Unscathed contender sucks for lupicus… also aegises tend to get bitten right before you’re kicked so I just try not to rely on aegises.

I would love for you to beat his solo Lupi Guard solo. Untill then

This thread has given me some good insight.

Sigh my take on this thread.

Would you like us to post a video to show how we kill this boss after waiting for spiders to spawn? I really do not understand whats so bad about killing stuff fast…

I’d actually be a bit interested in it, but I’m worried that the essential factor is: your group is heavily damage invested, so you can clear mobs very quickly. More on why that bothers me in a minute.

In a situation with perpetually summoned adds, your DPS has to cross a certain mandatory tipping point. If you can kill things more quickly than they summon, eventually you can win. If you can’t, it doesn’t matter how much support or control you have coming out of your allies, eventually the mobs will pile up too high and overwhelm your group. Which means that now damage isn’t a good strategy, it’s the only strategy, and that just seems boring. And also punishing to anyone that thought Control was a valid role in this game because apparently it isn’t?

I’m not trying to criticize players here: you have found the solution to the boss fight, good job. I’m mostly criticizing ANet because I’ve always thought that a DPS race removed the skill component from gameplay in favour of a subtle gear check. And weren’t we trying to get away from that with GW2?

Edit: I guess I have to address the “PVT gear is good enough” thing. Is that PVT exotic? And what about the armor sets in the game that don’t have power or condition damage as a primary? Do those characters just have to hope others can carry them through because there are no other strategies…?

What??

I don’t understand how people are having so many issues with general dungeons mechanics. Sigh one of these days people will understand something. But the best advise I can give if just bring proper equiptment and utilities to said fights.
