I’ve failed it 4 times now with a party. It seems that there never is enuf time to jump over the tree trunk and get the orbs (I think that’s what they are) back in time. Is there something that I’ve missed completely here? Has anyone found a working trick to doing so? (In a few mins, i’ll be running it for the 5th time… * it’s sort of killing my patience).
Why is it taking you a few minutes between attempts? If you’ve got time to come to the forums and type up a thread between wisp attempts there is some serious slowness going on.
The traps don’t move, figure out where they are and jump over them. Have non-running groupmates run interception on mobs, use runspeed boosts and teleports if available.
There is a small element of luck that can result in getting totally destroyed by tree spawns, but most of the factors at work in this fractal are controllable.
This is possibly the fastest fractal if you get the hang of it, here’s some advice:
1: if you’re running a wisp, bring speed boons, stability and maybe condition removal.
2: a Mesmer with portal can help a lot, drop portal at the columns and one at center before wall.
3: if you’re familiar with US football, think of it this way: the wisp carriers are like runningbacks and the other 2 ppl are like blockers. The blocker ppl run ahead of the wisp carriers to get aggro from mobs and maybe eat a trap or two that the carrier might not see. Typically put the blocker ppl with the wisps runners that are the farthest out.
This fractal gets harder so now’s the time to learn, scales 10-19 have 2 walls you potentially have to get by as opposed to 1.
Also, after a little practice, you can figure out which wisp locations are hard for you, and which are easy. You can pick up a wisp, then immediately drop it to reset the locations until you get something favorable. This will cut down on the amount of time you waste.
