While 3 persons were afk, our engi started the fight and did this…
And we decided to finish it…

And have a question: could someone make the same in 3 ways(with more or even max amount of grubs)->mesmer’s feedback+full melee, normal way(i mean 2 ppl can melee and 3 persons are in range) and, of course, our lovely solo way?:)

Well I mean, we could probably do a 25 stacks melee run or solo, it would just take a billion years..

You’ll need him to get around 8-12 to make his aoe lifesteal oneshot an elementalist I believe. Well, more one-hit killing attacks would add some challenge, but since he gets tankier with each grub it kinda kills the thrill.

Now what made me interested, if you get his damage high enough, would there be a point where he would one-shot himself with the barrage? I mean, his defence raises by a constant 10%, but the reflection damage is amplified by critdamage, so…

Defeated by packet loss.

His defence increases more than his damage Im afraid, we already tried a 25 stacks feedback once before, the formula is linear and just decreases FB damage per grub

I should have thought you guys tried that already.

So it’s either max reflect damage mulptipler combined < Lupicus damage reduction, either the buff scales differently for his attack and defence, I guess?

Pretty much, I dont think anyone really knows how the empowered buff affects him precisely though.

I only remember that his lifesteal did double damage with this amount of stacks for my warrior, fast attack in phase 3 did like +500-700 damage.

I got to a point where even while pushing for really fast Lupicus times I would just let him eat the grub. It never really affected my times (or so I think it didn’t…).

I like to let him eat the grub, so when I tell people that my solo took longer than expected, I just say “well, I didnt kill the grub”

I attempted it once with 25 stacks and his p1 kick attack did about 19k damage on my warrior. It was a while back so I’m not sure on the exact numbers but it did one-shot me. Only a masochist would attempt a 25 grub stack solo so I might give it a try..

Classes like thief-ele-guardian will be 1 shotted by that kick even with 0 stacks so.. the extra dmg taken may be a problem but the time it’ll take to bring it down is worse.

MIght be an interesting thing to see…

DnT, rT, HC, LOD, (and any I am forgetting)

Challenge. Kill time for Lupi with 25 stacks of empower.

Thinking something like staying out at range and letting the grubs get eaten. timer starts at 25 stacks and first charge in?

Given that I have seen you guys do the Ice Elemental in fracs in 5? min, this may not be to hard, but I still would love to see it.

It takes so long for him to even get 25 stacks ._.

Yeah it would take forever to get 25 stacks on him. And even so the race would end up similar to the end of the lupicus record race. One team pushing to shave a few milliseconds off of their personal best. I am truly convinced that grub’s have very little effect on him, even 25 would only add 10 seconds maximum to the fight.
