Guild Wars 2

Vale Guardian randomly deals 2000 damage (or more), which is kittening me off since I never see it coming.
So any guide how to avoid these random spikes?

What is the name of the attack (you’ll find it in the combat log)? Vale Guard doesn’t really do “random” damage though, everything has rules.

I suspect Punch, wich is the task of the tank to ‘tank it’ and point the boss his way, (with 9 other ppl on back of boss) to avoid that damage. Basically he does melee attacks (continuous), and the ‘cone’ area he face (very big, like 600-1000 range, but only half circle where he’s pointed at). By standing near a pillar, having the tank stand near pillar, and the rest stand on other side (more inwards of boss room) you avoid punch.

Magnetic shock, does more damage usually.

Punch does about 6k if you have no reduction on you
The Magic Aura is a permanent DoT which should tick for about 2k, which is probably what you mean. Can’t avoid that.

Dodge randomly? =p

In a more serious note, it’s a damage aura that ticks damage over time and there’s no way to mitigate it other than aegis, invulnerability, or lucky dodge..

It hits every 3 seconds so time your dodges properly.

You forgot “/s”. You’re welcome <3
