Guild Wars 2

All of our past kills of Priestess Simin has been achieved with everyone running sparks, DPS her rinse/repeat strategy. She would usually take 2-5 rotations of spark runs depending how annoying the sparks behaves.

After reading about how she is able to be damaged while hidden we decided to try if we can actually down her without using the spark mechanic at all.

Here is the result.

We actually didn’t expect this to work, notice I have no food/potion poped. If this is indeed intended, she just got downgraded few levels in difficulty.

I know you’ve been killin’ her longer than I have, but we’ve found it easier to just get her in a corner of the room, and when she turns invisible, 2 people run off to grab sparks while the 2 DPS + tear person all wail on her. She doesn’t really move in health much during that period, and it seems to go quick enough. 5 damage method seems to work pretty swell though, I’ll admit.

How are you so handsome?

I recognize that laugh at the end, its the laugh of triumph.

It could or it couldn’t maybe her stealth works the same way as a theif for example if you stealth as a theif you can still take damage just that unless you attack/run out of stealth the enemy can’t see you. I think maybe if they wanted her to be attackable while invis they could have made here phase out like that mission with the priory the 1 before claw island with the asura and the undead scout

If her being able to be damaged while hidden is indeed intended, then the difficulty of obtaining a kill using this strategy is about as low as killing any other non-Gigantipus boss in this instance.

There is virtually no execution required, the DPS requirement is almost non-existent (I believe you can keep her health stationary with just 2 people), our tear break out was very poor and uncoordinated and we were missing 15+% more group damage from food and potion.
