Guild Wars 2

Every pug I go with gives me a different strategy for the Volcano Fractal. While I’m not going to say which side fails to prevent the boss from healing, I am curious what are other people’s strategies for the final boss of the Volcano fractal?

If the boss is close to the target villager – shield. Otherwise – adds.

Initially you want to reduce shield stacks. If you have time spend some time killing adds.

Do both at the same time.

Shield first but also tag the elementals with AoE if you can. Should be down before you start needing to rally off the adds. If you focus adds first you may run into last second ‘oh no he’s reaching the villager!’ moments and end up leaving downed mates defeated.

shield. Pop a reflect skill and watch the adds kill themselves anyway.
As an ele whenever I see him reaching a shield threshold I immediately meteor shower him, switch to earth mid cast and throw up the magnetic aura to block the adds, throw earth 2 under the adds, then switch to water to freeze the boss so he isnt moving so fast. Then it’s just cleanup of his shield stacks if he still has them, adds if they’re still alive, and ressing anyone who got downed.
