Guild Wars 2

Alright, I give up.
I’ve tried the fiery greatsword condition method with spamming 2. I think they patched it, he still spawns mobs.

I’ve tried a full defence S/F build.

I’ve tried a S/F burst build.

I can’t do it. Do NOT think it’s possible on en ele. I just take way too much damage and he randomly heals back up…
Anyone manage it yet?

What do you mean by full defence S/F build?

I personally used this:

S/F

- camping in earth and spam 1 at subject
- you inflict bleed, burn and blind by just spamming 1
- you are quite tanky because you cannot be critically hit
- extra dodges with the arcana trait
- even more burn with the glyph and signet

as you can see, its a very weird build, only for this purpose. what I basically did was just put on the condi food and traits like this because I didn’t want to waste money on a condition set. If you have a condition set then it’s gonna be even easier to kill it.

Full defence meaning I speced into “Final shielding” for arcane and the earth armour talent with full water heals.
But thank you SO much for this build! I’m ganna try it out. Seriously, I just wanna finish them all!

Thank you very much, this build works like a charm for this achievment. I used Radiation Field and D-Series Golem as well to help mitigate damage and reduce healing the boss receives.

I got when my groups would hit it too much and they all would die but I wouldn’t. I think it’s like right before the max or something though. I run 0/0/2/6/6 full cleric/toughness though so I can just heal and mist form through it.

Ugh i’ve tried it 10+ times now in that exact build up there and it just isn’t possible, I have gotten extremely close twice while in the downed state, he is possible 1 hit away but he heals before I can land the final blow. I’ve been trying but the dodges are hardly helpful, all they end up doing is not letting me spam scepter earth 1. I even went as far as buying an apothercary set for more condition damage and still nothing. Is there something I’m missing? As for the glyph, I don’t understand how that is supposed to help since you’re staying in earth the whole time, I’ve switched to air for swirling winds a few times but never fire simply because it is a 1/4 chance of applying the burn which might not even apply the blind. Any of you guys have any other suggestions?

try switching out fire III for fire I. you will probably keep him burned pretty often anyway, so you’ll only lose a small portion of you DPS there.

then, when you’re about to die, make sure you do it on top of him. The font plus your 33% damage increase should easily kill him if you’re getting that close. I highly doubt the font would do enough damage to kill one of the other oozes before you kill subject 7.

If it’s just about surviving and you already have a cleric set or any other semi tanky set laying around, sit in fire until it happens, swap to water, mist form 2-3 of the hits and you’ll live.

Thanks a million Kraljevom, worked like a charm.

glyph of elemental power while in air provides near permanent weakness up-time on foe, Add in couple auras + elemental shielding and runes of the grove for good protection up time, That basically reduces incoming damage by well over 50% total.
As for the healing, sigil of doom for again near perma poison up-time.

But I have no idea what achievement you’re talking about…

I’ve done it using S/F with 04046 and mainly zerker. I used some earth 1, air 1, air elemental and the lava axe. It took me several tries, but it can be done.
