Guild Wars 2

xyz

Unfortunately I can’t stream so I just made a video instead. I wanted to kill him at least 5 times back to back before I died/got bored, however I got white screen DC’d between my 4th and 5th kill, and I didn’t feel like re-doing P2, buying mortars or socialising to get the P3 orbs done.

I’m a terrible guardian (like for kitten’s sake I failed to invuln the grub twice) and I don’t even have a scepter or undead slaying sigils, so the kill times were a bit 2013ish, but if even somebody as bad as me can do bugged lupi on a guardian consistently with the only build modification being taking an energy sigil, then guardian mains should have no problem.

I did reset him at around halfway through phase 3, when appropriate, since phase 3 is long, dull, and is hardly affected by the auto attack bug.

I did it on guardian because that’s what the person was complaining about, but it’s not like class really matters except Necros.

dlonie.6547:

Is it just necro? I know thieves, guards, and probably mesmers can pull it off, but I don’t think I’ve seen warrior, ele, ranger, or engi do it, either.

Eh I did pretty bad engie one when he was first bugged, but it’s better than nothing:

Also @the hex guy, I’m rendering a video of 5 back to back guardian lupi solos.

Draco.9480:

we need to sacrifice other skills just to reflect/block it.

You can still do it with Shout/Bane Signet/Wall, the secret to doing it is simply not being bad.

You could have argue’d about losing DPS from UC uptime, but I doubt you ever consider UC wherever you’re playing.

dboylolz.3916:

Playing the game of who fails to zigzag the corpses first.

I just slick shoes and corpse toss and hope that there isn’t more than 1 corpse in the way.

dboylolz.3916:

lol, I was wondering when this might come up. Funny how we did this once with you and then everybody started realizing it was the better way to do it.

Yea I’d been doing it for ages whenever I duo’d with Miku on stream, to be honest I never even knew how much time it saved, it was just more fun x)

I wonder you gave you inspiration for that way to run the promenade to Lupi, ey Abe? xoxo

maha.7902:

the guild setting the meta

Iris Ng.9845:

He already did, no? o_O

If he did then there’s no reason to complain :| Complaining about records on the leaderboard being too slow is pretty stupid.

ShadowRX.9024:

To the OP , I don’t think casual runs/daily dungeon tour belong on the leaderboard.

So go and post a more competitive time then if you don’t want casual runs on the leaderboard holy kitten it’s not difficult.

wauwi.9162:

I’ve just realized something – no GW2 player ever 1-shotted lupi.
It never happened.

67-shotting, 71-shotting or heck, sometimes even 43-shotting lupi happens all the time, though.

People have one shot it with Sentinel Rifle though and ~12 shot it with Skritt Bottle.

J Eberle.9312:

Whole dungeon isn’t burrows. >_>

Well I mean, P3 is pretty much burrows upon burrows upon burrows upon burrows upon burrows upon burrows ._.

fishball.7204:

This is why ANet should have done separate balances for PvP/WvW and PvE. Turrets are filth in PvE but “OP” in PvP

Le sigh though, only niche use of turret now is 4 man cof 1

You can range the controller with grenades if you stand in the right place, so you don’t even need turrets for that :<

Still skippable, can make a video when I get home.

Tree.3916:

fixing major game breaking bugs/exploits

Yoroiookami.3485:

but you can’t expect me to dodge successfully each time.

Err …. why not?

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

I would hate to get banned for the little GW2DPS tool, what other stuff were you doing frifox?

Teleport hacking, no-clipping, flying etc etc I assume, although teleport hacking is the only one on that list with any form of detection.

frifoxy.6014:

Maybe, maybe not. gw2dps was not the only “fun” thing I did in gw2. XD

Oh well, now with 2 months into my full time job I’m actually a bit relieved. Unfortunately, I still have 2 more accounts…

Yea they added some REALLY crude detection a while back :/

Draco.9480:

and time my reflects, blocks, dodges

Oh no what a disaster

Look at you tha big boi with 2 monitors!

spoj.9672:

Yeah it was kind of annoying at the start with how stupid all the characters were. But then the deaths redeemed it to a certain extent. I kind of enjoyed the plot and idea behind it. It just got a bit too stupid at times.

Mei confirmed Spoj’s new waifu?

J Eberle.9312:

I never finished it, it was so boring to me. Just dragged on with not much happening for way too long for me to get into it

The deaths get pretty comical later one, worth watching for the comedic value if anything.

spoj.9672:

Another.

Messed up horror anime. :>

Goes from good to bad to a trainwreck pretty fast though.

Buying fresh accounts every time you want to set a path record new meta confirmed.

ShadowNinja.1238:

You can see Goku on youtube solo it on warrior without dodging. You should check that video to learn some tips :P

Yea … from 8 months ago.

J Eberle.9312:

I’m a little bit fuzzy off medications atm so excuse my typing , but I believe I have found the mother of all pug experiences. enjoy

Wow, if only there was one or two games modes which he was better than you at, although he made no mention of such a thing so I can only assume he sucks at PvP/WvW too.

Oxidia.8103:

I’ll stop glitching when the rewards become more then 3 blues and a green and a gold on the end of the 4 dungeon lenght run.

That has to be one of the worst justifications for exploiting I’ve heard.

maha.7902:

in zerg wvw you stick mostly on GS and have sw/f in your off-set to pull people together or off towers or if you need to mitigate damage with blurred frenzy, but you mostly just function as ranged DPS since your whole clone mechanic basically might as well not even exist in WvW

If you’re in an organised zerg then you’ll probably run GS + S/T shatter in the focus party, SF/ + GS melee train mesmer was pretty much only ran by Doiid back in the days of Red Guard if my memory serves me correctly.

Or I could be completely wrong, who knows ¯\(?)/¯

Ryn.6459:

when should I dodge? When he turns or when the arrow is already fired?

If you’re in melee range, you’ll want to dodge when he fully pulls back the arrow on his bow

Ryn.6459:

I was on warrior. Is strfing enough? That would explain why I didnt have much problems before. I think I got.nervous.cause I.was pugging with a famous guild member :P

You can make it really simple by standing behind him; when he wants to pew pew you he’ll have to turn around which will make it really obvious. Otherwise just keep eating arrows until you recognise and react to his tell.

I stand corrected then.

Mace is better is some situations, although some people use the small DPS difference as justification to run mace in long, easy fights because they enjoy the safety net of the block and healing.

EcoRI.9273:

didnt dekeyz showed math that mace was just as good as sword?

No it showed it was almost as good, but people use it as justification to use mace.

Embrace The Bold.7619:

I’d like to say as someone who regularly runs fractals and arah with a dedicated group we glitch not because we suck but because its simply easier and faster in the case of lupi.

No, it’s easier and faster to glitch lupi because you suck.

Sublimatio.6981:

or give this skill a cooldown

Has a cooldown of 2 seconds

ShadowRX.9024:

Oki , lets start micro analysing every record to the seconds? Ill stop now as this is so pointless.

As already said, I think Cheezy cares about the second because for SE p3, the difference between records is seconds. That 1 second could be the difference between the current record and the new record. It doesn’t matter so much on paths like P4 where runs are 15 – 20 minutes and each new records shaves minutes off the last.

In a path where the difference between 2 records is literally seconds, 1 second is quite important.

Yup, I got exactly 3:03 from Eraser’s PoV

Cheezy.2039:

By the way, Deathly, you should work on making your timers accurate. It starts late in this run and I noticed it in your AC p1 as well.

If you want to throw more fuel into the fire you could also mention that Hater’s timer starts late, or that Eraser’s ended 1 frame too early

NikeEU.7690:

If you wall him you can control the RNG of the Frenzied Blast in Phase 3. You dont want him to blast when Wall of on cool down, so best to be inside his hit box until your WoR is ready, isnt it?

Yea for the most part, although if you’re going for a world record then it’s probably best to offwall him all the time, since (assuming unbugged bubbles) you need to wait for him to do an attack before you can move out of his body to bait a fenzied blast, which can lose you time.

Yea this bug has been around since the new instance ownership system (maybe even earlier). Nova and I unintentionally found out how to re-produce it and I’m pretty sure he was streaming at the time even.

Uh oh the DnT brigade is here to defend their honor, where have I seen this happen before :x

1/4 of those videos actually work lul

Enaretos.8079:

Pro tactics : when you want a starting boost on reddit, do not send a direct link to your submission, because the upvotes on a direct link are not counted. Instead tell them to check the new topics tab

That only works if it’s a no participation link iirc.

For the record you can still do Lupi with Nades/Bombs/Toolkit and in melee :x

Purple Miku.7032:

Nevets Crimsonwing.5271:

Can you do this on an engineer so I can learn from you?

Just watch Tom’s vid. It’s not gonna be much different on engi other than way slower

Honestly, his condi solo wasn’t even that slow, probably faster than guardian and not that much slower than warrior.

I think he was talking about Guardian being slow. The real kill time was ~13:40 though, which is only a minute slower than Ele. 13:40 isn’t even close to what an Engi is capable of though, since I played like a complete kitten in phase 2, mostly because I couldn’t be bothered to chance dying and doing it all over again.

EcoRI.9273:

Fun facts: Froggen from league of Legends use standard line casting where as every other pro uses smart cast or that other method where you see the range indicator as long as you are holding down on a key. Anyways the guy uses an inefficient way of playing the game, is still rated as one of the best midliners in the world. There is also this other pro that uses a trackball instead of a mouse.

Comparing not using smart/fast casting to skill clicking is pretty stupid. Also, “every other pro” uses smart/fast cast is just flat out wrong.

Maybe a more appropriate comparison would be self cast vs using a skill and then clicking yourself.

fracture.9754:

You need 70 AR, but I’ll go on a wild guess they ask for 75 for underwater section, where your helmet gets replaced with the aquabreather.

For when they inevitably underwater mossman.

You’d think that in the time needed to get that proficient at skill clicking you’d …. I dunno … learn to use a keyboard?

Might be an Osu! player though…

Jerus.4350:

I have to say, the gggg match had me laughing pretty hard

Brazil just giggling whilst Nike trying his best to not sound kittened )

rotten.9753:

Logically, if they are a guild that doesn’t do cooperative activities like dungeon tours and they don’t practise enough before the tournament, then the result can be quite obvious.

Don’t worry, even rT has been saying this.

winterchillz.2564:

God kitten it, rT, get your kitten together, my fanboyism is hurt! :’c

That team wasn’t really rT, more like 3 pugs trying out AC story for the first time.
