Guild Wars 2

Did this one today. First go and managed it fine, but I noticed that no matter where I was, it seemed like his scream would get you, randomly even if dodging. I was behind him and he would get me.

I would have thought it only mattered if you were infront of him, but everyone in my group was on shotted a few times by him just screaming and getting random people.

I noticed that the howling guy was much more reliable in avoiding him.

Bug?

Haha, did him with a group of friends a couple days back. We found it hilarious that his scream had this magical impossible to tell hit range, but I do agree that it seemed kind of weird.

His scream I think hits in an AoE forming from his mouth, as well as a cone extending outwards. The issue is that this AoE circle also extends to his hind legs. The safest place is probably next to his tail while still in melee range.

From what I understand it’s an absolutely huge 180 degree semi circle from his face.
Max range, stay to his back or dodge behind him I think we’re the intended solutions.

That guy and his huge face laser of death is amazing. I hope it’s intended, gives me something to look forwards to when I run that place.

His scream is a roughly 180 degree arc centered at his midline.

Yes, you are immune while dodging. I’m not aware of any attacks that hit dodging players other than environmental dungeon traps.

The best advice I can give is that he alternates between his channeled rockfall ability and his scream, and he stops turning for 1 – 1.5 seconds prior to his scream. When he finishes his rockfall – or starting as soon as he unburrows, if he used rockfall immediately prior to burrowing – pay attention, stay in melee range, and be ready to dodge behind him. Executed correctly it is possible to dodge 100% of his screams.
