Guild Wars 2

Don’t wanna complain to much here, but i just ran Arah path 4. Had a great time and probably haven’t had this much fun in a while, so we are killing our way trough the dungeon, joking and having a blast with the content. We have never done path 4 before and even if it was a bit hard we didn’t have much problems. Then at Simin we get problems, we knew from the beginning that this boss was hard, but no idea until we tried it. First try was a disaster, we had no idea how to work together, second try went better. But something was still wrong we could not get Simin under 50% HP, no matter how fast we got the sparks in place and how fast the party killed the boss she always got invisible at 50%, just like in phase 1. This happened every time, after 20 attempts we started to give up, the dps check was not the problem neither was the regeneration, but we could get her lower than 50%.

So my question is this a bug or what? its clearly not meant to be like this, anyone got a clue what happened? My toughs was that this was a bug, some tough we needed to kill even fast, anyway it resulted in us giving up. Also might add that sparks went for illusions i spawned with my mesmer and elementals our elementalist spawned, dont think this is meant to happen either

Even if we didn’t make it to the end, we had a blast and it was a very fun and challenging dungeon that i will run over and over again if this ’’bug’’ get fixed.

no, use the search button.

You need more deeps, get 4 warriors and 1 timewarp mes.

we used 4 glasscannon warriors and a mesmer to start with, got her at 60% straight down to 50% then reset, happens multiple times. Then we started to get frustrated and tried different things, thats when elem came in.

several things

1. Your warriors are glass cannons and dont know how to maximize dps.
2. Your warriors are not actually specced for dps regardless of glass cannon armor.
3. Your tear thrower leaves people petrified too long.
4. Your party is too slow at bringing in the sparks.
5. You should use the search button to post in the millionth thread about simin.

Dont think you understand, the problem wasnt the dps or regen, the problem was that simin went invisible at 50% no matter what we did. If she startes at 60% she wou ld go away at 50%, if she started at 100% she would go away at 50% like she was stuck in phase 1

I dont think “YOU” understand. Look at the thread with 200+ posts on it regarding this same topic. Simin will restealth at 50% if you let her regen up to 60%. That’s a spark running problem.

If your party cant handle the spark running, do the 4-1 method.

Let me get this clear, you couldn’t do it with 4 warriors and a mes? Then you need an ultimate dps party, 5 commandos.

Were you there? No, this was clearly a bug. And how are you suppose to get the sparks into the slots before they spawn? First thing simin did was to go invisible and regen to 55/60% while sparks were spawning in, so she gets stuck at 50%

Have you learned to use the search button yet? I suggest you do so before haviz continues to enjoy himself trolling you.

Yh, browsed a bit before postiong. Nothing seemed to match what we found. But please add if you find anything close. Regret not taking screenshots:-(

She regens 1% hp per second, and after 60%, she’ll stealth again at 50%. 4-1 method ensures you unstealth her in 1-4s.

Not really, in this video they failed at 1st spark run and she reappeared at ~75% but they were still able to damage her beyond 50%.

Yeah that happened to me as well a few times couple weeks ago. When I did it again last week, it would restealth repeatedly at 50%. So honestly, I have no clue if anything was changed.

It might be that you have specific time to get her hp below 50% after she reappears, so if your dps is quite good you can do it even with 75%.

So any other class can never ever pass this and get Dungeon master, great mechanics that then..needs a fix..

Every combination of the classes need to be able to pass 100% of this games content, or we need the trinity back.. at least that worked..

He was giving the poster an optimal scenario for killing Simin the fastest, easiest, most semi guaranteed chance there is due to problems he had at first. Ive joined a group that was only 2 warriors (Coulda been less) and killed her and it is definately do-able with any DPS classes if you follow enough tips in other threads. The more pre-cautions and extra little steps for damage you take, the easier you can mold it to any team.

If you know how to play your class, you can damage her fast enough within the time period so that she won’t stealth. Thieves, engineers, necros, guardians, and maybe cat or bird-using rangers should be able to do it fast enough if they know their class (ranger is a stretch). Elementalist won’t be a detriment if they’re making 21+ stacks of might. Mesmer’s honest only use for the fight is time warp, and after that their best DPS comes from hacking away with a sword, which isn’t awful truth be told (yes having 3 iDuelists is great, but they’ll usually get gibbed by Simin’s random AoEs, or attract spark aggro on accident). Necros can drop both damage wells when she reappears. Thieves can be thieves (their sustain is mediocre, but their burst is, well, they’re a thief after all), and engineers.. well, if you see your engineer using a pistol or flamethrower, the easy solution is to right click → kick from party. Otherwise he should be halfway smart enough to do decent damage.

I was making fun (aka t*******) of him. Every combination of classes can work, but not every combitnation of builds, eg. 5 condition damage dealers is really bad idea because of how conditions interact with each other. But that’s not dungeons’ flaw, it’s game mechanic flaw.
