Guild Wars 2

Got into an intense discussion with someone who I feel didn’t know much about the game, wanting to ask the forums’ opinion on this one,

1) Do dungeon mobs scale down, meaning if a person leaves, do the mobs get easier? (I said no)

2) Can you 2 man any explorable mode in any circumstance? (Again, I said no here)

What’s your feedback?

1) No, mob levels are fixed. YOU are scaled down to the level of the dungeon but higher level gear at your level will give you a bonus to stats. However, wearing lower level gear than your current level will actually make you weaker than an equivalent toon at the recommended level. Also true for general PvE mobs.

2) Yes, but it would take much longer. At least Caudecus’ Manor Butler path is soloable given the right spec/many projectile reflections due to the mobs an bosses all heavily relying on projectiles. Twilight Arbor up path can also be two-manned due to bosses also relying on projectile reflection there though you will have to skip the trash mobs there since they are harder than the boss fights :P

1) No.

2) Yes. Depends on player skill / knowledge of the dungeon. People have done paths with 2 people faster than 95% of pugs who run that path.

1) No
2) Yes. E.g. Arah Path 3 is doable with only 2 players.
