Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

After wasting a LOT of time on HP Simin I decided to do it with this so called “brute force” tactics, recently levelled a warrior to 80 and now it got some gear too and I have a thief friend for poison. So all we need to make this happen is 3 other ppl with warriors. Reaching Simin shouldn’t be a problem, we can “rifle down” Lupi without any problems what so ever.

So, if you would like to join us in our pursuit of the DM title and you are playing in euro times and you have a decent warrior for the job don’t hesitate to sign up in this thread, or just pm me in game. (we are both Arah veterans, we usually don’t mind teaching first timers how to do things, but this run is definitively not about that..)

Lol I do this path daily with pugs and you dont need all you’re just limiting yourself to potentially good players

I realize that a party composition consisting 4 warriors and a thief is not required, but I strongly believe that this way we cannot possibly fail :-). Getting a pug together for this is really hard and I would rather not waste an other 10 hours of “reaching 5-10% then it healed again kitten #8221;. The good thing about this also that you don’t need good players, with this tactics we can just go in and get the achievement, end of story. It may be pathetic, but I believe Simin has lots of broken mechanics and I just want to get this done.

It’s not needed to have a party with 4 warriors and a thief, but it’s very useful to have a thief for the poison tho.

Basic tactic for low dps groups is like this:
-Gather tears
-Assign a spark running, a 2nd spark runner and make sure others know how and when to throw tears

-Bring him to 45%
-Trigger stealth have 4 keep dpsing him
-Have the first spark runner hand in 4 sparks and leave the last spark (do not aggro it) and then run back to the boss
-He ll probably be over 50% again when he destealths

-Bring him to 45% make sure the first spark running is close to the remaining spark ready to turn in it
-Trigger stealth
-Turn in the 1 spark it should destealth her
-All dps

-When he goes stealth again both spark runners go hand in sparks while the rest keeps beating up on him in stealth (work together so you dont reset sparks and cover more ground)

If done correctly and without bugs you should be able to eat away at his hp during the nonstealth phases just enough to get him down in a couple of nonstealth phases. If he goes above 50% either your dps sucks or your spark technic need work.

I ve done this with very low dps groups, but it does require a bit of practice and people need to make sure not to go down from the aoe fields/stun.

Good luck and sometimes the sparks bug a bit so just work with it and eventually you ll get it.

I guess it’s a matter of luck to not get bugs For us at our best try she went away to heal at 25% ,after that at 15% and after that at 10% and after that at 5% and after that at 2%………….. and after 2% at 5% again and after some time we ran out of the 32847239847238947234 orbs we have collected in advance :-) I don’t want to count on not encountering bugs, I’m just not that lucky, ever. I saw a Youtube video, where they had worse dps than our party and they still managed to down him after a single healing phase and it was not a matter of better spark management.

So far so good, we only need one more warrior and we are good to go.

I’d be down for this, if you haven’t already left.

One thing to note, if you are playing on an US server, even if your schedule allows you to play at around 21pm GMT, the game doesn’t allow you to play dungeons together with EU players. I’m getting a lot of whispers about this, I’m sad we cannot play together with US players at this time.

I’m happy to report that we managed to get this party going and successfully cleared path4 in about 2 hours. With this “pathetic” brute force method we downed Simin easily.
