Get AR and problem solved.

But without this mechanic in place how could they reliably gear check your character? I mean, we can’t have skilled players walking into a fractal who knows how to dodge all the boss agony attacks… that would just be…agonizing to watch!

Dumb response. I can dodge all agony based spells no problem which is why I have very little of it.

This is exactly my point. People that play with me know to heal me right at the beginning because after that I’ll be the last left alive to solo it if needed. It’s just a stupid ridiculous mechanic that proves absolutely f~‘king nothing except that Anet can’t make dungeons properly.

So you are pro solo carry the team yoloswag. But you lack AR?

Just because you disagree with it, doesn’t mean that it’s a dumb response. Otherwise, your complaint is just dumb because I don’t agree with it.

They wanted to make the fractals an evolution based on gear check from scratch.

Therefore, why would they hard limit to 80 in the first place? Why would they then actually try to stop people from getting rewarded if they beat the Maw after 50?

The fractals are a gear-check dungeon from the scratch. It was poorly implemented in the past, but now it’s clear.

I see what you did there :P

I feel dirty when i get hit by agony that i can’t avoid…

We know that you are really really pro, if there was an achievement for not being hit by agony, you sure would have completed it every time you do fractals

But now you don’t need to buy AR anymore, you get it by simply doing fractals. So there’s no reason to come here and complain. Stop complaining and start thinking, sir. Actually, since you are really good and has no more to learn about the game, buy a book, reading is excellent

Here’s a rude answer for your rudeness, have a good day, and consider getting some AR since you don’t have to buy it anymore

Undodgable agony is stupid though. Op has a point. :P

Stupid or not, it’s an intentional gear check, and it won’t go away. In some sense I like having minimal gear progression in the form of AR. So long as more dungeons added in the future use Agony instead of inventing their own resistance type, I think it’ll be a pretty decent system for gear progression without being too harsh.

Get some AR and you will be fine, if you think you are above AR, HF dying at the third fractal boss.

Honestly, getting the required amount of AR is not that hard, if you prefer to fill your infusion slots with +goldfind and stats get yourself a second set or stop complaining.
