Guild Wars 2

Went there with a level 30 ele. Ran into trouble in the instance (I still haven’t finished it, the finisher made things kind of difficult when liberating that village—-plus I haven’t played in a while and my dodging skills got rusty) and died to toxin a few times. Also I got killed by centaurs when I was busy dealing with the spores, had a few close calls with the assassins when I couldn’t get to them in time for the finisher, being a ranged ball of squish with the stamina of a caterpillar, but otherwise did okay.

I think it’s definitely not balanced that well for solo play on low level characters, though, especially the squishier classes. And the mob spawn locations don’t mesh very well with regular leveling and exploration——you get groups of veterans and elites walking around far too much. I think it’s a lot fairer than F&F’s scopes, though. I started playing in the middle of F&F and would die instantly in the starter zones whenever I run into those, after being repeatedly stunned, knockbacked and ganged on by the surrounding mobs.

Well, yeah, I was with a couple of zergs that got crushed. As I play squishy types, the skeletons were especially difficult to deal with if I wasn’t careful. I’m just surprised that there are people still think he’s not doable at all, this late into Halloween. With that many people successfully fighting against him, you’d think word would spread out quite quickly that he’s perfectly zergable with some tactical jingling.

Soloing him, now that’s another thing entirely…

There’s a rumor of the lich being unkillable by a zerg? Really? I was with a couple of zergs last week, and I think all in all I saw the lich die about twenty times total. How did that rumor even start? ._.
