Guild Wars 2

Hey all, I just did cof path 1 two mins ago and the final boss is unkillable, forcing me and my team to quit. The boss is buffed to the point where it heals too much beyond the dmg dealt to it. My team even started to kill off the crystals but they just spawn too much and too fast.

Most of us have dps build so its definitely not the problem on our dps. What trickery is this anet??

Just thought I did post this up to notify all

As usually with random groups, just facerolled few minutes against him and he died. We didn’t even have poison.

Did this one a few days ago and it was really easy. We just ignored the crystals and nuked him. The setup of your group can make a big difference I think. You say you got 5 dps builds, but how about boons? Dont underestimate support builds I’d say

Killed him last night, the entire path 1 run took 15 minutes.

Same as rickets, took 20 minutes for the whole run.

Either your group dps is really bad or like mentioned you dont debuff him enough.

For the crystals he consumes them to gain health but you really only want to destroy those that spawn near him if you need the extra help.

If you have enough dps though (poison is very good against him) you don’t really need to destroy crystals at all.

Yes I asked my friend and he did cof path1 two hrs ago, while I did half an hr ago. Yesterday runs are fine for me as well. I’m a veteran for cof explore and there is something wrong with the boss which I knew straight away(its normally downed in what 5 mins?).

This happened within this half an hr or so. Dps wise, I’m a GS guardian on dps build and has 3.2k atk, 15k hp, 2.3k armour (definitely no problem here). My party seems normal so they cant be too bad on dps.

There is definitely something wrong with the final searing effigy boss. Its buffed to heal too much beyond killable like I’ve mentioned.

Dunno, he was fine last night.

I’ll see if it changed when I run it tonight.

Hmm I’m pretty sure they didn’t change anything about that boss today…

You sure you didn’t by any means allow him to take more crystals than usual, cause if he eats lots of them he’s going to regain ton of health.

I hope some of you guys will try it out right now, and tell me if its like what I’ve said. I’m really confused right now, I’ve done so many cof path 1 runs easily. This is ridiculous :/

i have tried it today at at lunchtime, no problem. Maybe because i’m playing ranger, spamming poison trap and poison arrow :/. But it took us about 2 min to kill him. Nobody was killing crystal. But you know that this game have some bug, maybe it was one of them.

It remember me one try on Giganticus, yesterday, donno why, but during about 1/2 min at the begining of P1, he did loose any HP, and reset while we was fighting him 2 time during P1.

Just did hours ago, nothing special.
I ran with random people, finished the dungeon anout 20 minutes.

done this about 10 times all with just random pugs and we’ve never had a problem, don’t bother with crystals and he will drop like a rock. 15-20 minute run tops.

Nothing changed here, finished him post-update in under 10 minutes as usual.

Maybe you were just unlucky and had a ton of crystals spawn really close to him at the start :/

Hello, yeah I had the same problem yesterday where it took us about 15 mins to kill the boss. However the following group I had didn’t take as long, but still a noticeable difference :S

Still the easiest path of the dungeon. We steamrolled him just a couple of hours ago.

You can’t kill this boss on 10/24/12 and you’re complaining? Good thing he got nerfed a few weeks back or this thread wouldn’t have been nearly as funny.
