Guild Wars 2

The last boss doesn’t seem to go down in my last run :o
We literally can’t make a dent in his health, and took us like 10 mins to get 5% down after killing all crystals.. seems strange?

Anyone relate?

ignore crystals and just focus him

Honestly the crystals have so little of an impact anymore that you should just DPS focus the boss. Put poison on for optimum results because it reduces heal potency.

It seems like your group suffers from a complete lack of DPS, or you have some kind of glitch I’ve never seen before.

Just hug the boss. Ignore crystals. My guild usually does this:

1. All attack boss and dont give single kitten about crystals
2. IF you get downed, kill one crystal and rally

Done this path last night, the boss is still soft as tissue paper.
Seems like a glitch if you can’t down him in 10 min.

Thanks guys – mm strange, ye i’ve ran it many times and just dps’d him down – easy.
No idea – best run it again and see if it was a funny moment

If your DPS isn’t high enough when focusing totally on him, make sure at least one person is supplying poison. A D/x Thief or Necro would help.

After the nerf this boss is incredibly easy. Ignore the crystals and go pure dps on the boss.

Here’s what you need to watch out for:
1. Red circles. Dodge out right away or you’ll be knocked back and lose control of your character.
2. Boss will wind up, then smash the ground. Always dodge this, because this attack stuns you.
3. When the boss move his hand forwards, it means he is going to do a flame attack. Not incredibly important to dodge this.|
4. When you see one big red circle, boss will do a big AoE attack that applies burn. This is important because when you are burned you take more damage from other attacks. Dodge this or use condition removal.

In my opinion this boss is really fair because his attacks are telegraphed well. So just keep practicing and you’ll get it soon.

I’ve experienced the OP’s problems with this boss with my guild. When iPUG him we usually tear him a new one, though. Strange.

the only time to hit crystals is if you go down, it’s a few quick hits on one to rally
