Guild Wars 2

A friend and I decided to try something to make things a bit more challenging. Little did we know that by duo-ing, it actually made it easier….

I counted so many exploits.

Which were? All we did was use fgs

Wethospu.6437:

I counted so many exploits.

care to elaborate? I’m genuinely interested. Or is this a forbidden topic to talk about?

He talks about corner stacking, might stacking and “proper” use of FGS. Sarcasm at it’s finest.

Also don’t forget class stacking and I think they dodged too.

Blasphemy!

I saw facetanking the spider auto attack to ensure perma weakness and then turned it off.

You mean that thing that was on us for MAYBE a quarter of the fight? Ok folks, guess that’s the new definition of “Perma”.

Their sarcasm was totally lost on you. In fact you missed their point, this is probably their way of saying well done.

I can exaggerate. Its a free country.

Spoj The Second.7680:

I counted about 8 seconds of weakness over the course of a 45 second fight. Most of which was applied during dps down times. Bad troll is bad.

Well done!
I need to make an ele friend :/
btw how much time did it take for the whole run?

Sarcasm is overrated.

Wait till deSade waltzes into this thread.

About 15 minutes, a good chunk of which is the last boss, since there aren’t too many effective ways to kill it quickly with two people.

It’s probably the easiest boss in AC. I’d like to see you DPS Colossus Rumblus fast enough, before Grast gets down and you turn into pancakes.

And, yes, I’ll have to agree that using these common exploits, the difficulty drops significantly. Though the Spider is not that hard to solo and you could probably do the burrows differently.

All I can say is: not impressed. A rather slow run using easymode set-ups and using fgs for basically anything.

Sorry we couldn’t impress you. I’m sure your AC duo video was much faster and utilized much “harder” set-ups.

I love to see Dub in actions, to be honest.

Isn’t doing something for the challenge, complaining to be too easy while using facetank sets a bit contradictonary?

However, yes, I do have some faster duo runs from a few months ago. This is one.
And I even had like 1 second delay, which you can clearly see when dodging gargoyle heads fire balls.

At no point were we going for a speed run or even trying to utilize the most efficient approach to any part of the dungeon, it was simply a test to see if we could do the same content that a lot of 5 man pug groups struggle with, with just the two of us. You skip the set of gravelings at the beginning which without fgs is another 1-2 mins, so your video isn’t even the same content, nor the same group comp.

The dungeon subforum is a tough crowd sometimes- congrats on your duo. But i have to admit I shut off when I saw a s/d ele with signet of air slotted instead of lightning hammer. :P

Maybe try duo ac2 with no los-ing and no skipping kholer/troll? I’m genuinely curious about results.
