Guild Wars 2

For the second time in 2 days.

I got a single hit in, the wurm just dropped less than a second after spawning. Got all the loot chests because I was stacked on him and used AoE, but many others didn’t manage to target it in time. I’m sure it’s supposed to be up for a liiiittle longer.

Bump.

This happened to me as well just now. It’s possible to instakill the wurm, reportedly using a skill from a specific class.

It died in about 3 seconds on the last Wurm I was at.

Hasn’t happened to me yet, kills take between 2-3 minutes. But that’s obviously crazy (and bugged).

I’ve seen a few instances where somehow the Great Jungle Wurm’s projectiles bounced back and literally melted the wurm.

It’s not a matter of minutes, it’s a matter of mere moments.

There’s purportedly a Reddit thread that’s been propagating the exploit, and I’ve seen people trying to duplicate it, often failing falling short on range and misplacing the skill (and failing to insta kill)

It can happen to all massively AOE bosses, the mesmer has a skill that can reflect all the attacks for a short period of time, if that attack is a massive damage AOE then it simply melts. I saw it happen yesterday, was crazy. I’m not sure I would call it an exploit, more of an unintended consequence of not thinking all of the bosses through completely. When a boss has a million hit points and can throw down 100’s of thousands of damage at a time then it stands to reason that any skill that can make that backfire will be SUPER powerful to that boss. Someone didn’t take that skill into account when making these bosses.

HEY ARENA NET COULD YOU FIX THIS ALREADY? What’s the point of this event if only one person can do it at a time. You should ban these people for bug exploiting
