Guild Wars 2

Coming from https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/suggestions/Dungeon-Boss-Arena/

Leonsky.3156:

Similar to the Queen’s Gauntlet arena where you get to choose which monster to fight you can practice your class skills in the Dungeon Boss Arena.

Some Characteristics of the Arena:

• Players will have the option to choose which dungeon boss they would like to face and give it a difficulty from easy, medium, and hard. (Hard mode is probably going to be for the Hardcore Veteran Players lol ).
• Each boss will be in their respective environment (For Ex: If players pick Lupicus they will be teleported to the center of arah and prohibited to leave the boundary and go explore the dungeon.) this way veteran players can teach new players how to use the environment to their advantage.
• The bosses in the Arena will not drop any loot because their sole purpose is for players to practice their skills/builds on the bosses.

New players can practice their class builds/skills and become more familiar with the boss mechanics. Instead of players going into the dungeon for their first time not knowing anything about the boss and having their Guild/PUG members finish everything and leaving the dungeon with little to no knowledge about the boss mechanics they can practice in the Arena before going on their dungeon run.

Benefits of the Arena:

• Veteran players can teach new players their group style of killing different bosses without having to spend extra time skipping dungeon trash mobs for a teaching run.
• New players won’t have to wait for a group to run dungeon to practice on the boss.
• Hardcore Veteran players can choose their favorite bosses to solo/duo (Ex: Lupicus) and record their personal record.
• Experiment with new builds, trick, and skills that will be most effective without having to worry about holding your party members back.
• Allowing some of us to do something instead of standing in Lions Arch.

Since this post was archived and most likely not read by devs, I’ll bring it back to the Dungeon Forum this time, since it is an amazing idea.

Yes please.

Don’t forget to add marionette wardens. Queen’s Gauntlet bosses returning would be lovely too.

+1 Awesome idea. As much as I’m usually doom and gloom about LS I actually really enjoyed Queen’s Gauntlet (Why was it temporary!? >.<) also the Marionette wardens would be nice to solo as well, granted that first one (blocks all frontal attacks) would be tricky.
Not to mention the time that would be saved when going for boss records, ie clearing up to Lupi’s chamber, managing to aggro something when killing aboms/get god awful pathing RNG and have to wait 6 years for that Illusionist death god to move out of the way.
