Guild Wars 2

So any attempts at arah p4?

I reached Simin with a pug before the update and we (obviously) failed, mostly due a massive lack of dps.

How doable is this path now? (assuming we pug with non “arah experts”)
From the update notes it seems that besides all the bosses having lower hp (at least i assume it works for most if not all bosses) only sparks were updated to allow a faster stealth break.
Is that enough to break the high dps check of this battle and allow for more defensive groups to finally get this done?

Explorable: Fixed issues that may have prevented events from starting or ending properly across all paths in the dungeon when an NPC was potentially dying, reviving, or being interacted with.
Explorable—Seer Path: In the Dwayna fight, the sparks will now target players primarily, and their attacks have been adjusted in a way that should make them chase the player as initially intended.

I just did it with warrior, guardian, thief, necro and necro (blue/green gear).
No worries, nothing really changed. If you sucked with it badly pre-patch you will still suck at it.

Where did you read that bosses have less hp?

troll post is troll….

anyway heres a more helpful post. My party did it after the patch, full guild group so all of us where on vent. Breezed through everything, due to the no rez rushing we had to actually rez anyone who downed/died on lupi. No big deal. reached Simin and it was just bad because we couldnt get the sparks in the totem fast enough.

I believe this sums it up:

Dam wish i was on for free tokens and a chance at that recipe.

How is he trolling? o.O

I was that thief he mentioned, he was a warrior and we had one guardian and 2 necros while one nec had blue/green gear with 700 achievement points. Is it really inconceivable that you can actually do it without omgweneed4warriorsandtimewarpbot?

Shard drops some kind of recipe? I got one from Operative Brie.

Bloodstone shard recipe I believe? correct me if I’m wrong.

Those shards were going for 80g before patch, who knows if they were actually selling that high since the supply was minimum.

Oh, boy. I think I’m gonna look for “need 1 more for simin” posts on gw2lfg.com. My recipe solds only 15-20g.

Granted you are one of the better players out there so not exactly any indicator of avg players.

Well, I was praying 40 days and nights to the goddess of luck. Guess it helps!

Well, my point was that nothing was really changed.

Some people complained that pets messed up the sparks pull. Wasn’t that fixed?

From what I’ve seen, sparks follow you more closely but they still change aggro if someone would get near them.

Perhaps, but sparks are bit easier to pull now. That change won’t carry bad groups though.
If you have people running around aggroing sparks, tear-thower sleeping (or no thrower at all), runners sleeping, well everyone sleeping, you simply can’t do it.
