Guild Wars 2

Is this dungeon bugged or what?

Forward – Up path.

We tried DPS it and we made it to 50% health, then the small spiders melt us all away.

Later we try from 1200 range pressing only 1 skill, wont help.. spiders just almost do 1 shot kills.

This dungeon needs to be looked at by the devs, i dont think this is intended. This boss is even harder then the new Arena Boss or any boss in Arah.

Also its very hard to find people, actually wanna do this path, but i need to dungeon master :/

So did anyone tried since last patch? And dont say : "NOOB ITS EASY JUST RANGE " If you didnt try it since last patch.

Plz Anet look into this. The other paths are 100x easier.

NOOB ITS EASY JUST MELEE

Just melee and chain reflects, make sure you overlap your reflects and everyone stays in them. Someone will post some vids I’m sure.

Somebody find Nikaido’s naked boss fight video.

We’ve had like 3 dozen since 1-2 months ago..

I have tried it with 3 different partys, and all ended up exactly the same. Death.

Yea i would use the search function if they didnt change everything every week the path is just too hard in comparison with the other paths.

Well, don’t worry about the search function, just use your eyes for [Merged] TA F/U in the front page.

The path is quite easy, all paths are. I can understand how the boss can give you issues, I experienced the same thing. If you use your reflects well, the boss can be killed in under 1 minute easily.

In all fairness, that thread is merged sarcasm.

The problem is, it takes 1 hour to find a group full of random pugs.. imagine the time it takes to find 2-3 guardians.

You don’t need just guards. Any class with reflects/absorbs will do. Mesmer and thief are good choices. I know ranger and ele have shorter duration reflects, so probably not as helpful. It’ll be easier with friends, but is doable with pugs. Just organize before you go into the boss room.

You could also range the tree while kiting the spiders, some people do it that way.

…I was doing pretty good before, but I cant tell if this is a troll or not. You don’t need to search, it’s on the front page…like, within the first 5 topics.

Only advice I can give beyond the strats listed on the wiki is that you really only have one shot at it, since the spiders do not despawn. That’s really what pushes the fight over the top – the fight pre-wipe is challenging but reasonable. I do think that the boss post wipe is way out of proportion, sort of like the fractal chanters – simple fix would be to make the room clear adds on wipe. But until then, I recommend that if you wipe, reset the dungeon.

Yea we tried the range too, but we kept on wiped by the spiders.. So next i want to play a dungeon i should read the forums first, on what class is needed for it?

Bah, hope i finish this dungeon, so i never have to return to it again.

First to start off, i missed the merged thread yes because it was just TAkitten. A MOD should change it into Twilight Arbor.

Second, you should be infracted because you probally insult everyone that makes a post a troll.

And third, yes after our first wipe we couldnt even use reflect or kite.. they 1 shotted.

You should be able to do the ranged tactic with any class setup. I believe Nikaido made a melee/no reflect video, but I doubt many could pull that off.

? I wasn’t trying to insult you, I was genuinely confused. We’ve have a bit of a troll session on this topic in the sub-forum, it’s not your fault for missing the context and yes, the title of the merged thread should be clearer, but nothing I said was an attack on you, and I certainly don’t think it’s infraction worthy. Regardless, sorry if I offended you in some way.

Alright np, just dont like people reacting to others like that. No infraction needed then :P

Well MOD change name of other Post, and delete mine or move it in. Not that any Dev it ever reads

There’s nothing even remotely useful in that thread anyway. They should have merged it all, then locked it, then moved it into the trash can, then deleted it.

Another thread left out of the merge party

No, you don’t need specific classes, but you do need some coordination and to bring useful builds with some dps. Ele swirling winds, thief smoke screen, engineer wall/smoke etc are all good alternatives and unless you run 5 rangers, 5 necro or 5 warriors you should be fine. Last time I did a run of this I didn’t even have the time to cast my shield before the boss died.

That was with fiery but I’m pretty sure other classes could output enough dps to do a zero reflect run. (we didn’t need reflect on that run, and did another run without reflect). Two thieves with heartseeker spam at 50% hp should do it for eg.

Just use the strengths of the classes in your group. But then again don’t expect a 5 necro team to do anything decent.
