I’ve done the Aether path when it first came out a fair number of times. I learned the mechanics, some strategies used at launch, ect.
Now months after that patch I gathered a decent number of Keys, so I came back to do it again.

It appear that in this time that passed, players have developed some sort of obvious strategies and builds and expect all random party members to know of them and follow them without communication. If you don’t move instantly to the direction the strategy demands, you get kicked without warning.

so…
What did I miss?…
The party members don’t bother to explain. They would rather kick me and roll and wait for another member. But obviously I can’t learn without someone telling me.
Is there some sort of recent guide to the aether path?
I searched on tube, but I could only find launch guides.

I don’t remember spelling the word “Easter” at all… but I get your meaning. Ignore it! I have dyslexia, so errors like these happen.

Sorry! On topic: try the dungeon mentors initiative (it’s stickied in this subforum) and get someone to teach it to you! Elrey is known for teaching TA AE, but you forgot to mention if you play on NA or EU servers.

There’s really a set way to do it now that dumbs it down enough to be done consistently in pug groups?

Don’t be a kitten on electric floor.
Kill the last stuff.

If you’re a first timer and join a pug group that says “Experienced” then you went to the wrong group.

There’s definitely guides out there. A simple google search got Dulfy’s guide:
http://dulfy.net/2013/10/01/gw2-twilight-assault-aetherpath-dungeon-guide/

The guide aptly give tips on pretty much everything.

For anyone new, I’d at least read up on the 3 I will assume to be the most challenging for new players:

1. Ooze luring.
2. Slick and Sparki fight
3. Pre/Final boss fight.

The crewman boss fight might be challenging? I’ve joined a pug party once that supposedly got wiped 3 times and we beat it like on the first try.

ooze luring a slick&sparki are pug killers even if you can duo ooze font with friend rather easily, slick and sparki are going to be more of a problem, especially with pugs when everyone ranges and there are tar pools everywhere.
not even saying about electric floors, foreman spur and end boss, because they are rather easy :P
most pugs also dont know to kill every steam watcher as soon as possible, and then they end up with 92347829387 veteran aetherblades and cant progress. XD happened once.

so basically: dungeon pug unfriendly. i dont recommend pugging it.

Kite, can you sign me up for the class of Aetherblade 101 in case you get a dungeon mentor? I’m also willing to learn how to go through it.
