I do love the new boss mechanics but the trash is a bit too much for lower level groups. Namely the baby spiders on the spider queen. Unless you have a group with 2-3 people that have aoe reflection it takes too long to kill them before they wipe you. I was in a group that sadly had no one who could aoe reflect so we had to try and aoe hard and hope for the best. It took us 12+ attempts to get 2/3 down but the group was demoralized and gave up.
I did notice the spider adds taking a little longer to kill, my group was all fully geared level 80s so maybe thats why we didnt notice it as much. I wonder if other lower level groups had problems with it too.. It seems like a simple fix tho
Okay i just have to express my love for the new revamped Ascalonian Catacombs. I went to the dungeon with some guildies to try out AC and we started off with path 2. Everything was going mostly as usual until we got to the last boss of path 2, which is the Ghost Eater. When we tried to simply run up and attack him, our hits just kept saying “0” so we knew that we would have to do something different. At first I was like “are they really gonna make us fight a ‘Legend of Zelda’ type boss that makes us think and use strategy?” And the answer is.. YES.
After awhile of trying to figure out what to do, my party finally got the hang of it. We had to lift the jellies with the rays and pull them to the traps in order to charge them. Then once the traps were fully charged we lured the boss into the trap to make him vulnerable. And as soon as we got the hang of it, this boss became incredibly dynamic and interactive. It was the MOST FUN I have ever had in a gw2 dungeon.
So my challenge and advice for some of you guys is.. if you decide to do the revamped AC, dont just give up on the last boss. Stick it out long enough to figure out the strategy that you must use to win. These bosses require cunning and teamwork and i love that something like this is being added to the game. It would be nice to receive some extra tears for your hard work as incentive, but overall this is a great change imo.
What do you guys think?
