I am so kittened off 4 hour run perfect run floor-less up to dwayna, 2 half hours on this BOSS! we had 3 warrior 1 guardian and me a necro and we where running the sparks in the the holders in no more than 4-5 sec. and this boss is bugged simply put bugged.

I’ve also come across the same problem others have had where we would dps the boss down to 50% hp she would stealth we would run the spark into there holders leaving her with 70% hp left so we start the dps again getting her to 50% hp and would you believe it she stealth at 50% HP WTF is this rubbish!

Ok we give in another go DPs her down to 50%, run the spark to there holding pens. A perfect run down to 60% HP great time to dps here down again get to 50% HP and bang she stealth again!
This kittening boss want go below 50% HP no mater how fast you are DPs her or placing the sparks.

Robert can you please look into this the boss, as she bug out at 50% HP she will never drop bellow this and will just stealth every time making her impossible to kill!

I normally never complain and take the stance of L2P when it comes to difficulty. However I truly believe there is more to this encounter that is at issue then just the sparks. Yes the sparks can be monumentally frustrating in kiting but it can be done. My two greatest issues with this fight is that we steam rolled Giganticus lupicus in about 10- 15 minutes. Yet when we face Dwayna she always stealths at 50 percent health after the first stealth. We are capable of taking her down well below 50% health when combat initially starts. Yet for some reasons it feels as though our DPS has been nerfed greatly after she comes out of stealth the first time.

I just came out of a 2-3 hour constant fight with Dwayna trying to get her down. We swapped out traits and builds at least 3 times in those 2-3 hours. Still no success. It’s more of the same. Get her down to 50% she stealths, we kite sparks. She comes out at 70% health. Almost every bloody time. I have yet to find a group that has successfully killed this boss and I am tired of feeling discouraged from answer peoples requests for Arah Seer path who innocently do not know this boss is one of the most difficult things on the planet to run.

While I would enjoy being able to cross-transmute armour, I’d be content with just being able to transmute armour to town clothes – I really like that idea, as there are a lot of town clothes I’d like to mix with armour for certain looks.

I can understand the PvP concerns with cross-transmuting armour, however they already have an fix for that, and it’s used in sPvP – just have a PvP specific armour that comes up an WvWvW. Cus really, in PvE…why would you care about what class someone is that you’re just passing?

True though I can’t say I pay attention to what armor someone is wearing in WvWvW. Reason why is they are all just a giant clustered mass of color. The only thing I really see is the particle affects from spells they are tossing my way. Which in Guild Wars 2 is easily recognizable even from a distance (assuming they load in due to mass zerg numbers…)

I don’t think it matters anymore for pvp when it comes to armor for the above reason I have mentioned. In the heat of battle your not standing around to look at what he is wearing. Your far to busy trying to nock them out or get the heck back to your keep.

I believe the answer to my question as stated as a solid “no” at some point. However if there is anything I have learned about MMO’s and design decisions, everything is subject to change.

If Arenanet allowed you to transmute light to heavy armor or vice versa for all the various skins and armor types. Would you? Would you pay money to be able too?

If you could have the alternative to this being skins. Would you pay money to have an armor skin that was say a leather trench coat on a heavy armor type warrior simply for the look?

Do you think any of the above suggestions are unreasonable? I would like to hear your thoughts and see just how much feedback we can show ArenaNet about this topic.
