Guild Wars 2

How to destroy the Gate Controller in the CoF dungeon Path 1 asap before the flamethrower guy destroys you first? Scepter is too slow; Zealot’s Defense doesn’t seem to hit the device and while Whirling Wrath is awesome, puts you directly in harm’s way.

I understand that Thief and Warrior are the best at it, but I would like some advice in the event I have am forced to do this.

Any tips on this would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Run in with mace or staff, drop a symbol, switch to GS and drop another symbol, auto-attack it. Guardian is actually better and faster than thief since you can’t backstab the controller and you don’t die nearly as easily.

If for any reason you’re really having problems with the hellstorm killing you, bring Shelter and block his flamethrower burst for a free 25 stacks of might. Should make the controller go down a lot faster.
