Guild Wars 2

So we have some changes to fractals that clearly did not make it into the patch notes like the ice elemental in dredge fractals.

With 10 AR being near impossible for some classes to make it through this boss at lv20 and 15AR being doable but very hard (unlikely full group with just 15AR will have much success even if know what they are doing and good players) I wonder how we are suposed to get this extra amount of AR before we hit 20?

I went to try to solo in the swamp for the last shard I needed to infuse another ring but the trash no longer dropps anything so I can not even invest hours to get the one shard I need. I know they do not and should not expect us to grind till the boss and reset till we get enough shards to infuse and have enough resist to continue…

Has the drop rate of globs/vials/shards been increased to help us deal with the changes? I can dodge most all the bosses agony attacks before patch but unless I am dodging before the circle is on my screen you can not avoid the ice ele’s agony now, and unless you spend 100g on upgrading your back you cant complete the daily if you get this boss and some others sound like have had similar changes…

I dont get what the devs were thinking.. I would suggest a change so we can get to the next level easier, or make the aggony changes increase every 5lvls not every 10 allowing some time at 20 to get shards to infuse to progress. Of make 1-10 no aggonly 11-20 10max, 21-30 25 ect so you can enter the next tier for daily to get the item you need.

Now I know in a month this will be less of an issue once we have enough laurels to get the amulet, but we dont have that option yet.. so why the change now?
