Guild Wars 2

So I’ve now spent better that 4 hours on this fight.
Aside from issue that Braham randomly open a device physically impossible to reach the boss fight is nicely challenging thus far.

However, I then utter the fateful words “Shield yourself or take flight”.
Luckily I am blessed with good vision – there are rocks to hide behind and updrafts to take.
Sadly, neither of these actually work. I’m pretty sure I’ve tried each updraft and rock – you only have maybe 2 second to hide or spam space so I make sure the boss is near a rock or updraft I’ve not tired before triggering this phase.

What have I missed or how are others getting past this stumbling block?

I had to really give my space bar a hard, sharp slap to get my glider to open. That was only after the game registered that I was in an updraft, of course. As for the reset bug, depending on what stage I was at I either ignored it or left the instance to give myself an hour to get over it and try again.

The updrafts are not intuitive at all. Everywhere else in heart of thorns you can jump up and glide a bit. In the boss instance that will just kill you. Walk into the updrafts instead.

Its bugged, there have been a host of threads o it. Quite a number of people including myself are refusing to try it again until its fixed. And its quite ridiculous that nothings been done in the last 2 patches.
