:P I knew this would become a PUG killer.
There’s apparently a safespot btw.
He’s really not that hard. I seem to be lucky with PUGs lately, but if you have enough DPS and dodge his jump (first hit on landing is a knockdown, after that comes damage) everyone should be fine. This is also a very good boss to just get some practice.
I like that change despite the fact that anet does not tell us in the patch notes and that he still drops AC tokens.
I like him and I am glad ANet changed him. Unforgiving, though easily handled. I’d love if ANet beefed up much of the rest of the AFKontent in dungeons such as the troll this one replaced.
We bugged it, just killed the wolves on the bridge and dragged him on to it and fanned out, he does’nt move past the mid point of the bridge.
It’s not even a legendary enemy. Maybe “stack and 11111” complainers were right.
I find the hard part battling the camera down in that little area. I prefer pulling him upstairs, but some groups don’t like that option. I certainly prefer the new fight to the older stack and bash one.
you just have to kill him a different way, my pug wiped a couple times [even with someone leaving after the first wipe even when we posted cool casual cats only] before figuring out we needed to clear that hall first which added 3-5 mins to the run and having a pet and guardian from getting to anyone else, was fun learning experience which is sadly something that alot of pugs can’t deal with anymore QQ.
Every one fails the first time but, now it seems even pug groups have learned how to kill the troll, haven’t been in a pug that failed Troll this week so far.
I think it’s just a case of learning his mechanics and killing him first try will become standard in groups once again. After doing this dungeon a couple of times post patch, I feel like I can consistently dodge his gravity defying jump attack. The cooldown between the leaps can be spent ressing team mates.
there are 2 savespots already, and the boss itself is not too hard. a guard with stab groun, 2 eles with fgs and stack. gg. (disclaimer : only works with good players)
Yup party just wiped for the 7th time in a row because of that troll.
Cheers Anet and thanks for patching it……….
Aw, come on. He isn’t that difficult, I killed him myself and I’m not even that good of a player. (proof – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMZG_Ay0OXM)
Although I do think this troll is frustrating due to the constant fears/stunlock and I find the telegraph timing to be counter-intuitive.
