Guild Wars 2

So, I’m going through Fractals in order with a group of friends and our next one to hit is level 39 with the Last Laugh instability. This one seems to be known as one of the (if not the) worst ones. In addition to any advice people have, I have a few questions:

1 – Does stability work to prevent the knockback?
2 – Do evades work?
3 – Can it be blinded?
4 – Does it help to have more people with ranged dps spread out?

1- Yes
2- Yes
3- No
4- It depends. You can range DPS if you can maintain aggro/snare on the group of mobs. It is painful in Cliffside when you don’t have much room to dodge.

1. yes
2. no (im sure, just tested)
3. no
4. depends (imagine cliffside hand seals ranged)

Though it’s been some time I went through 39 on my way to 50, iirc it helped a lot to just pay attention if something near you just died. If so, dodging right away should get you out of the explosion range since they blow up with some delay. As long as they didn’t change something with some patches, this should do it.

The most fun instability, you can’t evade the explosion itself but as written above, you can dodge quickly when they die to get out of the aoe.
Last time I did this we got uncategorized and cliffside. Laughing way too much whenever someone got bombed off the jumping parts after killing a harpy

To be honest, this instability is entirely broken in Cliffside and Dredge.

I suggest you skip 39 and just do 40 instead…

i actually like it but it should be the lvl 50 instability, it makes the game at least somewhat challenging.
