3. Not all professions can give themselves or the party sufficient evasion, stability, aegis, or reflection/absorption to negate all the attacks. For instance, necros can do none of those things except for self-stability which is tied to a grandmaster trait or elite transformations—try doing a jumping puzzle in Lich Form sometime (hint: you don’t have feet.) Furthermore, the attack is so frequent that eventually even a guardian will have all skills on cooldown.
I fully agree with what you saying, expect i think it’s the easiest to do with necros
you have two things:
a, spectral walk: hit it before projectile lands and hit it when you are flying, and you are back on the platform
b, death shroud: falling while shrouded doesn’t get you downed
Some other classes truly having hard times with the platforms, so it slows the whole team down.
My solution is usually to take a mesmer who can (if he is skilled enough) jump up to the top, then portal the others up from Old Tom
.
And yes hopefully the devs will look into this problem further
