Guild Wars 2

Me, 80 Guardian with a mixed group cannot kill Alpha Creation in CoE kept resetting and dieing zerging with no armor on.

AC path Ghost Eaters, spinning boss with the pull, wiped us over and over and over.

Some of these are just ridiculously hard.

Please reevaluate the difficulty of these guys.

you have approximately 2.5 seconds to discern the obviously telegraphed hand gesture every time he intends to pull you.

You then have the option to press v, or double tap a movement key to dodge his scorpion wire and subsequently not get pulled.

That is ridiculously hard. Really hard. Dungeons should be nerfed for you.

Oh no, I can’t dodge the easiest boss in the game, better rage on the forums.

With Alpha, that’s a pretty easy boss in all paths if you get used to his abilities. For example one path he throws aoes everywhere, but you can dodge damage by standing in the middle of them or dodging right when they’re about to hit if you are in multiple circles.

Both the bosses you mention are not that bad.

Kohler is not hard, he has a easy tell when doing the pull/tornado. You can solo him if you abuse of cripple and line of sight with the pillars.

Not that im soloed him, but as my “friends” killed the 2 adds and left the battlezone to see me die on him… Lets say that clones that cause cripple made me dance with him for some time, as they got bored and came to finish the boss since as they kindly said “We can try to kill him on another boss!”

Kohler took us four tries, and I’m honestly kind of ashamed it took us that many. First try was gibbing his buddies, second was dying to him, third was trying to spam mass stability, and fourth was simply dodging his GIANT GLARING YELLOW ANIMATION while stacking cripple on him. I could probably solo him if I wanted to spend that long whittling away at his health.

Kohler is a simple dodge check.. it is asking if you understand how to use this key mechanic, many abilitys on weapons and utilities can make this much easier.. for example smoke screen, magnetic aura.. wall of reflection.. the Aegis virtue and any utility that grants it to your team, all these things make Kohler very sad indeed.

The Alpha creation is a tricky fight, i’d say try to factor in getting the vigor boon from somewhere within your group.. the hardest part is managing your dodge bar in my opinion, really easy to make a wrong move i’ll admit

Alpha’s one of the best boss fights.

Except for when he has the fire element. Then he just casts a PBAoE burning in between his attacks. It doesn’t even slow him down or change his rotation, it’s like it’s there solely to take a dump on melee characters.

the alpha is pretty easy when you know how to do it, yesterday i run the dun with all dps thief – war – guard – mes – hunter, i do think the key is having the 2 meeles > war & guardian to hit the boss in the opposite direction war > (hit) BOSS (hit) < Guardian so that the earth skill can be predicted. and all the rest can hit wherever they want as long as they’re not behind the meeles, ah and the range job will be evading the dragon tooth

the only issue with alpha is the teeth of mordramoth. I could solo teleporter alpha because he doesnt use it.

But god, teeth of mordramoth is just so stupid. especially when he decides to just stand with his back to the wall. Making an attack that does 2/3rds of my hp have a 1/4th second telegraph and no other way to avoid it…

Also the kohler guy is really easy. he has one of the longest telegraphs in the game. You shouldnt be dying to him at all.

I did CoE path 3 (the one with alpha creation) with a pug today. I dont think there was any wipe and no voice com used. It wasnt hard. Several of them including me did CoE explorer first time.

Are you talking about his earth crag thinger? To be fair, he does turn and point at the person he’s going to shoot it at once he’s finished casting the dragon fang or frost/earth circles. I’ve noticed he will usually train on one person for several attacks in a row, as well, before moving on.

Awwwww man

I came in here expecting a TON of witty horse puns, or centaur jokes.
I am disappoint

Well, despite pointing out the obvious need for an edit to the title of this thread I’ve not much else to add, so must gallop

see ya’s

All I know was he wasn’t telegraphing ANYTHING.

Maybe he bugged because he was pulling and one shotting.

Yeah, he was. you just didn’t know what to look for. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I find it far more likely that you didn’t see his tell, rather than you encountered a bug which hasn’t been reported by anyone, ever.

Just learn the encounter, my group finally ran kohler without a single person wiping and dang did it feel good.

He was bouncing ALL over the place up and down the stairs one shotting people.
