Guild Wars 2

I saw a change to The Lovers but I haven’t seen a change to the much more egregious offenders of prohibitively long boss battles:

*Underground Facility Fractal: Ice Elemental
*Honor of the Waves: Every Boss & mini boss
*Arah: Giganticus Lupicus

I don’t understand why so many other minor dungeon tweaks were made when these have more impact on the game’s fun.

First patch of 3 over the next 3 months…

*Honor of the Waves: Every Boss & mini boss

Yes please. Path 2 and 3 are already a schlep, though mostly because of the sticky underwater combat.

I disagree with the first one but HotW does need abit of tweak, the legendary ice mobs in path 2 takes a REALLY long time to kill, making the path significantly longer than other paths.
Ice elemental in fractal is fast if you land every lava pour, takes about 5min at most?

We landed all but like 3 lava pours (which tbh didn’t make much diff because if you move fast enough you can get him to the next one in time) and it took 20-30 min. We did the updated Dredge Mining suit & he was fine. the Elemental wasn’t even remotely close to the same so something is wrong. tbh the the Elemental is the worst of all 3 of the ones I listed. the others were boring, the Elemental was infuriatingly boring.

True. I guess I wondered because they made other boss health changes that I didn’t see as equally bad.

Never had that problem. The only difference I see between the suit and the elemental is that the elemental has adds.

I am thrilled that Subject Alpha’s HP got dropped. That boss was seriously annoying
