Guild Wars 2

Has anyone else noticed that there hasn’t been an opened, uncontested Temple of Grenth since the patch? I had a decently massive group going last night and it was still impossible to keep Jonez alive during P2 while he performs his cleansing ritual.

I don’t remember it ever being that hard. Yeah it’s a difficult fight, but once you down the Risen Priest, it should be less difficult from there. Is this the result of the scaling mentioned in the patch notes?

We must’ve tried at least 15 times on 3 different servers (Crystal Desert, Blackgate, & Jade Quarry). Everyone I met was having the same problems… The enemies seem to be OP now. Upon spawn, they all seem to be using the same skill at the same time on Jonez, one-shotting him. Sometimes it was the Spiders, sometimes the Wraiths… He also moved from his ritual location a couple times into mobs of oncoming Risen.

I also have reports from other players that they were having similar issues with Temple of Balthazar and Lyssa and the Gates of Arah. (Anything involving protecting NPCs and/or their morale during these wide-scale Orrian escort scenarios.)
