I’m currently in the middle of a run on this; died I don’t know how many times, naked, on the end fight. Jump down, get one or two hits on the break bar if I’m lucky, die, repeat ad infinitum. I figure eventually he’ll go down through pure attrition…but this is just poorly designed.
Edit: finally got him down; didn’t have any issue finding the study, but I just followed Canach…that said, that boss fight is just insane. One of the things I love about GW2 is it’s generally pretty casual friendly (I’m a mid-30’s working dad, so don’t have that much time). That fight was very much not…I’m sure someone with good reflexes who can spend hours at a time playing to get timings, dodges, etc. down to a science can finish it easy, but that’s not what I’d expect in a PS mission in GW2. Dungeon, raid, sure; PS, definitely not.
