Guild Wars 2

On a good day, I can beat swamp fractal in the same time it takes to kill this one mini boss. It’s not that he’s even difficult. If anything, he’s mindnumbingly easy. The problem is the sheer drudgery involved in killing him. His HP is extremely high and he has his shield stance that artificially inflates the time it takes to kill him. Additionally, you have to deal with a very large amount of trash adds either before or after you kill Rabsovich.

And what do you get out of it? A handful of relics and some 50 copper worth of vendor trash blue/green items. The power suit/elemental can be killed faster and that gives you a chest with a large number of blue/green/rare items.

I’d love to see either his hp cut by around 20% or the amount of adds you have to kill reduced drastically. Cutting his hp would be preferable since the adds drop heavy mining bags which are far more useful than the nonsense he drops.

Am I alone in my misery?

Nope you aren’t alone. This entire fractal is just a pain, with all the trash mobs and a million veterans all with insane health. It’s easier to kill the mobs before you solo Rabsovich, but again, takes time.

I try to bring null field to remove his protection buff. He doesn’t take that long to kill it’s the insane amount of adds that take quite some time. It takes around 15minutes just to kill the waves of adds at level 40 in that time you can complete another fractal.

The champion ettin and flame legion shaman also take a ridiculous amount of time

I don’t think so. If you have a boon removal and have some dps in your composition he goes down reasonably quickly. Rabo is a boss before another boss. Could be that I see him that way, kind of like grawl with two boss’.
