Guild Wars 2

This may have already been a thing and i may be uninformed but after getting the green aura around you is it possible to dodge his grub. As in you mess up dodging his hand going in the air but then you dodge when he spits out the locusts and the grub and you escape the getting the grub on you? A couple of times when I’ve solo’d lupi i’ll mess up and get the grub on me but I’ll dodge right when I know its going to spawn to move a bit farther from the locusts. I get knocked down but no grub appears. Maybe people already knew about this but its new to me.

Interesting, I’ve tried but haven’t been able to. I usually just pop a stability or stunbreak.

Sometimes when you don’t dodge the grub attack and get the grub debuff, the grub will just flat out not spawn, regardless if you dodge again or not.

I’ve been told there is a way to predict when this happens, but in my experience it has been rng.

My bet on what was happening in your case: random non-spawning grub.

Its probably due to lupi having maxed out on his swarms. He has a cap on how many units he can spawn so example, if you trap all his swarms behind the wall, he cannot summon anymore swarms or grubs.

Ahh those two reasons might explain it. The most recent time was with my ele and i wasnt really paying attention and had a ton of swarms on me. The other couple of ties it was just me and lupi tho, no swarms between us just two old buddies so maybe i just have good rng
