Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if it’s just me but some fractals are just insanely more difficult than others. The T4 Thaumanova Daily today was like 3 times longer and frustrating than the Mai Trin 100. I know that fractal level doesn’t always reflect difficulty, but I feel like some fractals need to be Cliffside’d. Opinions? Suggestions?

The Thaumanova fractal takes some time, because it rewards splitting up the party which most groups do not do. Also a lot of people run on the top instead of on the bottom, resulting in them having to kill a lot of extra mobs. It can be done fast the following way:
- stack swiftness
- (stack stealth/invis) → blast door
- run on the ground level to the spot below the skritt
- port up (ele, guard, thief, mesmer) or keep running to the stairs in front of the heat room to go up
- kill skritt (reflect/blind helps a lot if you are low manning)
SPLIT: 1 Heat room (Norn pref or depending on classes), 1-2 Laser (few classes can solo it, but duo is always possible), 1-2 dormitory (depending on if you want/have to rescue the npcs and the dps), rest run to ooze and start it while the others do their stuff
- once you finished your part run to the ooze and help kill it.
- run to the middle ignoring all adds and port up
- kill anomaly
- profit
