Guild Wars 2

So I tried out SAB on normal, and i got a couple minutes in, just following the pointing fingers. Problem is, when the monkeys hit me, ANY TIME the monkeys hit me, i get knocked to the ground for such an extended period of time that Im helpless while they hit me again and again, and of course 3 hits means dead

other than being perfect 100% of the time and never getting touched by anything, how in the everloving kitten are you supposed to make it through this?

Dodging is a good way to avoid the monkey bombs if you need to. Also try hitting from the side or behind as an alternative to head on. If you look on the ground when the monkey I ready to throw his bomb you will see a red X. That’s where the bomb will hit so if you stay away from that you should be ok

The big key to SAB is patience & if you need to, grab a team! Don’t be afraid to party up with people in the lobby. There is always someone looking for a group

Use strafing. That way the monkey will attack where you are not.

Also kill the monkeys and they wont be able to attack you. If you catch them from behind or the side they wont get time to attack you before you killed it. And as someone already said, dodge is the key to avoid monkeys, and also the x on the ground will tell you were it will hit, so you can just move away as well.
