Guild Wars 2

Why does it take so long to find a group for Sorrow’s Embrace? Seriously Path 1 is almost as quick and easy as CoF1. You have regular chests and I’ve found many cores and what not inside. I was honestly expecting SE to be buzzing with activity after AC was buffed, as it was the next easiest supplier for P/V/T gear (a common first choice in armour) But no, still a long wait to put together a group (not even possible during off peak hours.)

The number of exploits and skippable mobs is outrageously high, what should be the recipe for a farming dungeon. Whilst path 2 is in its own little circle of hell and will never be on anyone’s cycle until it gets cut in half, the other paths are very speedy.

On a side note, if you care to bother, what would you do improve the dungeon? At first I thought the mobs and bosses had too high health and too weak attacks. However after going through with 3 warriors it became pretty obvious that all that health can still be hacked down quickly with not enough offence to deter the zerkers. So I’d say cut the health by about 25% but give them a lot more attack variety/frequency, because don’t get me wrong, their attacks DO hurt, but even if they do manage to down someone we’ve got at least 10 seconds worth of “boss taking a nap” time to get them up again. Because at the moment all boss battles are strategic positioning (exploiting perhaps) and your best DPS cycle to try and keep it short.

I know this dungeon is on the least of anyone’s priorities, and there won’t be any major changes soon, but for the love of god don’t do an AC change. The same reason I try to avoid AC is the same reason I avoid CM, Crowd Control. If every mob’s auto attack is a lengthy knockdown, with so many that most encounters almost require stability to stay in melee range, then that is a dungeon I never want to see again. Getting knocked back? Sure okay only slightly annoying. Getting knocked DOWN for 2 seconds with each hit? Feels like an eternity.
Okay getting very off topic here, SE discussion yip yip!

Improve the dungeon? Well for starters, make the final bosses for path 1 and 3 drop those 15 silvers and wondrous bags.

Even so I still run SE path 1/3 now and then.

Agree. Final bosses on those paths dont drop anything, which is crappy. Most only run SE for 2 reasons really, for Knight stats or for the look. Can’t make money off ectos since the rares from the vendor is just below the point of returning an ecto so all runs are based on Chest drops, and you know how that goes.

By the 9 divines yes, this has always bothered me.
