Is CM Path 1 Broken?
We did this boss a few days back, he’s not too bad if you just keep your distance, and make sure your team is spread out so that when 1 person gets downed, another can come save him. Using CC’s to keep him in place also helps tremendously when trying to stay at range. Dont underestimate dodging, either, as one dodge can make you evade quite some hits of his frostgun! Bosses always seem more difficult the first time you encounter them, practice makes perfect!
Also, when he starts having the golems fight with him, drop all damage from him onto the golem to make your life a ton easier. n_n
I just had the worst run of my life.
Granted, this was the first time I was doing the dungeon, but CM Path 1 just ate my group alive. We didn’t even finish.
Firstly, we wiped repeatedly on Sure Shot. He just juggled us all individually until we all died. No way we could do that, so we skipped him. We kill the bomber and the stealthy lady. We wipe repeatedly on the room where you pull a thousand bandits. I don’t understand how you’re supposed to beat that part… None of us could AoE enough to take them out before they just beat us all down immediately. So we looked up the exploit, went up around the rocks, and to the final boss.
Frost kicked our kitten
I don’t get how you’re supposed to mitigate the damage he does with his frost. I could barely keep up CONSTANTLY using Super Elixir’s and Elixir R for cond removal and stamina regen. We tried everything we could think of from bursting him and ignoring his damage to kiting to… You name it. We just could not get him down even past half health.
What’s the trick? Is this boss impossible now that you can’t just waypoint back and zerg him to death?
We spent THREE HOURS trying to beat this run and just gave up.
I did all paths of CM yesterday as an engineer. For the first time in my life. I am a newbie in dungeons.
I think you have misunderstood how elixir gun works. Elixir gun #5 (super elixir) provides a rather weak area healing over time, but it has very low chance to remove any conditions (light field combo effect). But elixir gun #3 (furnigate) removes conditions with each tick. To win Frost you just gotta hit hard, preferably from distance.. I was mostly using grenades.
I assume you got a level 80 team with good gear. Try to dodge when you fight against Sure Shot as he can hit hard. Put perma weakness and blind on him.
I hope this helps

i am glad that you are having fun doing the frost one
just melee it, you can’t go wrong.
Aren’t there turrets at frost you can take out? Or is that a different endboss?
The main problem that we were having is that his frost gun was melting all of our health within seconds. We couldn’t take more than 2 frost blasts each (This is me specced to be tanky too, this whole dungeon just melted my health for some reason), and we couldn’t escape because we were frozen. I was the only one able to kite him for any amount of time because I was the only one that could remove conditions on myself and dodge out of the way.
I don’t know how anyone could tank that damage is what I’m saying. Everyone was dying almost instantly. Also, when we focus fired on the golem, it was just incredibly tough to take down. We weren’t melting health like I saw in most of the YT vids, despite 2 of our group being speccd in DPS.
It was just a totally weird experience, from myself getting melted despite never having that happen before, to it just seeming like nobody could do any damage.
