Guild Wars 2

Boss is itself OK but it is kiten too much boring because;

- Toooooo much HP
- Even too frequent and long INVUL state
- It even more and more long with people falling lava (no WP , im fine wtih no WP)
- You cant even res ppl in lava near you juz they taking lava damage while dead

This boss is really designed to be extremly boring.

I agree that it does have a lot of life and he becomes invulnerable far too frequently. It’s a long fight with a dodge every 10 seconds.

I was a bit happy with the torch nerf they did to p3, but that path is still too unbearable to do. I’m not saying you CAN’T do it, because you can, but it is just unbearable. The boss isn’t the only issue unfortunately.

I’d say the boss in CoF P3 is the only low point of that path. I did it for the first time with a group that’d never done it before, so we got to learn it together. It was a fun fight, but once you learn it, it’s rinse and repeat… And repeat… And repeat…

It turns into a function of time spent, rather than one of skill. A simple hit point reduction would fix this one.

Are you kidding? I love fighting that boss. The ripple wave he does and having to dodge it is cool.

Did they do any major changes to that boss though? Cause every time I ran it none of my party members fell in the lava, his attacks are pretty easy to avoid.

yea but since he runs to the middle, hes not attacking so they made him invuln that way you cant just DPS him as he uses his knockback skill. the whole way of him using his special ability would have to be changed if this fight were to stay fair

Remove his invul and all will be fine.
It’s a pain to fight him with condition build now.
Other things in this path are fine to me.

this + they told us to make bosses easier while taking away WP in fight, but instead they make ’em harder (taking longer → more prone to fail one dodge) as well as the Magg-protecting in Path 2 – not only do the mobs still hit hard but now there are also those assassins ..so how is that any easier oO

The boss is OK except that getting knock into lava mean you are finished for the rest of the fight.Because you can’t revive on lava

I found him to be my favorite boss in CoF. After learning to dodge, he’s real fun. Reminds me a lot of something from Spyro/Crash/Sly Cooper. He didn’t take too long to kill either when I did the path, but I haven’t been in CoF p3 since before the Ancient Karka. Not sure if his HP got buffed, or if its just people on your end not understanding dodges.

Quick edit- This guy is totally almost Dingodile from Crash 3. “Break out the buttah, ‘cuz you’re gonna be toast” lol

Just doing this path right now, been stuck on the boss for 30+ minutes just due to the lava getting knocked onto and not being able to revive. This is the only dungeon path i am against the no waypoint if in combat. The title says it all, he goes invun and you can do anything except dodge which is stupid, why should a boss go invun to get the chance to 1 hit one of your team members if not 2. I think if the invun was taking off it would make it a lot easier.
I do give credit to ANet for being one of the first MMOs to make lava actually hurt you but in this case it ruins the level.

p1 about 7 minutes, p2 about 15 mins, p3 so far taken us 40 minutes and havent defeated boss.

Hes stronger than zhaitan

half of the time he is invulnerable…really annoying. what were you guys thinking ?
+the 1 kzillion hp to take out…

Position yourself so if you ever can’t knockback because you couldn’t dodge, you land on the ground or near it.

And nearly every dungeon boss is stronger than Zhaitan.

I just came back from HotW Story Mode,

talk about damage sponges.
