Been reading claims on this forum to ‘not use Reanimator on Lupi’ lest grubs spawn on the jagged horror

So how many of you actually had it happen to you before?

I have Reanimator. I have full Arah set on my Necro, and a few stacks of unused arah tokens and this has NEVER happened to me, and i must have killed Lupi a few dozens times already.

Am i extremely lucky? Or just more baseless claims?

I know Reanimator sucks, but sometimes these claims go way overboard, another one i heard is that it gives people free rallies in PvP/WvW. Lol.

An enemy with vengeance or false life can rally off a jagged horror. There have been videos of it recently.

It actually happened on my first visit to Arah today.

Doing P3, get to lupi with Flesh Golem out so I put him away after someone in the group insists you cant have pets out. Ok no biggie. I swap elite and problem solved(or not)…

until Lupi eats a grub that popped on the jagged horror, which popped from the staff 1 skill flying through the fly clouds. I have no idea of how common this is but I am now looking for a new build that has 0 points in Death Magic due to this.

Additionally its happened in Jade Maw too, Horror gets the skull and thus prolongs the fight.

There shud be an option to explode them. I also never had this problem when I ran arah, i think if you’re too close to lup it will attack him and grubs will then spawn on horrors, this is actually very worrysome now that horrors live three times as long.

As much as I love running 20 death magic, for any path with Lupi in it, I’ll pay the 3.5 silver beforehand to respec those points elsewhere (likely put those 20 in blood magic for well cooldown).

Once I get solid confirmation that pets no longer spawn grubs, I"ll just run my normal build, but 7 silver is pocket change for what you get from the dungeon.

Did encounter this issue with the jagged horror, so after we reset my solution was simply change to sceptre and just used skill 1 and 3 on lupi, and no AoE skills till that phase ends.

didn’t have to respec my necro.

We lost a match in tpvp because of this. 3 down people, I make one stomp → jagged horror, opponent mesmer come and illusion of life both of them then go back to his point.
We were running saying : wait 10 sec then they’ll die.
My jagged horor die, and that remove the “vengeance buff”. We lost the teamfight because of that. Then they snowballed close and far point, triple capped and we were far behind and lost the match.

It kinda sucks that speccing into the Death Magic traitline puts us at these kinds of disadvantages. Trait points are supposed to give bonuses, not handicaps.

I’ve suffered from the Lupi bug many times, it’s very much a real thing. It’s also getting fixed in the next patch, so almost don’t need to worry about it anymore

I’ve had the jagged horror spawn grubs multiple times while doing Lupi, I find the best solution is to just stay back and put AOE marks on your team to contribute with the mobs, and let your team handle the DPS on Lupi

This is exactly what I do and I get no jagged horrors.

I don’t run a Minion Build but I still have 10 points in Death Magic.
What I do is I tell my party of the Jagged Horrors and I don’t attack Lupi, so I focus on the grubs and swarms. This will keep the Jagged Horror close to the party in case they spawn grubs.

If you don’t hit the locusts or grubs with your atacks you don’t need to worry about reanimator on lupicus tough.

Which basically forces you to use scepter for that fight b/c the staff auto-attack pierces and you’ll end up hitting grubs whether you mean to or not.

well if you want to use staff as CnD on that fight than just focus on locusts and grubs around your party on p1. If you’re Sc/D + Staff why would you want to dps lupicus just with the staff? pretty sure scepter dps is way higher than staff for single target, and maybe even aoe if you have epidemic, when the staff would be more supportive while still throwing some dps.
