Guild Wars 2

First time playing necromancer. Fraps started freaking out near the end, most likely because my HDD was getting full and it cut around 30 seconds. Kill time is just about 15 minutes.

That is a pretty stanky tune. I must know the name of it.

Hidden Pistol, nice!

Updated the description with song titles.

Just now i’ve realized i could change some traits and give up stability on death shroud for some better traits and a much faster clear, but i just can’t be bothered to do this again now. Of course i could just wait until next friday so i get +10% WvW bonuses, which would have sped up the kill by at least a minute or two.
It might have also been better to use +60% might duration runes instead of scholar’s(since necromancer self healing sucks monkey bud) w/ blood is power(10X ~20s might w/24s cd), but hell no i’m not going to bother replacing a full set of scholar runes now. It’s also possible to replace hidden pistol with flesh wurm, but i thought i’d make use of this little racial that almost nobody uses.

Charrrrrr x3
nice one sir.. first solo with racial skills

Nice. I was gonna work on mine today, atleast I know the time can actually be fairly respectable with the traits and skills i will be using.

You make me proud to attempt and accomplish this on a Necro, too many warriors/ele’s doing it.

I have a stupid question maybe, but it bothers me.

Phase 3 why is Lupi doing only 3 attacks (melee, drain, and aoe drain nothing more) ?

If stand still at a close distance to him, he won’t use the bubble.

If you haven’t noticed he’s never using his AoE either, not just a lack of bubble (something that would be highly undesirable on a Guard or Mes solo). I think it comes from being inside his circle while he’s against a wall.

I actually didn’t notice. I was too busy jamming out to the stanky tunes.

You can see this as well on Syn’s thief video. It’s probably easier that way on classes without reflects.

It causes more aoe lifeleeches to occur, so it’s slower than doing him in the middle.

This is what I thought at first, but I wanted to be sure.
Never had a chance to play a full melee pug with him.
(melee… pug… get it?)

I didn’t actually intend on making him behave like this, but i set myself the goal that i wouldn’t go to eat breakfast before i finish this solo, so i took use of this opportunity.
I’ll rerecord it in the next few days with a better build and not at the wall. Maybe.

Doesn’t actually need to be on a wall, there are places in the center where you can keep him immobile while you’re inside his model. Also, gg on the solo very nice time.

Those spots in the centre tend to backfire a fair amount, depending on the spot I guess. Sometimes it makes Lupi start cheating and he hits you with the single projectiles

Yeah sometimes, but usually if you have teleports (sword 2 on guard/thief) and you find a sweet spot, you can ride it out until he’s dead. Of course it is not beneficial on a guardian, but still. I was actually able to hold one down for all of phase 3 in my most recent warrior run.

Update: Now with 100% less “easy mode”, hidden pistols and screw ups!

(12:10 minutes)

Really nice Ill deffo have to practise hard if I want to beat that :d
