Guild Wars 2

Just an observation that I made. Look up the word “invisible” and think really clearly what it means. Just because you can’t see her….DOESN’T MEAN THAT SHE’S NOT THERE!

As long as you have enough DPS to out damage her heal you can do it. As in swinging at her when she’s invisible.

That would be one of the few fights where I would feel like a champ in running a glass cannon build with full Berserker’s, instead of my usual balanced build that I normally use in most dungeons.

On the other hand, I’m willing to bet that’s not the intended way to beat her and would eventually get “fixed” at some point.

I see that as a legit way of beating her. It’s actually extremely hard to out DPS her heal while avoiding the aoe bombs everywhere and running tears to remove petrify. The challenge is still there and it’s still a really hard fight. Also when she cloaks, it’s mostly guesswork on where she is.

The DPS requirement is almost non-existent, you can keep her health stationary with just 2 DPS.

The bombs are very obvious and they do so little damage. The fight is extremely boring with the brute-force strategy.

It’s not hard if you have someone that keeps poison on her tbh. It was challenging to do the way they designed it.

thieves learn the hard way that stealth doesn’t mean immunity. people should take note of that and start dropping AoEs whenever a boss becomes invisible.

attempted brute force method with my guild tonight, fail at the attempt, just could not out dps the healing. Feel the whole fight is broken and not well play tested. I’d love if the brute force method was removed IF and only if they make it so the pulling the sparks alot more user friendly. Currently they acted to annoying to bother messing with that method. Compared to other team work fights, this is very annoying and takes too kitten long.

Did the brute force method with 3 eles, a necro and the mesmer.
(Chained poison with the necro, and 2 eles [one with radiation field, one with avatar of grenth or whatever the human racial is] )

I’d imagine its a cakewalk if you have actual DPS classes.

Agree with Air Kagura, i doubt it’s meant to be fough damaging her when invisible, should be just a matter of repositioning of sparks waiting her.

I think you’re meant to give up your dungeon run when you get to her. But people find exploits to finish the run anyway. I think ArenaNet should make this boss harder so people can’t kill her anymore.

What? I still don’t think this is an exploit. Remember Urgoz in GW1? I’m pretty sure Anet did not intend us to EoE bomb him to death. The EoE bomb tactic is extremely cheap and as long as you make it to him it’s a guaranteed finish. The best part is, it’s a legitimate strategy and a very smart one too.

It be ok to make her invulnerable IF they made the sparks behave. The fact that the sparks are so hard to get into the spots is ridiculous. BTW I’d sell my soul for a group to brute force her to death

Meh no need to sell your soul. Time by time you will find a proper list of players to accomplish it

Yeah, you don’t need to bruteforce it. If you know how, it’s not too hard with the sparks.

Does that mean you can damage invisible thieves too?

Yes, invisibility does not equal invulnerability.
