Guild Wars 2

I have a similar complaint — Trash mobs drop the same thing as world bosses. Why would the Shatterer have a Cleric’s Bow of Lyssa or something equally ridiculous? I’d rather see swords that are purple crystalline/white bone to match the shatterer than get random rares. The RNG loot table is just absolute kitten and there’s no point in killing anything for any reason at all, skins or otherwise.

Hey everyone, OP here. Let me tell you how my run ended up going.

I ended up posting in LFG and had to pay group members 2g each to get a total of 3 guardians (one of which was me), a mesmer, and a warrior, all in PPT / knight’s gear.
For the last boss, we went in with sanctuary/shield of the avenger/wall of reflection/feedback/repeat and chained our reflects, took the boss out in about 40-50 seconds. We did that on our first try.

I think that this dungeon, similar to Simin for arah p4, is one of those groups that requires certain classes. While anet insists that any combination of classes can do any dungeon, i’d like to see 2 condition necroes, an engineer, a longbow ranger and a staff elemental that sits in one attunement complete arah.

While anet is supposedly tweaking all of the dungeons, unless they do a complete overhaul of professions, 1 guard 1 mes 3 zerker warriors will still be the most popular group composition, and one of the most viable in many situations, including this one.

The best way to get around the issues of having kittenty PUGS is to get into a dungeon-oriented guild, have a group you do regular runs with, specify classes in LFG or simply MAKE A WARRIOR/MESMER/GUARDIAN.

I’m going to make a video this afternoon showing how quickly you can get a group using LFG posts that say “all classes welcome”. We can just then post that in response to every single thread like this that comes along (like 2 or 3 times a day it seems)

So I intended to do this yesterday evening but neither FRAPS nor MSI Afterburner will do a complete screen recording for me. I intended to have the video start in GW2, show me alt-tabbing to Chrome to show the LFG post I make, then alt-tabbing back and waiting for the party to fill up. But both those capture programs only capture GW2 and don’t show the alt-tabbing.

Does anyone know of any capture program that would just take an full screen capture including coming back to desktop? I run in fullscreen windowed mode, if that makes any difference.

ZDSoft Screen recorder. occasionally has a really small barely noticeable watermark but you can record 1080p, your own mic, and the sounds on your computer no problem.

Whenever I see this boss completed in a non 3 warrior/guardian/mesmer group, ie; using range as far away as possible, the amount of spiders that spawn are very minimal — never over 5. However, having run this with now 5 PUG groups of different compositions, we can never seem to complete the dungeon because somewhere between 15-25 mobs endlessly respawn while we try to kill the boss.
Is anybody else having this problem?
We often have these mobs respawn before we finish killing the first group as well. I’ve taken screencaps of us running down the tunnel trying to leash about 40 trash mobs all spitting poison.

Is this actually the mechanic – to give the players 10 trash mobs that lay down poison and a handful of silver mobs that they have to kill while taking down an hp sponge, meanwhile the mobs are respawning?

Everyone i know agrees, it’s easy to get knocked down, and even with all 3 utilities made for breaking stun/having stability/aegis, you can still get knocked down and killed before the kd is over.

This seems ridiculous to everyone I know, and despite everyone building around it, we all die similar deaths involving large salamaders.

Should this be fixed or nerfed or?
