Guild Wars 2

Hawken.7932:

The amount of QQ on these forums about the dungeons is probably the most depressing thing I’ve seen surrounding an MMO in quite a while. But anyway, good post, OP, we can only hope they don’t water them down into WoW (or Rift) style, “casual” hand holding, loot pinata romps.

It’s a shame people couldn’t just give it some time and learn that they’re dying constantly because they’re running their glass cannon, PvE leveling setups, and don’t yet properly understand the mechanics.

I agree fully. People need to learn it. our first runs were dreadful and cost a pretty penny. After understanding what we need to do to beat certian bosses it was alot easier. Example the one boss you have to use the guns on the ground to lure the robots into him where they explode. other like another posted you take more dmg when you move. Dodge is also yoru best friend.

The dungeons are awesome and are hard to a degree, as the poster above said you just need to think more about how you will tackle things. I use to use only 2 diffrent weapons as an elementalist now I carry one of each set because some bosses are easier to take down with certian skill sets. We redo our sloted traits too for certain bosses. Gear does matter abit more so with def and toughness. toughness is huge life saver. We mostly rey to get over 1k toughness for each person running.. heck we may even make dungeon gear just to make it better. the fights are long and if you mess up your toast

I have been reading many threads in there about how hard teh dungeons are and please change this and that to make this easier. We run dungeons nighlty in our guild and sure some are nutz in hardness but we eventually figured them all out. that said we have rotated almost all our guild memebers through all the stories at this point almost and they are getting easier every run.

Some things to help you get through easier:

1. invest in toughness. Dont focus on all dmg you will not win.
2. use tatcis and dodge alot. (example. have classes that have reflect or reduce projectiles use abilites when needed)
3. have utility people that can help heal if possible.
4. gear, gear , gear…. make sure you have really good gear from PVE or WvW
we found that people that die alot tend to be weak in the gear or in some cases skill
5. learn to swap weapons or elements. you need to take advantage of both ranged and melee and abilites more than in PVE/WvW. know all your skills and plan to carry extra weapons that you normally dont use incase there is an ability which may solve the issue.

These are about all I can do to help. making things easier is not the solution.
