Guild Wars 2

I liked the fight at first. It was an interesting challenge which forced to be aware. Until the jade construct showed up… Then it was just beyond annoying. Not challenging. Annoying.

Other than that, pretty good fight.

Why are so many people so soft? It was just a bunch of CC’s flying around. I did this on my glasscannon core-guard with only 2 deaths and 3 pieces broken. It felt harsh at first but as I see it now it was quite a challenge, I liked it.

“A bunch of CC flying around” is exactly why this fight is horrible. I didn’t find it difficult, just ANNOYING. CC is not a good spammable combat mechanic for bosses to have.

I died 4 or 5 times before I could actually kill him.
It was an awesome fight and a great end for him to die but the only thing I hated was the Jade Bows!!!! By the six... they were super annoying!

I was fine with everything but the jade constructs. Once I had a rhythm down, it was good, but another construct would spawn and kitten that. It’s a punishing fight and I appreciate that to some extent, but the constructs were overkill, imo.

Have you considered running some stability OP ?

Spoken like the class who has that privilege.

What stability does thief have outside dagger storm elite, or revenant outside an expensive dwarf utility skill which also has a cast time so it defeats the purpose as you get pinballed around before you can get stability in dwarf stance.

The Jade Constructs are beyond ridiculous.

Yup worst fight in GW2 as it is not mechanical hard it is just poor design in such a small room. Hated when you go back in there and he has a chance to one shot you before you can even move after the loading screen.

Did it on a viper’s necro. Died once due to mismanagement of abilities.

I did find the jade constructs excessive. Otherwise the fight seemed monotonous and fairly easy. Wish it was shorter though.

Completely agreed. After the first half I ended up half naked and was quickly naked towards the beginning of the 2nd half. I’d port in, get CCd, aoe’d and die again. Truly horrible fight. Maybe after you get a better handle on the mechanics it’s easier, but first time through – hate it. At least give us a friggin forge so I am somewhat useful. I didn’t want to start over though cause it’s sooooooo long. Maybe more breaks would be a better strategy.

The story is good, the fight was bad.

Agreed. This is the absolute worst boss fight I’ve ever had in the entire game. The entire fight is a CC spam, confusion kittenstorm. This fight is utterly unbearable and extremely frustrating. Would not do it again until it is toned down. Way the kitten down. The CC by itself is ridiculous, but the confusion? Screw that.

This is literally the worst boss figth in the whole history of GW2. Its an endless CC fest with no way to avoid it and in the end your left with bitter taste and every equipment broken.

This needs to be fixed or I will never do it again.
