Guild Wars 2

Our group has attempted to do the “Honor of the Waves” dungeon on Explorable and when taking the “Butcher” route, “Aldus Stormbringer”‘s add’s keep respawning and disappearing throughout the fight, making the fight impossible to beat. Sometime’s there’ll be two Icebrood Seers and one Mauler, sometimes there’ll be a Berserker and a Mauler and something else. Also, after about 45 seconds they despawn, and a new batch comes out of different adds.

Anyone else encountering this??

EDIT: Now we are unable to reset the dungeon :l

actually we’re in the dungeon right now
he’s just like you said, and we thought it was a bug
our group figured out that his hp doesnt reset, so we’re kind of cheating by running past him onto the ledges up the stairs and slowly ranging him to death.

edit: the adds still get aggro’d when you’re on the ledge, and it took so long 2 people left, then he reset later on. i think he’s totally bugged and arenanet should just remove those adds, because aldus is op by himself already

As CKMo said, we ran up the stairs to the balcony. We hit Aldus from the balcony, and when adds came I (playing Guardian) tried to grab them all with Greatsword skill #5 to keep them together and off team members, then AoE them as much as possible. Each time adds came we backed off a bit so the boss couldn’t hit us. So long as you don’t completely wipe he doesn’t reset. we got 5 waves of adds before we defeated him I think. Took us 2 attempts to figure out what was going on. Quite a fun boss imo.

In the past few days, I haven’t even seen a single add spawned, so I thought they changed Aldus (as he put up a decent fight all by himself), when suddenly today it is back to infinite respawns, which took so long that he finally healed himself and our group just gave up in frustration. I mean, it would be acceptable if his adds spawned once every 5 minutes, but it just doesn’t seem fun when they come at us continuously every minute. We must have took on like 10 waves…
Worst part of the experience is having some players blame particular members of a group for being “glass cannons” when they are say the warriors up front taking the heat…

Looks like this is not a bug, as of right now any way. Make sure everybody has a ranged weapon available and ready.

Everyone just needs to run up the stairs and onto the balcony. Clean up the trash that follows you then focus on Aldus from above. When more baddies spawn (I found it happened at 75%, 50% and 25% Aldus health), keep one person on Aldus while the rest focus on the adds.
