Guild Wars 2

Yep, bout ready to throw my comp out the window.

Has any Warrior managed to complete these? If so, which bosses did you use? I’ve gotten close multiple times on High Stakes Gambler, using the no dodge, on fire, take more damage, crippled, and SURPRISE QUAGGAN ENEMY gambits on Subject 7. I get the ooze down to about 5% health, but seem to die just then.

is basically what I’m trying to replicate.

As for Humble Victor, maybe if I can do High Stakes Gambler, I can do that as well. But I was more wondering which boss would be optimal to try.

Edit: Nevermind (sorta); got High Stakes Gambler after trying it a few more times. I recommend that YouTube vid!

Humble Victor is still tough, because you do less DPS… so, still looking for tips on that one.

I was able to do both on my war.

For High Stakes, I followed something that I found from last year, with all the gambits besides the one that reduces damage. I don’t normally use zerker armor or the GS/Axe&mace combo so it took me nearly 200 gauntlet tokens to get it. Also I just used exotic zerker armor with ascended condi dam trinkets. I also had a friend help buff me to 21-25 stacks of might prior to the fight, along with a regen booster, armor booster, damage booster, and a speed booster. Took a while, but managed to finally do it.

Humble Victor was a cake walk by comparison, got it on my 2nd try (and the first one I was just messing around to see how bad it would be). If I recall, I used my normal build (maybe some slight modifications) on Deadeye.

Sword&Shield/Longbow.
Knights armor w/ Dolyak Runes.
Rabid weapons & trinkets.
0/6/6/0/2

Deep Cuts, Furious Speed/bladmaster (can’t remember which), Furious
Shield Master, Cleansing Ire, Defy Pain
Signet Mastery

Though you may want to switch something out for Missile Deflection or Rending strikes.

If I recall my utilities were
Healing Signet, FGJ, Endure Pain, Signet of Stamina, Signet of Rage
(could also try Fear Me, or another CC move instead of FGJ)

The main thing is just stopping his snipe long enough for you to do enough condi’s or direct damage. So blocks/blinds/evades are the main thing. I think his volley did about 5-7k if it all hit, but the snipe is what will kill you, if you can dodge that you should be fine.

As an alternative to using the shield block you can bring a GS instead (or a FGS if you have an ele friend). When you get him to the edge, using the #3 will help with damage and evade a snipe, just make sure you don’t use it to hit a mine.

Edit: All of my gear was Ascended, so it may be harder in exotic. And I don’t remember if I used food buffs or not, but if I did they were the Sharpening Stone, and either the +dam&crit dam food or gain life on crit food, sorry I can’t remember which.

Hmm, yeah, taking the condi approach; I’ll try that. For Humble Victor against Deadeye, I can dodge his Headshot, but then his volley usually gets me down, so I’ll try your gear/build. Thanks for the tips.

Hope it helps, it’s mostly from memory, but I’m pretty sure that’s what I used.

I may have used GS over the sword/shield just because the #3 is on faster CD than the shield block and does damage, but you need to be in the right position to use it or you’ll most likely kill yourself, and you lose out on most of your bleed damage.
