Guild Wars 2

fighting the boss today, I realized that in phase 2, lupicus sometimes will shoot a stray bullet without a red ring appearing in between shadow walking and shooting an array. And when shooting an array, I still get hit even when I’m not standing inside any red circles…

Its his direct attack, it has nothing to do with circles and it has always been there. Watch your surroundings and dodge it, or stand in melee range so he cant hit you with it.

Well, this should be his direct attack. It is easy noticeable, cause he is watching straight at you before launching it with a motion of his hand. Dodging it is easy too, as long as you have endurance. Many times i use my dodges, avoiding his circles. The only way to avoid them is to dodge or stay out of his range. If you stay out of the circles, but there is one behind you – you still get hit. They also have bigger explode range than the circle.

When he looks at you and flicks his hand then dodge it, it’s a zig-zag projectile not a AoE attack. Alternative is staying in melee range and he’ll overshoot his projectile.

The red circles is just the landing spot for his aoe projectiles. If you stand in between him and the landing spot you will get hit even if you was not in any circle.

These thing is not broken, the only broken is that Lupi spawns a grub near him and he intant Shadow Walking towards a player, eating the grub and making impossible to avoid the Empowered buff….

still instant Kill! Overpowered!!

He does do a single target nuke but what these guys are failing to recognize is that the aoe circles lie. You can still get hit by the aoe shots while standing completely outside any circles because the zig-zag the projectiles do sometimes make them land to either side of the aoe circle. This is easily testable. Stand outside circles, see that he doesn’t shoot his single target nuke at you OR dodge that nuke, land your dodge outside of any circles, still take damage while watching the single target nuke miss you completely.
