I don’t really see the point to make a video of the most op and broken class in the game playing against noobs who have no kittening clue about fighting a mesmer. Anyone with half a brain can do that.
It is true we (VS) had an agreement with Arborstone….which last 5 minutes. This agreement has never been applied and the first thing Arborstone did was to back stab us and take blue lake and etheron (Desolation map) right after the reset.
While in spvp, toughness is an important stat for an elem, in pve and 3w you don’t need defensive stats. Just go full berserker with something like 0/30/0/10/30 or whatever you fell like. Mobs will melt so fast. I play mostly d/d and staff for dungeon, never had issue with survivability except for giganticus or i change for 0/0/30/30/10 and some of my jewels.
As stated above, toughness makes your heal more effective that’s why you play earth/water in spvp. It is the only viable build in high level. You can defend a point easily and you do a crap load of condition damage while being a tank.
Going vita/toughness in pve and 3w is boring as hell and ineffective. You should focus on positioning, tactics and dps.
My group and i spent 4 h in this dungeon and beat it. After getting our rewards (60 shards) we quit the dungeon and got log off because arenet just failed again….
So after a while, I log in again but….no 60 shards, no nothing kitten Why did you roll back??? I’m sure if you have some logs, plz give me my shards back. Seriosuly stop failing like that. Stupid reward system, nothing would have happened if you didn’t change the way dungeon reward works. This is so stupid. I just spent 4h for nothing NOTHING. And i am sure i am not the only one in that case…….
We managed to take him down a couple of times with the same group, all on mumble, and we actually found a good strategy against him. You need 1 elem, 1 necro, 1 guardian, 1 ranger + 1 random (an another ranger for max dps).
Elem : nice range + glyph of renewal
Necro: can tank him, pets are very important because the boss will attack them instead of you and he can fastly back you up if you are downed.
ranger: max range max dps keep him alive at all cost
guardian: nuff said
Phase 1 and 3 are ok but what makes him really, really hard is this random green bolt in phase 2. I think that attack should be remove or somewhat change, because no matter how good you are and know the strategy, sometimes you don’t have enough dodge and take twice in the row came of nowhere. Except that, the boss is fine.
I only need 500 tokens to get the full armor set, so yesterday morning after the nerf i decided to try out this dungeon and clear it. That was hard. Yes “was” because after 3 pugs, I finally found a good team, clear lupicus and get to the final boss….Dwayna.
This boss is easy but when his life hit 50%, she goes away and you have to put some orbs in the right place fastly enough before her recovering…….I don’t know if it is intented but that part bug AS HELL. We couldn’t damage her below 50% and after searching no one seems to have cleared that boss.
I don’t know what is going on with dwayna but i seriously want an answer from anet because i just spent a total of 8h for nothing, thanks to the superb new system of tokens.
And you do all that for a skin…..I mean this dungeon is so hard, armors should at least have better stats or something amazing. Skins should be easy to get with gold or karma. I have 30 golds and 210k karma but it’s useless for me. End game pve sucks in this game because exotic gears are really easy to get but skins aren’t? I don’t see the logic behind it.
