Guild Wars 2

I feel this boss is to punishing. He pretty much 1 shots you, spams AOE and Homing missiles but im expected to dodge all this with 2 stamina bars.

The only way iv seen him fall is when kitted all the way to the nearest way point and in Q1 that way point doesn’t even appear after the tar boss, and there’s no way in hell you can run back in time to try keep him from resetting.

Am I just bad at the game or does this boss need to be tweaked?

Use superior sigils of energy and/or don’t dodge just cause an AoE is placed over you, most of the time you can walk out easily.

Lupicus is easy boss after you learn him and find out what utility skills use.

Ive done him about 15 times now and usually I never die to him anymore.

No tweak needed .. people just dont know what to do, or they are bad at dodging, or they are full glass canon build with no defence..

Learn how to overcome your foe. Not ask for tweaks. Areanet wont neft someting that is doable… Arah is, or supposed to be the hardest dungeon and you should not expect to do it without any skill.

^+1 don’t nerf please.

Last time I managed to kill him with only 3 wipes, even though I was the only one in the party who had even attempted him before.

Kudos to ArenaNet for an interesting fight.

lupicus is probably the best designed boss in the game right now.
Perfect the way he is. If there was to be any change to him at all, it would be a reduction of armor in the third phase as it can drag on a bit. But even then, it’s still pretty kitten perfect.

The only hard part of phase 2 is when he decides to “auto attack” you, and sends out a singular green trail at your face which likes to curve into me even when I dodge roll it :<

but if you havent messed up on phase 1, it only hits for 11k, which still isnt always enough to even kill my friend (who is full glass cannon ele)

Like many of the above have said, Lupi is the best designed of all the current bosses. Around the right difficulty, could do with increasing the difficulty at the start of the fight maybe just a few more locus adds (1-2). And then the rest of the fight is fairly well balanced.

They could lower his health by 10-15% however and I wouldn’t complain much. ^^, Would be awesome if more bosses where scaled like Lupi especially end bosses. I remember first time doing this boss and feeling like he was hard but never felt too hard, and we got it on 4th attempt, now we do it first time every time.

Our first kill took 30 minutes alone, now we kill him in under 12 minutes.

Hardest part of this encounter is rolling the auto-attacks during phase 2 and phase 3, there can be some tricky situations where he drains and auto-attacks you right after, other than that most every other source of damage can be avoided.

Here is a video from the main charge and drain target’s POV. Hope it helps.

Dos anyone know if there isany special aggro table for Lupicus? I fought him for the first time last night pug group (took 3 hrs) but he would absolutely NOT attack anyone else But me (I’m a Necro) while I was alive, it was to the point where he would shadow step to me twice in a row? Killing both my dodges, then he would “auto-attack” me immediately after words, I had a Sigil of energy but even that was not enough dodges, he just would not attack anyone else.
