Guild Wars 2

Elementalists could do even faster, it’s just a lot harder. Using Fiery GS in Phase 3, rushimg against a wall… ugh.

Lupicus is chronomancer.

Get it.

And that you don’t stack any other might and you only overwrite long duration stacks.

But you usually don’t stay on axe longer than 5 seconds. Other possibility eould be not using GS for the time you still have the long duration stacks.

If you’re at 25 might and use Forceful Greatsword you will still maintain 24-25 might.

Scary to see his head from inside. Not to mention that dancemove.

5g? You get 3.26g, 177k experience, a bunch of karma and 60 tokens back, so it would be actually better for us to get the reward ourselves. 5g is okay for a path 2 run which you can solo in some time. But not for path 4, considering you also get the chance on a 20g/200 tokens recipe.

Whirling Axe must be traited for greater radius to work.

Messatsu Gohadou? Rapidfire?
BTT: He can’t swipe 10 times in 30 seconds.

Dempsey.8760:

It isn’t that 30/0/0/10/30 just shaves off 5 seconds in CoF, it is just a better all around.

You don’t seem to have any experience in solo play. Also, did you even notice that you have fast hands with the possibility of bringing sigil of strength (?) with 30/25, too?
The 5 Might stacks from SoR have about 62% uptime by the way, not 85%.
30/0/0/10/30 sucks regarding all-around ability. 30/25/0/0/15 even has a huge advantage for speedruns which most of you guys won’t even notice.

You could just glitch yourself invulnerable and won’t even notice any difference.
They should simply make every reward qualification fully sequence based that only trigger in the right order.

No worries, Level 7 Gîganticus Lupicus is ready to solo Jotun Stargazer!

Don’t forget turrets!

For path 2 and 3 you can solo every boss legit and don’t need to carry via portals. Also the skips are “easier”.

You obviously can with portals.

Pugs think Legendary Shoggroth is hard?
I always thought pugs don’t do this path because they can’t do the skips.
Still waiting on any arguments why path 1 is easiest and fastest path, btw.

They already fixed some skipping exploits by sequence checks. Endbosses usually don’t trigger anymore if you didn’t kill some bosses before and if they do you won’t get reward. Thing is, not all bosses are part of the qualification for the reward and that has to change.

That still doesn’t make path 1 the fastest or easiest arah path.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

You take 2 bears on your ranger, that’s not an accurate test of ranger ability

I wish i would go with double-bear but sadly i didn’t meet one i could charm

@Broadicea: I know. Thats actually the only reason why taking rangers into dungeons isn’t like “the worst” choice. Still, in AC you’re better adding an ele or a warrior (or a guardian for path 2), for arah you’re better adding a warrior (p1, 2, 4) and for TA, you probably want a thief, guardian or mesmer. Ranger sounds good in theory, practically you better first get perma 25 vuln and might without too much effort before thinking about a ranger buffs. Not to mention utility and overall effectivity.

I don’t accept his ranger claims. Ranger is still a trash profession to take into many dungeons. Even though i enjoy playing ranger from time to time, bringing an other profession is almost always a better choice.

No, in his spreadsheet an elite group dies twice at hunter/crusher because of the poison field.

Yes, you were.

I still don’t get that “easiest path in the game and fastest arah path” thing.You can do 7-8 minute p3 runs without exploiting, i doubt that’s as easy for path 1. Not even to mention how fast p2 can actually be.

Additional 2-3 reflects.

Sword CD does even better than you might think. It makes blurred freny fit much better to phase 2 timing to bring cutain to it’s full potential. Also the recharge on #3 and #5 help a lot in phase 3 and 1.

Doesn’t he have both? I’m usually using sword trait and clone on dodge. Can’t let out last one since reflects scale with your amount of illusions.

80% Timing, 20% Luck. I usually use Temporal Curtain there.
Phase 2+3 could have easily been ~40 seconds faster in sandy’s run.

Watch sandy’s mesmer solo, i’ll add the link tomorrow. He has been using 10/30/0/20/10 which is what i’ll use too for my mesmer speedkill. Sadly, speedkilling lupicus is about 95% luck in phase 1.

Didn’t you call this a “not very lucky” phase 1? Thats like 10 times luckier than i got in 2 hours of trying. Well, had no chance today anyway because of that serverlag. GJ.

It’s absurd that doing a good mesmer lupicus solo relies on LUCK to 90%. Better no locusts spawn, if locusts spawn you better have luck they ignore your illusions. They don’t ingore your illusions? GJ, the kill just takes twice as long.

I’m sure lupicus alnost always crits. Sometimes he doesn’t and you survive hits you’d usually die from.

3-8 stacks.
3 per interrupt, additional 5 per daze. F3 = best shatter.

Yeah, stupid skritts didn’t want us to use their high-end technology.

Or just go 15 in domination and spam daze/interrupts.
Accuracy is definitely better than bloodlust. In a solo setting without reflects bloodlust is just slightly better, in any setting with reflects accuracy wins.
If you’re pugging you should rather take energy for beeing able to solo some content if pugs fail instead of getting an overall (partywide) dps increase of not even 0.5% from sigil of strength. In irganized teams your damage output doesn’t matter much anyway since you’re a mesmer :p Maximize reflections, get some vuln stacks and do the usual utility stuff and you’re good to go.

I would not have a problem with red circles being completely removed from this game. But instead of crying about misleading or unconsistent circles people will start crying even more that it’s impossible to stay alive. Also, lupicus’ red circles in p2 are bot misleading in any way, they are really accurate. You can simply get hit by projectiles that are on their way to the red circle.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

I guess you mean P1? Yea, there should be a closer WP, idk why there isn’t.

Because Anet programmers. Isn’t it something like the waypoint that should be in P1 is actually in P2 or P3?

The “missing” waypoint in p1 actually isn’t missing. In p3 and p4 it appears when you complete the orb way. In p1 it appears after you killed the jotun stargazer (endboss).
Doesn’t make too much sense to add a waypoint onelce the dungeon is completed, but hey, it is not missing!

PS: The p2 waypoint is ~90 units next to the p1 waypoint, it’s not the same one, even though it has the same name.

I’m 99,9% sure that bosses do crit (and most have a very high critchance).

Thank you wethospu for listing them up.

She plays how she wants. She’s just a little innocent girl, there’s nothing wrong about it!

7 billion seems quite realistic to me.

Haviz, would you please pm me the link of a compliation of bosses HP pools?
I forgot where you put those together and i didn’t save any but Lupicus (and Mossman 48’s) myself.

My links are just working fine for me. Both, on my mobile phone and on my pc…

Edit: Building 25 Bloodlust takes like what… 20 seconds?
I think he afk-ranged Belka, at least thats what i usually do. Of course you could get her done a bit faster meleeing but as far as i know he wasn’t really planning on setting a record, just doing a normal run done in a reasonable time.

Yeah, especially phase 1 and 3 rely heavily on luck. A 2:45 phase 2-3 transition can end up as 5:30 or as 7:00.

Hello everyone,

our recently growing guild Dhuum Stucker [DS] is now again recruiting members, even though our requirements has changed with out achievements. I won’t list everything up but you can find them on our youtube-channels (click the link above and the links in my signature) and just to call one: 17.2s Lupicus. We’re highly focusing on Arah, although also doing other dungeon runs daily without aiming on record times. Nevertheless we focus on having smooth and clean runs, our AC runs are all below 10 min, Arah all below 15-20 min except path 4 which goes up to 25 min. To maintain this we have requirements to anyone willing to join as there are: the right mentality (you must be willing to consistently improve your skill and knowledge), already a high skill level (beeing able to solo Lupicus and other game encounters is highly recommended, even if it isn’t a must) and last but not least: patience. If you’re about giving up just because something didn’t work for an hour, you shouldn’t throw the towel but continue trying. This is mainly regarding the record-run attempts.
We do not have requirements such as dungeon master, fractal level 40 or whatever else. The most important things to us are listed above. Though, you should have at least one or two level 80’s. We don’t care about the profession much as long as you’re able to pull your weight which includes using good builds.

Short summary of what we except of you and why we are maybe the right guild for you:

What we expect from you:
- (very) high skill level
- strong solo play
- ability to play in a team
- experienced knowledge of game mechanics
- representing all the time (except when you’re doing guild missions) – we won’t be abused as lfg guild
- activity

What you can expect of us:
- above mentioned points to our members
- fast and efficient runs
- laid back community
- jumping on TS if you want us to, we’ve got a server
- daily ac p1+3, arah 1-4 and one or two extra dungeons
- record aiming runs once in a while, also beating our own records
- lots of trash talk

What you should not be looking for:
- guild missions
- living story (unless it gets challenging, not something like aetherblades or liadri)
- 100% “legit” runs. we are not exploiting but often using LoS and pulls to get things done smooth
- mass guild – we’re aiming on ~30 members, we don’t think there are enough skilled players on EU anyway
- NA guild – we’re on EU, as mentioned above

If this wall of text didn’t make you leaving this thread and you are interested in joining, contact Spiky Muffin.9180 ingame. Either via ingame mail or via pm. We’ll respond as soon as possible.

In phase 2 30/0 might actually be better but in phase 1 (might) and phase 3 (WA recharge) 30/25 is better. Also, if you’re doing an optimized rotation 100b seems to be on cooldown for ~1 second after swapping to GS (with 30/0). I’ve also been quite a bit faster using 30/25 (6:26 with some horrible transition fail, wasted like 15 seconds on that instead of 7:00).

Well, i’m taking full exotic berserker gear with reasonable builds into my considerations. The point where precision gets better than power is about 3000 power then.

That’s not exactly “twice as long”.

It is true.
When you’re at 25 might which last for 30 seconds in theory, your gs crits now grant you 1 stack of might for 5 seconds. One stack might will become overwritten and after 5 seconds you’ll be at 24 might. Though, since you’re never on axe for more than 5 seconds you’ll still maintain 25 might. No difference at all.

Spiky Muffin.9180:

PS: This time might be beaten soon by an eager guildy

It’s in queue after sub 7 mesmer solo and sword-mainhand ranger solo. That might actually take a good while :P

Obviously berserker gear is the problem when i even solo’d him without any armor at all.

AndrewSX.3794:

Only the bubble (animation is faster than you dodge,

Wrong.

Dub.1273:

Still it’s a decrease in efficiency. Once you’re at about 3000 power you better increase your precision instead of power.
