Guild Wars 2

First off, who even decided to design a boss like this? Really? Our group made it all the way to the end without problems and this boss cannot be killed unless you have the perfect set up. We had 2 rangers and 3 warriors and it’s simply impossible to kill him and a complete waste of time to even run through path 1 of CoF. He spawns hundreds of crystals that all heal him and they fall from the sky with .000000000000000000001 second of response time for you to dodge. I just don’t understand. Horrid design. Just horrid.

Perfect setup? You just need poison + dps people, that are the only necessary things about this. I did it yesterday with 2 guild mates and 2 random people – we had no restrictions about class, etc. However we had: warrior (me, dps), guardian (dps + stability), mesmer (support), necro(poison + dps), ranger(poison + dps).
We simply ignored crystals and went full on boss. However some people say that this is doable by normal tactic – some people on crystals, some on boss + 1 must have poison.

Without guy having posion in team don’t even try to go there.
And crystals are fairly easy to dodge + proplem disappears if you have someone with stability buff in party, or have it by yourself.

Just think! and use some basic tactics. It’s not so hard.

Hey! Thats the exact same set up I beat that boss in on my first try!

If you are ignoring the crystal and manage it do kill it, you can be sure it will get a fix.

3 warriors and you didn’t manage to kill him? Were they poking him with teddybears? 1 GS warrior is enough to “carry” dps for whole group on this fight.

If it helps read my couple of posts on how we pulled it off without the nuke tactic (which didn’t work for us either):

Killed him the first time i ran path 1…. Haven’t manage to kill him since then. Always the same thing.. Nuke down to 60% then piece of cake until he reach 30% and then just a big amounts of failed attempts to get him down the last 30% until a party member gives up…

Poison and nuke is the way, but still, this boss is really a pain in the a**
