How to handle staff guardians?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

I’ve met a bunch of staff guardians in fractals, who insist that it is the best weapon in the game. There was this one fella who had a sigil of perception (stacks precision per kill)on his staff running a 00662 build, one issue I had was he used it everywhere and I mean everywhere for everything including Mai Trin, insisting he was tanking properly and the guardian dungeon meta was AH guardian build (apparently he mentioned that he was stacking precision during the boss fight.)
Personally, I wouldn’t bother telling a staff guardian he’s bad anymore (got into argument afterwards)
PUGs do not tend to listen so just find a zerk group and kick anyone who isn’t a zerk.

A lot of useful advice given -
Mass Invisibility – I usually use my Mesmer for fractals so that helps a bunch
Order Spy Kits – Haven’t tried these before, will be looking into it
Spreading out – Haven’t seen anyone stacking yet but…..there’s always a first
Thank you for the advice

I get idiots on high level pug teams for this fractal all the time. Trust me, it doesn’t get that much better unless you make sure early on that your teammates aren’t inept. Also I’m not really sure how soloing this on a warrior would go because I haven’t really attempted but… I suppose it’s possible. Guess you’d have to just be extremely familiar with the fight.

It is somewhat sad though that you still get people who can’t dodge at higher levels….eventhough it is relatively easy to dodge.

Hi, first time on the forums. I want to ask the rate of success in completing Mai Trin’s final fractal boss as I’ve had a few occasions pugging where people die too often at the Cannon AOE dodging part.

So far, this has happened three times to me.

The first time was I’d be the last one standing by the end of the third cannon AOE phase where I then fall victim to Mai Trin at some point in the fight. We tried 3 times where the party keeps dying at that part until the party leader rage-quitted (He died all the time btw) wasting a lot of my time trying to level up in Fractals.

The second time was when again people dying to the cannons until just the 2nd phase where the party leader (different pug) went AFK and ofc died. Of course two party members kicked him resulting in us getting booted from the fractals and again wasting my time.

Third time, myself and another dude from the party managed to stay alive. We had 3 attempts until we did finish. Nevertheless it was slow and tedious because of some players not really playing their part in the dungeon, ie just dodging and staying alive for the duration of the fractal.

Personally I don’t think dodging those cannon AOE is hard, just right timing but it seems that people are kittenly bad at dodging.

Am I to expect behaviour like this in the higher level fractals as well? (We were in 14 both times)Or am I just having bad luck with bad PUGS
And it seems that the party leader leaving issue has still not yet be resolved.

Any sort of answer or advice to delegate this frustrating issue is welcome.

Apologies for my terrible English, it is not my first language.
