CoE tutorial all 3 paths. We will be running each path slowly and carefully, explaining enemy mechanics, with successful and reliable strategies.

Come and join if you have questions, want to see a really great completion or just want to experience some fun GW2 streaming live.

We will be running dual PoV Warrior/Guardian, all strategies will be demonstrated in a Guard/War/Mes + 2 group setup but will be applicable to any reasonable setup. Whether you run CoE frequently and just wish to improve the quality of your pug runs with some reliable strategies or even if you are entirely new to the dungeon there should be something that can help your runs.

All vids will also be available as a VoD on twitch.tv afterwards so if you miss it or can’t stay for the duration you can always check it out later.

Can I come on mah necro? I wan be on tv!

This dungeon is easy if everyone does two things:

1) Stack on Alpha
2) Properly dodge his AoE ice attacks (don’t need to on Path 1)

3. Turns off melee attack assist and has aggressive melee summons either pacified or removed (cannot disable their melee attack assists).

Aplha has 5 attacks total that I observed:

3 circles “.oO” from the smallest near him to the largest.
deal huge damage, rises his hand before it (but that’s not his only attack when he rises his hand), can be avoided by hugging him

AOE Circle with flame fang upon player
attack on ranged mambers (didn’t obseve this when player go all melee), hits hard, can easy “walk out” of it. It’s only dangerous when You are down or in crystal

AOE spiked circle
Has 2 rings. You just stand inside the inner circle (safe zone), outside deals damage and inflict 6 bleed stacks

AOE ice spike circle
Need to dodge out of the inner circle, it can be mistook for spiked circle if peaple are stacking.

Tomb
Aplha put a random player in a crystal prison. Can be smashed or it can be scaped with any kind of teleporting skill like Thiefs “steal” “shadowstep”, Mesmers “blink”, Guardians “Judge’s Intervention”.

The difference between Ice Spike and Rock Spikes are in the “white texture” in the inner circle. Rock Spikes got it whiter and much bigger, while ice spike is more watery color and smaller.

Thats new to me, why is melee assist an issue? :O

I’m more like quessing but if You are not “in the boss” You can still get hit by his smallest of 3 circles in path 1 and 3, becouse “Melee Assist” blocks You from running throught mobs or enemy players putting an invisible shield near enemies.
