Why would you want to fix an encounter designed to require more than just DPS? It sounds like it is the one encounter that works right to me.

It is not running the sparks that people complain about, it is the ridiculous amount of regen while she is stealth that people complain about.

Using OP terms, after phase 1 of the fight you need EXTREME DPS to get her low enough to even have a chance at killing her after the second spark run. It is a insane DPS check. One that is not needed. It would be fine if they just made the regen slower. Not every class can crit for a easy 12-20k like a warrior.

Unless the group is comprised of nothing but warriors this encounter is a nightmare.

I just tired to help some of my in game friends get their dungeon title. This is the path they have not completed yet. They are good players. It was a well meshed group. The only downfall to our group is we play defensively. So after phase 1, we would chop off another 15% of her health before she would stealth. She can easily heal that in around 15 seconds (if not sooner).

So we got stuck on a infinite loop. Not because we lack the skill. Only due to lack of dps.

The Group: 2 Warriors, Guardian, 2 Elementalists

See, individuals like you totally screw up people’s perception of the boss. Guess what, you were doing it wrong.

We did it with 2 thiefs, 1 Mesmer, 1 ele (not specced full dps) and me, a guardian, with 1400 healing power.

She healed five times and we killed her. She doesn’t heal too fast, you just need people to learn how to kite sparks in faster.

Each time we would get her lower and lower.
It was a blast

You have a completely warped view of how this should be. The developers do nothing but stress that a player should be able to play however they want to. This means that a boss such as Simin where a DPS re spec and re-gear should be unnecessary. Why should they stress such matters such as play style equality but then have a boss where obviously only warriors have the least issue. Understand what you’re saying. My group was 2 Rangers(Full DPS,Glass Cannon), 2 Guards(Full DPS, Re-spec), Mesmer(Full DPS). Any of us who weren’t in DPS re-specced for it so that we could make up the damage but not only did it still not work because of this broken boss but we all felt like kitten playing like characters we didn’t want to play as. Why tell me to play the way I want the whole game but require me to me a meathead for a boss.
