Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is in the right section but it surely seems unintended. It’s not possible to crit Tequatl unless you’re hitting his head, which is quite problematic since it’s the hardest part to hit and the spots that you need to stand to do so are usually covered in poison. It doesn’t make much sense that the hands/feet/whatever aren’t crittable considering they’re a part of the same boss. I hope this is changed.

Thanks

Yeah you can’t crit anything except for maybe one small spot on the bosses. Gonna guess whoever did this just looked at the boss parts, changed one of them out of like 3-5 to allow crits and called it a day.

No idea, but I didn’t get a single crit on teq in 15 minutes of attacking him. using rifle eng, stood directly on the tag where others were claiming some crits… nothing.

no crits on Fire Ele, SB, Shatt, and Teq and it was hard to tell if the changes to Karka Queen were working as intended

edit* did events with zerk gear/zerk weapons with @75% crit chance

Yeah, I landed a crit or two but you can’t exactly stand still at Tequatl. I love the changes but the double health is impossible with crits

You can only crit world bosses on parts you can’t target which is… a huge problem. Basically if you don’t have melee cleave or ground target aoe, you’re out of luck. Forget ranged weapons. Bonus fun: the crit spot on Shadow Behemoth is the center of his body… which means you have to stand in his death aoe to crit him.

Time to take a break from World Bosses, I guess. :/

This. All of this. I mean, kitten .

Most worldbosses if all have a untargetable spot that isn’t part of the actual worldboss that you can hit, fromthe ones I’ve done so far those were the only crittable spots. They’re generally only hit with cleave/aoe.
There’s a crittable spot you can hit at the base of jungle wurm while also hitting the wurm a second time.
One spot on the ground below the ledge on the west side at fire elemental is the crittable spot. Spot in the center can’t be crit.
For shatterer, underneath him on the ground, even while he’s in the air.
And a spot underneath claw of jormag (first phase AFAIK), even when he’s in the air. Not sure if you have to hit that spot for crit yet though.

Yeah it’s a bit too ridiculous to assume it was intended to be like that. Perfect update if every spot was able to be crit.

Since the patch I only did a few bosses, I couldnt crit FE, Shatt and SB at all. I could crit Wurm but at a very very low rate

I was at teq and only critter him like little bit on the head before stopped Critting for some reason13 hours since the first post
Welp no comment from anet, looks like this is working as intended

I´m not 100% shure but I had the impression my crits in the dmg phase of Tequatl did LESS dmg than the hits at the non crit zones. Crits did about 6-7k, normal hits about 7-9k. Anyone can confirm this?

Please fix this. All of the kitten ways to make players do less dps is not fun gameplay.

Not all of us feel that low level content should be challenging. We’ve done that stuff hundreds of times. Making it harder now does not make it more fun.

I expect it to be a struggle to level up with blue and green gear. I do not expect a struggle when downscaled with full ascended. My characters used to feel like heroic demigods. Now they feel less powerful than the characters at the level of the zone.

Edit: Devs? Try Teq before responding..

Bumpedy. Sol, your post was entirely off point.

But here’s to hoping all the areas will become crittable!

Once again Anet put out an untested patch, come on! you expect us to pay for your expansion????
