Guild Wars 2

condition damage scaling is horrible right now, but they did say they’re gonna look into the viability of those builds

right now though, its better to just have critical damage even if you’re going a pistol/grenade condition damage build

and note : explosive shot on pistol doesn’t count as an explosion for trait purposes

You don’t really need the guardian to stand point blank, just be good about dodging and using condition removal if you mess up, have two condition removals if you struggling. the boss doesn’t really charge at anyone, it just stands in 1 spot and shoots stuff

I did this as an engineer with grenade kit and used med kit and prayer to koromir , I had 1 bleed trait I couldn’t take off so I had to just deal with that. Had 3 members of my party afk while I pretty much solo dps with a mesmer helping me out if i ever died to prevent boss from resetting

it’s easy, I had to solo it cuz no one else in my group could do it/and conditions stuff

1. Don’t use any condition damage
2. Have some kind of condition removal, most people go all dps stuff but just switch into 1 condition removal at least for this boss
3. Read his animations, there’s two animations one where he’ll single target someone and fire some fireballs and then theres one where he fires 1 fireball at everyone you can just roll or walk to the side for this one
4. Being range makes 3. a lot easier, gives more time to dodge

just because it’s not a spam 12345 boss doesn’t mean its impossible
