Guild Wars 2

So since the last patch the dungeon where u have to break the seals to set the giant free is way too hard.
Everything ok until last boss.. Mobs spam like hell when he gets dazed for the first time and they do tons of damage.
We were able to do it at difficulty 14 but only with a well coordinated group and on skype.
Its way to hard to do it with the average PUG and its kinda bad waiting so many hours to put a good team together..
The number of mobs that spawn may be bugged I dont know..

Oh, best thing to do is this strat:

1) Beat on boss til he drops hammer, 4 chanters will spawn (the other adds a bit later)
2) Someone pick up hammer and you guys all target fire a chanter that is NOT a vet (very important that it’s not a vet) and that the guy with the hammer gets kill credit
3) The guy with the hammer should click on the seal run up close to the seal and hit it with skill 4. Missing the seal is a no no.
4) Aggro problem solved. They all disappear when the seal is hit.

Now the boss phase 2 is a bit ridic. But just stay spread out and range him so his flashing light move doesn’t agonize you.

So that’s the strategy to not bug out the boss fight? Don’t kill the veteran? If that works, that’ll be great.

I’ve been having trouble with that fractal boss because something like 50 enemies spawn and the boss is attacking you all at once, but then the whole boss encounter gets screwed, the door doesn’t close, the enemies don’t despawn, and so forth. I’ll keep that in mind next time I encounter this fractal (probably tonight…).

If you want to be super organized, you can all stack up on the Seal with the immunity bubble when the person with the hammer is breaking it, so you don’t get stunned.

This will different people to pick up the hammer each time, since everyone has a personal 2 minute cooldown on the immunity bubble.

As for the adds spawning nonstop, I don’t think it’s a bug. It just means you can’t hang out in that phase and kill all the adds before breaking the seal.

That’s a bug.

The way around it is to lure him into the side room (there is a room on the right from the perspective of entering the encounter). You fight him there. He drops the hammer, you run into other room, kill a mob from the side, break the seal, and run back into the side room to continue fight. You will get a few adds but not the unreasonable infinite hell spawn.

Rinse and repeat.

I can run with you tonight Eve :P as long as you do 14 or below

Also, I’ve done up to 14 doing this strat, and they’ve always despawned.

Presumably the adds are supposed to despawn once you hit the seal with the hammer, rather than be the infinite hell-spawns that they are now (I think I have a screenshot on my machine of >40 enemies on-screen in that boss fight at once).
