CoF path 1 secret buff?
We’ve been running this path great with no problems. I don’t know what bug you speak of but I have yet to see it. When he spawns crystals we have one person break off and take some down right around him. As long as we can keep his regen under 8 stacks we have no problems.
yea, usually thats how we do it. We finally beat him but it took almost 10 minutes, had 3 on crystal duty, other 2 just pound on him. trust me, i’m not sayin the sky is falling, but something is def different about path 1 tonight .we’ve all been experiencing a lot of issues tonight with path 1 and 2. during path 2, one of our party members got kicked from the party on his end, but to us was still in the party. he could whisper and talk to us, but none of us could talk back. if anyone else is having troubles feel free to chime in.
well, path 1 has already been tone’d down to an acceptable level, its not that easy, and it is not that super ridiculous kitten that it used to bee, with his 25 stack and like unstoppable heal >.<
It was just unusual. I’ve run this path a lot before and usually he’s no problem at all but tonight it was obvious that something was very different.
Yep, there has definitely been a buff. It was kinda expected though considering that before the buff you could practically just ignore the crystals altogether.
Just need a little bit of planning now before you take him on. ^^
Did this yesturday (about 8 hours before OP), didn’t have a problem at all, in fact it was easier than usual. Could it have been party make up? I’ve been in some groups which really struggle through lack of damage but last night we killed the boss in record time (as far as my groups go). Can’t recall 5th member but team was Mesmer, Necro, Thief, Guardian and I think it might have been a ranger or warrior too.
Did it earlier today it seemed as easy as usual.

Nope, ran it with the same group as always, could tell the difference right away.
Perhaps the crystals where just bugged before and not working properly, so it only felt like a bit of a buff because the crystals where now functioning properly?
Just did it same as always. Apply bleed/poison and you can forget about the crystals.
Done it again, seemed easier than usual. Definately don’t think there is a buff.
I’ll post back here after i run it again tonight. i think we hit a bug of some sort, because like most say, he’s usually super easy and only takes a few minutes to beat.
did it last night, didnt bother with crystals

Yes, had this problem with my AC run yesterday too. Two different party members suddenly said they were no longer a part of our party on their end, and we had to re-invite them. They were ninjabooted individually too.
Also, earlier in the day, we were doing a HotW run with some other people, and four of the five of us (I kid you not) DC’d over the entire course of the run. Lag spikes were hitting everyone, even though no one outside of our instance was having that problem. Then NPCs would repeat their dialogue no less than four times. We all agreed the run was cursed, and just quickly killed the Butcher and left with our tokens. (One poor soul got 30, too. )
No idea what was going on there, but it was really odd.
