Guild Wars 2

Seriously, if you think 82 is hell, try 94.

How do you complete these? The pre-final phase (with the forearms) is just ridiculous. Even with Defensive fractal potion, defensive food and toughness gear it seems nigh impossible to complete, especially with PUG’s…

Any hints or tips?

I did 94 a few times to help friends with their archievment. Heh.

The best thing is probably just to take classes that have a lot of burst, lure the chanters in the hallway and burst them down. You should have people that can reliably carry the hammer without dying when running in like a war with defiant stance or something with enough stealth.

You should keep pulling the chanters as much as possible and run between the seals without taking breaks to keep the seals from being repaired.

Obviously all the stuff that’s good to get arround fast between the seals like portal, shadowtrap or JI+MI works well for that.

Also if you give yourself retal you risk a wipe so that’s something to look out for. Guardian is still pretty useful because the traps are really good burst and are pretty strong against trashmobs.

To be fair none of the parties I completed 94 with were LFG-tool pugs though. :<

Go for left side first, have one guy camp in the tunnel close to the right side.
2 hammer runners, as therunner comes close to the right side have the camper aggro to give the him safe passage.

Take it slow, don’t overpull and be sure not to stack too much agony on each other.

The most fool proof way is to destroy one of the seals fully (usually left as Snowball says) while letting the other regenerate between hits, that’s how i did it with pugs the first time i cleared it, and about another 3-4 times after then with both pug groups and guildies before i changed guilds. It’s obviously slower, but if you’re having trouble completing it then that method should be very reliable to just get it over and done with.

Haven’t done this one in months though, i don’t think i’ll ever do it again with how boring the higher levels can be.

get the hammer, kill one guy, hit the seal, run to the other side repeat, don’t clear the sides, kill ONE guy and run to the other side, done.

Nice to see that there’s some challenge in the later fractals. I’m going through them with a dedicated group 1 level at a time and am looking forward to hitting this one now. =)

Reapers can tank 1 side solo. Im pretty sure Daredevils aswell as Scrappers can too.
So just by keeping agro on one side while having the other 4 players running hammer and what-not was probably the easiest way to do it.

Completed it in 14 minutes pre toughness nerf using this strategy.

Biggest problem for us was having classes geared up with more optimal utilities for this.
In the end, we finally succeeded because one of our friends geared up his Scrapper n used the Stealth Gyro.
The rest of us kept agro n kept killing mobs in the hallway.
