Guild Wars 2

Ever since the update where you can not revive when someone is in battle, it’s made some dungeons pretty challenging, and some parts next to impossible.

I’m not saying that lupicus is impossible, he sure isn’t, I’m just saying that maybe if you implemented that rule, then some bosses could use some changing to make it agree with the reviving rule. Countless times have Arah runs failed because we could not pass lupicus and the host would leave, voiding hours of hard work to yield nothing in the end. A simple change to the damage and mechanics of the bosses in certain dungeons could easily help with suffering from the new rule.

You appear to be a leader of a guild so why not go with them? This might help you and your guild even https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Arah-Vet-here-to-help-you-with-Arah-runs/first

Some sound advice – make a guardian. I don’t have much of a problem reviving my team back up even when I’m the only alive at phase 2 with it. I have resolute healer trait, retreat, virtue of courage, shield #5, focus #5 at my disposal to revive. One good guardian can make this battle not so bad. I tend to run with 1-4 people that are brand new to Arah and can’t remember the last time I’ve wiped at him.

I’m glad they didn’t change the fight any though. I get to find more groups stuck at lupi now and get tokens quicker .

Judging from your post that you’ve kindly linked, you seem to know your way around Arah. The only part that we get stuck on is lupicus, we just can’t seem to clear him, and it always ends up with people leaving to the point where we can’t fill the position and have to abandon it. Therefore, I was wondering if you could find time in your schedule to take me for a run, to learn the in and out of the mursaat and/or forgotten path.

Lupi is not hard to most players once you have his pattern down and a solid plan.

Watch some youtube guides to get familiar with his attacks

As a Ranger I do this.

1) Trait for toughness and vitality
2) Get off the Omnoberry bars. Use food that increases downed health. I’m not logged in and forget the name but look up the one that gives 100 percent more downed health. This eliminates instant kills.

3) When one goes down. One rezzes while 3 kite him in a different direction.

4) Search and rescue skill actually works good here.

5) Use the sigil for plus ten percent against undead on your weapons.

6) use potion for plus ten percent damage against undead. this potion also gives minus 10 percent damage received.

This helps me win against him.

Trust me I know your pain. Subject Alpha has my number haa haa. I stink against him.

Keep trying. He’s fun once you have him down.

I can go with you and some of your guild regulars if you would like. I’ve done that with a few guilds and they seem to have more success with it after going with me. I’ll just pm you if I see you on and we can work something out.

Lupi is the only exciting fight I still have in this game. I am glad many teams which don’t have enough skill can’t get past him. It’s satisfying because once I was one of them. Go and learn the mechanic, go and learn your profession, go and learn how to dodge. Do not, I repeat, do not come here and ask to nerf a fight because of your lack of skill.

Not so much a nerf, but when my most recent party was fighting against Lupicus, he would only seem to target one of us, kill us, and then once they were finally revived, drop whatever he was doing and simply go back to slaughtering the one person. The damage he does is fine, as it is an endgame dungeon, it would just be nice if the boss could once in a while switch targets maybe ;_;

Bingo. Our dungeon group use to struggle with Lupi in the early days but now that we all know the mechanics of this fight pretty well, he’s no harder to fight then Kholer.

@ the OP: Everybody has a what-the-kitten-rough experience the first few times at any boss, thats normal. But please please please, practice before you make reports on unballanced encounters.

NB Side Mini dungeon tip: Make or get yourself into a steady dungeon group with atleast 2 or 3 good friends who will almost always be with you when you’re doing dungeons. This way, your entire group (or the group core atleast) will learn these tough dungeon encounters (like Lupi) together instead of making random progress and/or picking up bad habbits in pug/meta groups. Also, and most valuable, your group will build trust with each other – There is nothing more scary then going into a tough dungeon encounter with a group of people you don’t trust. I keep telling my guildmates that GW2 is not just a test of skill, it’s a test of character aswell.

That’s actually good though. While he’s concentrating on one the other 4 nail him. If you notice he’s on you a lot turn away from him and run and dodge (found this on a video). If you die, team go’s to 3 1 revive strategy I outlined in previous post.

If he focuses again, repeat.
