Guild Wars 2

I propose a challenge to you coordinated groups.

Here is the challenge:

• Remove the healing skill from the healing slot. Including Healing signet, Signet of Purity and Signet of Restoration.
• Don’t skip any mobs.
• Don’t cheese or Line of sight any bosses/mobs.
• Don’t exploit while in this challenge.
• Bonus points, if you don’t leave combat to regenerate hp during fights.

What you can do:

• Use healing shout warriors.
• Use Altrustic Healing Guardians- Optional. AH may trivalize this challenge.
• Use water elementalists
• Use water field + Blast finishers.
• Use range weapons/attacks.
• Use regeneration boons
• Resurrect downed.
• Use ranged resurrection skills.
• Elite skills
• Utility skills
• Weapon skills.
• Pet’s buff like Fern wolf’s Regeneration.
• Use Nourishment buffs. Bonus points if you don’t use Omnomberry pie.
• Use voice chat to coordinate better.

That is all.

The point of this challenge is to challenge your teamwork beyond than just healing yourself and dps the boss down more. It is clearly for fun and not for profit. I would like to see how tactics would change if there weren’t any healing skills at all.

Don’t cheese or Line of sight any bosses/mobs. what do you mean wit that?

LoS’ing mobs isn’t cheesing. Jumping into the middle of a group of mobs and flailing away doesn’t make you a good player. I don’t know why people are so opposed to this.

sounds pretty cool but dont forget the engineers elixer gun

If you did not include “Don’t cheese or Line of sight any bosses/mobs.” I could probably post several CoE runs that satisfy your challenge. I really do not understand why groups cannot do this to satisfy your rather interesting challenge. If anything it makes some encounters more riskier.

I hope such challenges aren’t supposed to be a substitute for proper tough content? Why do this when there is zero additional reward? (“We completed the No Healing Challenge” equals zero additional reward)

CoF p1 speedrun. Done.

It means that you don’t hide behind a corner of a pillar or wall and dps the cluster of mobs that is stacked together. Mobs stacks together because mobs takes the shortest path.

That is the point of a challenge. It is to do something more risky.

I took that away because without it, it makes this challenge too easy with 4 warriors and 1 mesmer.

Speed Lupi kills hardly have additional reward when you consider a lot of those that aim for record times often reset if a mistake is made so they can try again.

You’re doing it more for the sake of saying you did it.

Whining about groups that insist on LoS pulling mobs is a surefire mark of an awful player who thinks you should just mash 1 to win in every group. Considering it’s been the hallmark tactic of pretty much any game with aggro/leash mechanics since like, ever, I don’t see why people have such a hard time accepting it as a strategy.

You can use it if you want, but I will not be impressed when you do it.

Hate to break it to you, but I highly doubt a majority of guild wars 2 players will be doing it to impress you. There’s very few people who’ll feel proud about saying “I did this challenge w/o LoS’ing”. There’s just no prestige in it lol.

It’s not supposed to be “impressive” when a football coach puts a speed burner on wide receiver, it’s just…the thing you do.

Think he was being sarcastic about impressing him guys.

Any pokemon gb fan (call us what you will) knows of the nuzlocke challenge, now THAT kitten is fun and challenging but there’s so many different interpretations of the rules, not everyone follows the same.

Seems to me It’s a personal challenge more than anything, don’t know if I’ll try it, but some people might enjoy it.
