Guild Wars 2

So I tried out the mesmer solo, turns out its not that bad, most of my build can be found in the video and description, rest can be messaged for.

Well played! Looking forward to 12 min run.

Dam you beat me to it.

Same. He was a bit fickle with my clones and buggy for me. Anyways, job well done!

Congrats! Very surprised how much the illusions helped you. Always expected they would have made it harder (grubs and added lifesteal).

Also surprised you let him stay in that one door during p2, everytime I left him there for more than 5 seconds he’d go and reset himself :S. Also, do you know if you can block the grubs in p1? Always wondered about that one

Grubs are unblockable but avoidable, like ranger traps. The one that spawns during transition is unavoidable, not even invulnerability helps there.

Well done.

I now summon Rob in this thread to congratulate the guy and answer this question:

The one that spawns during transition is unavoidable, not even invulnerability helps there.

Why? What was the rationale behind a final unavoidable grub?

People told me that the grubspawn would have been annoying, but lupi mostly targets the person with the most damage/toughness, although the toughness was the same. Because I shattered the illusions quite often, and they were destroyed by the swarms, lupi didnt really get the chance to target them during the first phase. (when I sometimes started with an illusionary warden I had to reset him because he instapopped a grub on him)

the part with the door is history I think, before last patch he was able to reset, however, I think that is no longer the case.

He shouldn’t use grub infection on clones but when you start with summoning a phantasm from 1200 range, that phantasm will be his only target because his aggro range is smaller than that.

Reset can still happen near that door, I got it twice in a row yesterday while soloing.

Aww, I go on vacation for a week and miss out, oh well. I knew it could be done with how immensely useful Feedback is and the invulns galore we get.

Thats good/bad to know, depending on the way you look at it, anyways thanks for the info, I seem to not know as much about the theory behind lupi.
