Lupicus solo guide G/M
Video doesn’t work or at least not on my phone.
I take it that you did this on path 2?
it was recently uploaded so I suppose it will be available on phone soon, yes path 2 is the easiest if soloing, I usually have some people tagging along nevertheless
Nice guide, sadly the video always stops at phase 2 mesmer start.

What exactly happens? I am personally not having any trouble with it whatsoever :/
I guess it’s just specific to my mobile phone, at 19:28 it just stops playing, the screen turns black and the loading circle appears.
Though, what i always wanted to ask you is why you are using the greatsword. I feel a lot more comfortable using the staff, especially in phase 3 where i can take mirror images instead of mantra. Mirror mages works out very nice in phase 3, Lupicus often seems to have problems targeting, giving more time to prepare for his next move.

It sounds like a good idea, I have been switching the gs(it was scepter first), trying to get a faster performance, but frankly, because of the condi damage of the staff Ive never really gotten used to it. Ill try it out sometime and see if it gets a faster result, but on subject of safety Im pretty comfortable on the mesmer, getting him down 9/10 times at first try. The signet can also be changed for mirror images actually, you can still survive plenty bubbles even with using the blurred frenzy+ doubledodge technique.
I also use Blink instead of the signet. :p
Staff isn’t really that much of a condition weapon in my opinion. It scales pretty well with berserker gear and the conditions from the AA’s are more like a damage increase to iWarlock than being important themselves.
9/10 sucessfull solo’s is impressive, it’s more like 1/50 when i’d count my statistic.
45+ of them will fail by lags/dc’s but still.
What is that Blurred Frenzy + Doubledodge technique you mentioned?
(edited by Dub.1273)
Dodge inside bubble.
Loved stand your ground in slow motion, best part!
Won’t you still get 1 tick of damage then in the time you need to adjust your position?

I suppose you may indeed get 1 tick of damage, but with the omnomberry ghosts its easily recovered, I still find it a reasonably viable technique. As far as the staff topic with the warlock on the staff, I do agree on it in normal situations, however the warlock will be killed quickly when at lupi(especially if soloing) and this would result in lower damage nevertheless.
If you stop doing anything while in blurred frenzy I’m sure it can negate 3 ticks of damage just as when lupi lifts in the air.

I doubt so, blurred frenzy provides 2,5 seconds of invulnerability, so if the bubble ticks come each second once that would only let you migate 2 ticks, but anyway.
When still getting 1 tick of damage, wouldnt blurred frenzy + one single dodge result in the same, just not wasting 50% endurance?

Going by the idea that the bubble ticks you 5 times(not completely sure if 4/5), dodging to one side(negating 1, taking one), dodging the other side(radius big enough to not get damaged while negating 1 tick) and then using blurred frenzy while getting a small amount of endurance back, is the idea I had in mind, Im pretty sure you should think around the idea that blurred frenzy only blocks 2 ticks, for it will only get 3 if very well timed.
Oh i see my fault now. I’ve been thinking about 4 damage ticks instead of five, where blurred frenzy + one dodge would work out as taking 1 tick damage taken.
Blurred Frenzy invul actually lasts a bit longer than the buff it comes with – as long as you don’t press any button or auto-walk / auto-attack. I always negate 3times his life suck move (when he lifts in the air) and both of these attacks seem to have the same pace.
I should give a proper try to this and let you informed of any useful information.
Just as I saw a Guardian completely negate his AoE’s for phase 2 just using Zealot’s Defence to the point where there was no red circle on the ground.
Anyways, good guide. I believe if I had a Guardian or a Mesmer I could easily do it after watching the video.
