Guild Wars 2

That PUGS can utilize and wasnt patched? Have you guys found anything? For any path?

Seriously, I will pick path 3 (Easiest path other than 2…) and everyone will wipe at the Wraith Lord Crusher :/ Either they pull a bunch of trash mobs with him, or they decide to go full kitten D/D elementalist or sit-in-one-place guardian and sit in the middle of the poison that is always around him. I kept telling them to stand back out of the poison and watch for the 1 shot move, but alas, idiots still insist on trying to facetank him. Then for the next part where there are idiotic amounts of mobs, someone always assumes we’re going to fight them and pulls them all making the skip impossible.

Thank god I havent gotten to Lupi with these groups…

I think it should be a general rule to bring a ranged weapon into Arah. Im a D/D elementalist is not an excuse for dying in 5 seconds on every boss.

Tldr; is there any strategy that can prevent this? Anything? I love Arah, but my guild never wants to run it… so that leaves me with PUGS.

Look up the Arah running threads and all your worries will disappear.

I have a good strategy. Don’t run with idiots.

I just did a P3 semi-pug yesterday. 3 including me are guildies and 2 are pugs. And it was one of the smoothest runs I had. ofc we all know what to do, even the 2 pugs, you know they are experienced.

My first ever P3 run was a PUG too, a complete PUG. But one of us was experienced and he explained everything before each boss. And that time we only took 1h15m iirc.

All you need is a patient leader and 4 patient listeners.

I tried to be a patient leader, its just when the people don’t listen to logic :/

“If you stand still in close range he will one shot you.”

“Stfu noob, im a d/d elementalist.”

Could take the lame and easy route to path 3. This is not the fastest way but it is the safest way for pugging. If you have a guardian I would suggest using it.

Mobs in first room – pull them back and fight them at the npcs at the parameter

Mobs at door – have one lead them back behind the spikey thing on the wall around the corner to group them up and kill them fast

Crusher – have all stand on the platform in the back corner and aggro them killing crusher first and hope that he doesn’t run up

After crusher – wait for the patrol of 3 to run up and then run to next boss. a theif stealthing before running would be great and you won’t have to wait for the patrol to run by. hug the left wall when the path splits. run up the left wall past the spider spawn that is next to boss to ditch them. After that whoever is left just stand at the bottom right of the platform facing the boss and range since he won’t attack

orbs – make a spread line and pass it along

room – hope no one aggroes and run along the left wall to the corner and put up a wall of reflection so turrets kill each other or shoot them from the corner

lupi – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ25Ts2LAuk

after lupi – run down the one way path yourself to get the wp and have others wait till they can wp

before boss – have light/medium get in seperate circles towards the back of them and not attack. have heavies round up the ones that aren’t the boss to the middle

boss – avoid breath and stand in white circles to get rid of corruption. hopefully people can dodge that and you won’t have a bunch of wraths added to the fight

How did you manage to find people who aren’t abusing this Khyber ?

I can tell you how I do it.

It’s simple, you just kick everyone who goes near it. I recommend you have at least one friend with you.

I’d be happy if i had pugs who are using melee weapons. In general joining 3 War 1 Guardian teams as Mesmer and beeing the only melee then. The best thing getting the teams attention and make them follow your instructions is to show them what to do. Killing the Hunter so he won’t shoot the poison field anymore and then meleeing the Crusher dow. Just run through yourself to mage crusher (important: using the legit way) and if people can’t do same, kill the Mage Crusher wuickly. If this did not bring you pug’s attention, go on and melee Lupicus. Your team will probably die so you have to finish him off yourself. At least the endboss should go well then, when you tell them to stand out as long as you need to grab all aggro.

All paths are easy, even lupicus can be soloed … joke dungeon and since when this game has tactics? oO

Easiest way is to find some bad players and find safe spots to range everything so you are in no danger of taking damage. It really helps to increase your skill.

An even better way is to grab tons of projectiles reflects/absorption.

Actually, facetanking Crusher is the easiest legit way to do this fight. You generally have to kill Crusher first, if you kill Hunter first he often resses. I generally melee Crusher to keep aggro on me and everyone else stays at range. The poison does minimal damage and he has a long tell for his melee OHK hit. Just dodge or walk to the other side of him when you see the tell. You need stun breaks in case the Hunter has you stunned.

Or you kill the Hunter first to get rid of the poison field.

And Hunter Immobilizes instead of Stuns.

And poison field actually hurts.

Well, laharl does arah on a guardian last I recall, and it’s true that on a guardian AH built with soldier rune it doesn’t hurt all that badly. My mes and war can’t really stay all that much inside that poison field unless the group has a lot of constant group cond removal.

Perception on whether something is a threat or barely tickling can change a lot depending on your build or group composition.

Also explains why he may have not realized the nature of the hunter’s attack, if he runs soldier’s runes every single shout also acts as cond removal so a “stun breaker” shout will still remove his immobilize.

It definitely helps if other people are healing and removing conditions from you. But yes, I should have stated I run guardian, so my build may be tailored well for this fight. I run Knight armor/Zerker trinkets with Soldier rune set.
