Guild Wars 2

Now I have done CoE a couple of time and there is something I have noticed with Alpha on the very last part. He tends to go idle at..

1. The entire fight
2. At some point of his lower health (say about when 25% remaining hp and stay idle for the rest of the fight).
3. He stay idle at most of the fight, then suddenly happen to fight back.

Now I don’t how this occur or why it does happen, but if this is not intended to happen at all it better be fixed. It rather better to have a boss you know function 100% rather then having a “50/50” chance where he goes idle at all.

And this happen to all three paths.

I’ve actually reported something similar where he stops doing any of his abilities except spawn essences for majority if not all of the fight.

This happened to us last night. It was annoying, but at the same time refreshing and only for the last 10% or so. Didn’t last long but we had some laughs over it.

He sometimes throws a grub. I have heard killing that grub causes lengthy stun for him (backed by some experience).

Yeah, if you can kill the grubs fast enough it stuns him, and then immediately after coming out of it he tends to do another one, which you can focus and kill THAT.

We are pretty sure this has to do with the black globs that try to come and heal him.

They’re supposed to stun him for a decent length of time, allowing the party to do a free burn on him.

However, more often than not he’ll still spit his essences even while stunned, allowing the party to keep him stunned indefinitely. I liked that this was the case, as it made an ordinarily arduous boss fight a bit more easy if your group is competent enough, but alas.

If something, add stun effect to Alpha while he is stunned.
