Guild Wars 2

Seems like there were changes to a few bosses that don’t show up in the patch notes.

The most significant I saw from tonight outside of AC is in Arah 3.

The Crusher/Hunter are significantly different now.

The Crusher has a large AoE heal and constantly revives dead risen, which includes the hunter and the group of 4 mobs at the closed door area. This means for speed runs where you only kill the first 4 mobs, you can’t pull the duo up to the door area anymore.

The Hunter now has an additional large poison AoE field and charge up projectile which can be reflected and is a Champion mob instead of a Legendary.

Because the Crusher has other skills now, he doesn’t spam his insta-down crush move as often. You can actually just focus the Crusher and ignore the hunter and use any projectile reflects you have. If you are organized, you can just time your condition removal incase you get immobilized and just full on dps the crusher quickly.

So the mechanics are quite a bit different but if you’re organized it’s actually quicker. Doesn’t look like anything changed for other bosses in Arah 2/3 though.

Yup, posted in the Dungeon discussion about this. It was.. interesting to find this. Haha, boy was the part surprised, but it was still a pretty decent fight. That poison cloud makes it hard to see Crusher’s telegraph at times though, I wish it wasn’t so thick.

Was it really THAT hard to document every kitten dungeon change?

ROOOOB!

Also did they touch Lupus? Tell me they didn’t touch Lupus, I need a new world record tonight.

Isn’t that like the 3rd or 4th time they change the first part of arah3?

Lupicus seemed somehow very passive on phase 3. I got bored halfway. Perhaps I got unlucky.

Lupi was the same in my runs last night, we ended up doing the speed clear video that I’ll have uploaded today.

They did touch lupicus, they made him see through stealth. He’ll pretty much camp the person he has aggro on regardless if they stealth or not till they pop out of stealth. Lol….

Using stealth no longer resets NPC aggression tables.

That Crusher/Hunter change was a “pleasant” surprise for my guild last night. Caught us all off guard and we almost wiped. Twice. xD

Yea luckily some other people in my guild did it earlier in the night so I wasn’t caught by surprise. But they definitely were when it first happened to them :p
