Guild Wars 2

Hello, i plan on doing Arah today so could you please update me about it?
1) Do i need story mode completed?
2) Which paths are working.
3) Which paths are easier/harder?
4) Is there anything you would want to warn me about.
Thank you =)

Be ready to a long trip. Don’t go if near lunch/dinner.
If you’re in a pug, pray. If you see party members of the same guild, leave the group immediately, they are gonna scam you kicking you before the last boss.
Use ventrilo/teamspeak if possible (helps a bit)
Wait tomorrow, you could end up quite disappointed receiving 8 tokens or less (even 0), rewards are bugged. And no, you don’t need story mode completed until your leader entering is on exp mode.

Don’t bother with Arah explorable if it’s a PUG. Average PUG takes hours upon hours, constant wiping, most probably being blocked at Giganticus or the Wraith.

Jotun Path is somewhat bugged, with no waypoint at Shoggoroth, and it’s one of the hardest and longest. Forgotten path is easiest(?).

Unless you’re organized and coordinated, with TS/Ventrilo, in a group with no leavers after 2 wipes, you shouldn’t do Arah exp. Stick to farming AC and TA exp with just about all other casuals to save yourself from the frustration of no rewards or, if you manage to get through this beast of a dungeon, 60 tokens at best.

Lupicus is easy, if you play as team, but I usually only see bunch of solo players. It just wants some sweat practice. I usually sleep on him last days.
1) Dont let him eat any of the grubs (every stack +1000 power and +1000 defense)
2) Keep max range, unless u like risk a bit for increased dmg.
3) Evade charges, they do knockdowns.
4) Evade green bolts(noticable with red circles on the floor)
5) Very important is revive fallen allies, but its not worth to risk saving friend for your own life cost, which can actually leads to wipe. Be sure u wont get downed while reviving. Some proffesions have revive on range. Use it, when teammate is about to die and u cant get close to revive him with F (default button). This can really save the day.
6) Remember, once he falls to 50% HP, he becomes easier again, so dont slack DPS.

P.S.: I suggest you to group with any Guardian. Lupicus is childplay for him with all the blocks, protections and heals.

Goodluck & Have fun ;-)
