Our guild also liked this instance and had an enjoyable time. We don’t usually have 5th person and tend to 4 man most places that is possible. We entered the instance with an expectation not to make it past the first boss. After wiping a once at Fritz we figured the strategy of jumping on boxes and running in a counter clockwise direction while aoeing the golems. Don’t know if it’s a bug, but I’d sometimes let the golems pull me through the rays because I would take no damage.

As for the last boss we figured out we had to keep her in the red circles to remove her shield. The only part where 2 of us died was during the cannon barrage. We figured out that if someone died during the cannon barrage to just leave them there and rez them when the boss would pop again. My friend and I took turns with the rez and eventually we got the boss down.

The instance is very doable with group coordination. Our group make up was a gaurdian, bow warrior, mesmer, and staff ele. The only few things I would say is the ability to change the colors of circles (I’m color blind) and a way to tune down the animation effects alot. It feels like a technicolor seizure sometimes even with as pretty as everything is. Besides that fun instance and I hope it becomes a permanent addition for a fractal or it’s own beast.
