lol that your even getting hit by that, and that your standing behind him instead of kiting him with the rest of your party to the next lava stop.

Whatever you say about that doesn’t make those attacks any less 1 hit KO.

Avoiding the bombs can be hard when you dumped all your endurance into avoiding the agony attack. Hitting the boss in the back worked perfectly for me and my backstab spam build in low level fractals, never pulling aggro somehow (all that stealth spam must have helped) and so never preventing the boss from reaching the next spot.

And then, it starts to 1 hit KO you with little cues. One reason why this boss is boring is that I’d rather be doing 85k backstabs every 4s on the boss (along with a full 1 combo cycle and one C&D) than meager 10k shortbow attacks from the front using only skill 1 while endlessly backpedaling.

so what you’ve just said is “i choose to make this boss fight harder than it is, and then im going to come cry about it on the forums, when i know that i can kite him and survive quite easily.”

you choose to ignore common sense and strategy, please dont complain.

He doe not have a 1 hit KO attack, im an elementalist and have never had that happen to me.

The bomb is 1 hit KO at 15k damage on low toughness classes. The dual attack he does also 1 hit KO and weirdly hits in the back even though the animation for that attack shouldn’t.

lol that your even getting hit by that, and that your standing behind him instead of kiting him with the rest of your party to the next lava stop.

i agree with this post. i love the fractals, its a great dungeon. but finding a group, even with the lfg site is annoying.

the reason i played this game was because Anet said they wanted to encourage player interaction and cooperation, and get rid of the GRIND that we see in so many mmo’s. but here i am farming kittening dailys in the fotm for a CHANCE at a ring to drop. great job Anet, thx for ruining your game

There is nothing unbalanced about this boss fight at all.

He doe not have a 1 hit KO attack, im an elementalist and have never had that happen to me.
Ill agree his attacks are strong, BUT thats because they are so easy to see and DODGE! making him extremely balanced in that sense.

your inability to kill this boss easily is your lack of teamwork from the sounds of it. If you stay together as a group and kite him around the room, this is easy.

Finally got an ascended ring to drop for me today, but of coarse the stats on it are useless for me. can i do anything with this ring thats useful? or should i just salvage it for globs?

Thx for help =D

This is a QQ thread. I worked hard for my Map Completion, and so should everyone else that wants it. Getting wvw done isnt going to be done in a few days, it will take time and patience. When the server resets go out with your guild and capture the points you need.

Seriously, there are tons of people who have Map completion, to even say its too hard, is insane.

Just wanted to know if anyone has found a particular mob in FotM that seem to drop vials alot. I have friends who have gotten 3-6 in the past few days from drops and i cant seem to get one. Have everything ready for backpiece except that. Any tips would be appreciated!
