Does anyone have any good builds/combos/tips that can be used for this achievement? Perhaps even a video guide? It’s becoming quite frustrating – and expensive.

I used full zerk trait with my roaming pvp gears. http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJArdhImObyREhjDIkCoQ4xBQAJg4hF4AcIA-jEzAoLA8FIJCgIAm9GyYCMqVtioxqrxUuCpa3IbvFyM5RVIABjBA-w

You want to face the second boss after oasis 7 (sorry forgot his name, the one with the rifle and can one shot you if you don’t interrupt). use all the other gambits except the outmaned one. Start by casting your earth elemental then casting conjure earth shield to his location and dps with it while interrupting his chain atks and his one shot skill with magnetic surge and magnetic shield skill. Once he ports out of range you can let go of the shield and change to air to use Swirling winds and gale skill to interrupt. Then earth attunement use focus skill 4 +5 and finish off with fire burst. If you need additional defense, grab the second conjure shield and repeat or use mist form. You have plenty of defenses and burst to get him down quick just make sure you either interrupt his one shot skill or avoid it by becoming invulnerable.

Edit: linked the wrong build before.

As an added note, is it intended now that they enter combat as soon as you enter the platform…?

Thanks LightningBlaze. Is there a strat for Subject 7 though? I have been banging my head against Deadeye and I’ve come to the conclusion that latency is far too much against me (and that fight depends too much on not lagging). I figured Subject 7 is a lot friendlier to higher latency connections (despite the fact that other mobs spawn).

If you have an engineer, just use supply crate+bombs+healing turret+a condi spec. As an ele, high stakes gambler is a really hard vs. subject 7.

Your best bet is to practice vs. dead-eye.

It should be noted that the projectile shields don’t block/reflect the instakill attack.

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.
