Are there any updates on this? Still have no chest.
Me neither :L
I’m never going to get my tickets, am I ….
>:(
Today I joined a Fractal Rank 19 ground for a quick Daily.
The LFG said “Speedrun 3k+ AP”. Upon joining, I notice the horrible group setup, which I comment on. We’re talking no Guardian and two Thieves. However, I roll with it – it’s only Rank 19 after all. I point out to our Elementalist that Staff is an odd choice and he takes immediate offense, because he has 9K AP and I only 4K, even though I have the Fractal Frequenter at 500+ with Personal Reward at 50, while he is somewhere at 20(!).
We finally get to Bloomhunger where, within seconds, everyone except me (Zerk Warrior…) wipes, because the Area of Effect fields are shiny, I guess. Shorty after they grant me with a kick because my idea of a “Speedrun 3k AP+” involves at least some kind of skill. This was pure comedy, I am still laughing.

No chest here either and I’ve done the achievement. Seafarer’s Rest! >:l
Everyone wears full zerk and runs meta builds. Guardian with hammer gives protection, chain reflects/absorbs with ele and/or thief. Ele summon earth elemental, everyone keep up cripple. Use consumables, dodge the agony Axe throws, rally on wolves. Its that easy. Just don’t run clerics kitten or tanky gear its gonna make you preserve your mistakes.
Yeah I myself run pure Zerk. But you never know with pugs. Sometimes you rock 49 without any problems and other times we get stuck in a Fractal rank 19(!) or so. I try to get random people into Mumble or TS but they NEVER want that. And I have yet to find an active Guild that runs Fractals every day, like I do. So I figured I’ve to get extra super duper skilled. And I’m faaaar from that.
I love Fractals though. So fun.
learn to melee it, as easy as that.
(special hints: stay behind mossman and dodge when he turns around to attack)a group that insists on glitching mossman, is a group i would leave just because i wanna see how they play. if you wipe multiple times at mossman its probably best to either practise or look for a better group since you will struggle with them anyways if you can only do it with glitching.
Since the posting of this thread I’ve done Fractal 49, 3 times now with Mossman every time. I looked at some other guides that told me to kite backwards when I’ve aggro, and tail behind him when I don’t. This works quite great, unless I’ve teammates who don’t do the same OR when there is not enough Zerk.
The most annoying part however, is that most groups require apparently 5k or more achievement points, and don’t even care how much Agony Resistance I have or how many Fractals I’ve completed. I wouldn’t say I’m bad, and I have friends with a lot more achievement points who are absolutely atrocious at Fractals. But this is just general kittening.
But still. Guardian is so much easier I think.
A bunch of skelk spawn in the water if any player is nearby. Unfortunately, those only attack swimming players, and there’s a really small bit of terrain on which people can stand and range the Mossman from there, safe from the skelks, wolves and the Mossman himself.
On the bright side, people fail to glitch him properly most of the times and end up sharing a delicious bouncing blade to the face until everyone is downed.
Huh! Most groups I join try to glitch him. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. However it usually doesn’t work when we’re on that small patch of land, since Mossman reaches us there, how come? Instead, the group usually pulls Mossman in the water while standing on the patch, only to move to the other side where they range him. Another group today morning tried to camp on that one tree but that didn’t really work out either haha….
I am not talking about spirit weapons in general, only the shield … Although I admit I hate it too as it is so weird. But not using it while your party is getting destroyed by Mossman is just plain stupidity.
Aha! He was using Spirit Sword for some reason, not the Shield.
I haven’t found any ways to make the fight particularly easy for warrior, but if you have a guardian,
bully him intoask him nicely to trait for spirit weapons (longer duration + shorter cooldown), master of consecrations, and go spirit shield + wall.
That must be the first time I hear someone talk nicely about Spirit Weaponry. Last Guardian was kicked (not by me) for using Spirit Weapons.
the strategy for mossman which we tend to use on 49/50 is we have a guardian in knights who tries to hold aggro, chaining aegis (focus 5, retreat, f3, renewed, f3, etc.) while the rest of the team wail on him. We put reflects/absorption up to deal with the dancing dagger, and keep him perma-crippled/chilled so the guardian can backpedal. if he switches aggro, the person taking it backpedals and we get behind mossman again. whatever you do, don’t dodge in to your party or he’ll just cleave and throw them all in the trash can.
i’m pretty sure you can’t expect pugs to do anything like this though, the fight will be too chaotic to control since nobody will be aware of what they should be doing.
Awesome answer, thanks. I guess I need to find a Fractal Guild that uses TS3 and whatnot.
Anyway, what about wolves? Do you guys ignore them or do you burst them down asaply?
At high level fractal (like 40-49) he is, to me, an absolute nightmare. Groups who don’t glitch him usually wipe several times and I don’t find many useful tips at all. Are we supposed to murder all wolves immediately? Because dodge all you want when they swarm you it’s over. And people often just ignore the veteran wolves. Secondly, when there are no reflects up, is ranged as a Warrior still a viable option?
