Guild Wars 2

Exactly. It would totally make the encounter faceroll and ruin it. You would not even need to wall lupi to reliably avoid necrid traps and barrage.

Another solution could be cover the entire room with the arah p1 jotun fire ring spell. If you try to wall lupi, you ded!

Honestly, sounds better than a lot of the proposed fixes.

Yeah, what I hope for, is to remove definitely exploits as jumping over map, and to bring back lupi so avoiding him by insta killing is not an option anymore, so it still keeps it status as being one of the toughest in game soloable bosses.

Fixing 1shotting lupi is not possible without ruining the boss or removing ground targetted/manipulated reflects. Or i suppose they could change where the projectiles spawn from on his model. If they increase its spawn height then WoR on wall wont work anymore.

It really seems like that the last thing to do, is simply reworking the actual skill on reflecting. I have nothing on programming, but is it possible for A-Net to only focus on the skill and make it simply ignore reflect and keep moving towards ground/target without disroubting anything else that the boss can do or cant do?

That would ruin the boss. Like i said the only option is to change the projectile spawn place. So it cant be completely covered by reflects. All the WoR on wall is doing is making sure that every single projectile is reflected.

Just let lupi shadowstep to the middle before doing his aoe.

then you dont even need to dodge/block his aoe, he shadowsteps away, you are in a palce his aoe cant reach/wall and then he shadowsteps back. Kinda makes phase 2 really easy.

anet watched the trio tourney and was like “no team wiped at lupi?! time for a stealth buff”

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT AREANANET, WE USED TO DO IT LEGIT, BUT SINCE YOU MAKE NECRID BLAST HITS MELEE, ALL WE ARE GOING TO DO NOW IS 1-SHOT! GG ARENANET, TYVM.

Haaa!! you didnt see that comming!!! Next patch loctuses start using necrid blast too!! Dodge this nOObs!

It’s not rocket science. Make the walls of the arena untargetable! Like many walls are!
