Guild Wars 2

So I just have a couple of questions on it -

In phase 2 when he uses his projectile attack:

- Do you block with sword 5 when he folds his arms or when he releases them
- Is it better it be closer to him or further away (I tend to get hit by a stray projectile after my block expires)
- Is it better to move around while blocking or staying still

And finally, is there any advantage/disadvantage to fighting at normal range or inside his circle, or is it better to max-melee range?

Safest way is to dodge backwards once when he starts the tell and then use sword block as you run back towards him. If you dont have the block off cd you dodge back and then dodge forwards or you dodge back and then ww forwards.

If you can get him on the wall for phase 3 and stay inside his circle he wont do the barrage attack which is pretty annoying for classes without reflect. Classes with reflects stay outside the circle so they can reflect the barrage. Max melee range is too far out though, you will get domed at that distance.

I had a wall of text typed up, and then for some reason my browser decided to go back a page and I lost it all, so I’ll keep it concise.

Typically, the phase 2 barrage functions in a 2 wave attack. This means that Lupicus will deliberately aim his projectiles at you twice during his channel. As a result of this, you want to time your movement according to the waves. It is best to delay a little bit before you evade backwards at the start, to ensure that the first wave hits where you were standing previously, and not where you are about to be standing after your evade. The second wave acts the same. Either hit your sword block and run back to lupi after the first evade, or wait a tiny bit before you use a dodge/whirlwind back into Lupicus. Note that this rule only counts for projectiles targeting you, and does not account for the spam of random ones all over the room. Bad RNG is bad RNG, sometimes you can’t avoid getting hit even if you master the wave timings.

It doesn’t matter if you move or stay still while blocking, but make sure you’re never too close to him or too far from him. Too far, you’ll get hit with something after a channel (phase 3); too close and you’ll proc the block and probably die. Always once you start blocking from far away, use that time to run back to him.

The only advantage to being in his circle is that he won’t use rapid fire if you do it properly. Some people think that is ‘lame’, so thats the only reason not to do it.

Haha classic, I think he told me the same. Then he killed lupi in my practice instance and I had to go make another.

You told me to finish it >.<

I told you NOT to finish it!!!!!! But i do remember the time you’re talking about and you’re right about that time :P

I remember that time as well >_>

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

I remember that time as well >_>

Whenever I let him watch me try speedkills he’d start fighting lupi when I was getting stacks, so I couldnt waypoint back

When poor Der*y wanted to get his 5 minute solo, Dub aggro’d Lupicus while afk and ruined it for him

My almighty aura has a magnetic effect on lupicus.
