Guild Wars 2

Hey guys.

I’m trying to down Mordremoth for the first time. [SPOILERS]

And you fight the ghosts or whatever of a couple characters before fighting the dragon. I got Eir first – her fight was a pain, died a lot at first. But by running around the outside ring in a circle while casting AOEs, I finally managed to whittle her down.

Second fight – I got Canach. Things went OK up until my ally Canach does his shield thing to help defeat corrupted Canach. I read up on the strategy on the Wiki and apparently, when he does the shield – you go stand in or behind it. Then the boss’s attacks will be reflected back at it causing damage.

This didn’t really work out in practice at all.

I’d go in the shield and the boss would still drop his AOE bombs on me and it would still kill me. I’m in the shield – and his bombs are still killing me.

What gives? Am I missing something here?

I’ve found it’s generally easier to ignore the shield – I just keep moving while using CC to break him.

Just strafe around in a circle and use ranged attacks for the entire fight. Bring 1 CC skill to break his bar later in the fight.

Most important thing is to keep moving, you have plenty of time to get out of all of his AoE circles as long as you keep moving in a circle around him .Farther away you are, longer his projectiles are in the air too, so gives you more time to get out of the AoEs.

Its a pretty easy fight f you do that

OK, so it’s just a case of mechanics that don’t work.

Got it – ignore the shield and just keep strafing, like I was before the shield went up. Thanks.

They work but the shield used to be rather finicky. It should be less crappy now.

The mechanic is also mostly not worth bothering with.

He isn’t very difficult in melee either but with the amount that he rolls around(or used to, haven’t paid much attention to the new version) you end up wasting a lot of time just chasing him down.
