Guild Wars 2

Collossus Rumblus is a great fight. Thanks Anet for updating him. But the NPC Grast is VERY unreliable.

For a game without dedicated healers, Grast should not be a melee class. He is not staying alive long enough to even use his protective bubble. And when he is alive to do it, EVERYTIME he is stuck in his attack animation with his hammer and is too late to even use the bubble and then he dies because of this.

Please anet, fix the way Grast works. Right now, we’ve tried 6 times in a row. And no community, this is not a L2P issue. It’s broken that we have to rely on an npc that gets downed or isn’t working like he should.

Another thing. When everyone returns to waypoint and revives Grast, he doesn’t even gain his health back. He charges back in to the fight without anyone engaged with Collossus

Grast seems to prioritize him hammer attack before anything else. In the run I just completed, he refused to use his bubble through three party wipes. It isn’t as if he was knocked down or incapacitated, he was busy chargin’ his hammer swing while RC was chargin’ his laser.

Yes i totally agree with you. Tonight our guild do p1 and 2 with no problems (we took 2 new players, one lvl 35 and the other 68) with us. And when we went to the Collossus Rumblus it began. After the first wipe we read and learned about this NPC. OK. We tried to fight close to the NPC and stay into his bubble but Grast didn’t cast it on time and our low level friends get one shot. The other 2 of us who didn’t use break stun skills get down state. The third tried to ress us and died. When we tried to ress him the fight start during that he wasn’t on his full health and died. There were some tries when he even didn’t cast that bubble. It is a little stupid your success to depend of an NPC. Maybe we are not so hard core but it is a game for fun. And i can not image this fight with pugs without communication. I saw a post where a guy sas that we just have to fight close to the NPC and get into bubble when it have to but – does not work. I hope this Grast will have some improvements.
