Guild Wars 2

Alpha 1 – Insta cast the spikes that do 80% of my health. He was doing them every 2nd spell. I am melee but the spikes still hit me even though I was strafing.

Alpha 2 – More instacast spikes and chain blocking the same guy. Not sure if that is supposed to happen.

Alpha 3 – Random 100% healing when he glitched into a block. More instcast spikes and more chain blocking.

The Berzerker – After about 80% damage on him, he completely stopped interacting with the columns. He would run right next to them, into them, all around them, inside of them, and still no knock down. We had to dps it with his armor up.

We lost a lot of time and gold with this buggy mess but we got though it. Needlessly to say there was a lot of pain and strife. Please fix. $(

Last time I tried that run people left the party.

Also, at Alpha 3, after he summoned slugs to heal him he kinda stood there for a while. If that is a glitch, don’t fix it till you fix the other ones please. $(

All paths 1 and 2 are easy….path 3 takes a bit more coordination.

Easy whey they are not bugged.

Alpha 1 usually I just solo melee him to death. And Alpha 2 and 3 I would need group members to help getting me out of crystal from die zerging. I dunno but it seems really hard for certain spec and classes out there. Some say ranged is better choice but I definitely find meleeing has the most survivability.
But anyways, the boss mechanics is stupid enough. Literally it is just spamming 4 script lines
1. randoming dropping a lot of spikes on ground, no cooldown
2. randoming pushing out earth spikes, no cooldown
3. crystallize a person randomly, recast again after one down or got out
4. spawn essence to heal by a time interval
Once you find the way to beat these 4 scripts, then all you do it repeat what you do for a whole long fifteen+ mins

You have to dodge roll the spikes, they’re pretty much the only thing that makes meleeing Alpha tricky. Berzerker I’ve had that problem before, but we just reset him and it stopped from happening.

Also, I’ve never taken more than 2-3 minutes for any Alpha. Don’t really see how you could take 15 minutes on a single boss?
