on one side and can survive Indefinitely in lvl 94(highest possible cliffside). Its super easy fractal. Make better builds, don’t go as squishy zerk. And ofc pick better players for your party

Yeah, but 59 has the exploding enemies problem. It is, IMO, the hardest Cliffside level.

To the OP, you seem to be quoting yourself. You said almost exactly the same thing in the Thaumanova thread. Follow the advice I gave you there in Cliffside. The Wiki clearly explains how to avoid the flames, leaving you with only the exploding enemies problem.

You do realize there is a stark difference between boon thieves, and social awkwardness, than exploding mobs right? Everything in the 90’s is cake compared to that on a necro. Simply due to how little stab we have.

My necro is full valk and never EVER falls below 80% hp in 90+, but has been killed plenty in 50’s. The instability is a big difference. To even compared the two is stupid.

If you think it’s impossible now, you should have seen it before. heheh

This argument is just laughable. It turns out you can’t complete it, only because you can’t move out of red aoe circles or dodge. Well, nobody can help you, sorry.
What about you don’t stack and stay there to die…
/sigh

its not impossible. lvl 59 is really easy (to me – average player).. even doing it the first time, it wasn’t hard either… maybe I was playing with a group of friends who knows what to do or work as a team. don’t stop trying because it isn’t impossible.
