Actually i find the 1 shotting mechanic more fun. The wall trick just help put the reflect on lupi face, aka, where the source of the damage is going. I see there the whole point of having reflect on the game, minus the quantity of damage. .

So it’s more fun to do the least threatening phase, then just skip the other two by the press of a single keybind? I disagree. Killing Lupicus the second he does that AoE has always been possible out in the open too, but only with a very coordinated + well-equipped group unloading all of their DPS under the feedback provided by a mesmer and it requires very good RNG too. There’s a distinct difference between this and what the topic of this thread is. Either way, I don’t find either scenario any more fun than fighting him traditionally.

Reflection is intended to be used both as an offensive and defensive utility in combat, this is obvious. Being able to kill a boss instantly the second it performs a particular attack in phase 2 is obviously sketchy and unintended. Preventing this from happening wouldn’t remove the whole point of having reflect in the game, lol.

Thus my third paragraph.

Oh boy, 3 months later on Dungeon Forum… “Why i am being kicked”
My sugestion is:
If you want be a healer, find another game.
If you want to support your party, with active play, anything, except a necro, will do.

Back on topic, i generally ask how they wanna do and i dont mind the way, as long its meleeing.
I don’t think this need a solution, but if it were to be one reducing the quantity of AOE circles would prolly still damage him, the point of using good reflects, but not enought to skips phases or 1 shot.
I just don’t want they to “Malrona” his kitten up.

No
Yes
No, l2p.
Always convert gold to gems before leaving.

ppl still die to alpha? 1..2..dodge :x
i didn’t get the joke :’(

I like the idea, especially if i already have another char with the same class @ 80.
Should be able to unlock traits account bound too =x

Turn that dragonite in ingots its making me cringe :X

Nothing is wrong with zerker meta – its literally the only logical solution. There is no tanks (ways to pull boss aggro), no healers (everyone heals himself) in this game. Which leaves only 1 role for you – DPS.

I see this being said a lot, and I can’t really see the logic.

Assume Elementalist fighting champ with a charge ability:

Elementalist initiates fight with Fire Attunement meteor shower. (DPS)
Champ starts average attacks
Elementalist switches to Air Attunement and uses a knock back skill to keep the champ far away. (Control/Tank)
Champ charges
Elementalist uses an immobilize skill in Earth Attunement. (Tank/Control)
Immobilize wears off and champ fires off another charge
Elementalist, now at half health, switches to water attunement and fires off the two heal skills and also uses the class heal skill. (Healer/Support)
Champ starts more average attacks
Elementalist switches to Earth Attunement and uses the auto attack to weaken the champ. (Support? Maybe?)
Elementalist switches to Fire Attunement and finishes champ with a Lava Faunt and auto attacks. (DPS)

No offense but seems like you never done dungeons in GW2.

Let me tell you how it actually goes

Elementalist starts in fire with Meteor Shower (you got that part right)
But then instead of switching to earth and other useless shenanigans he continues to spam 1-2 in fire until boss is dead. Add dodges if needed.

See how easy it is if you just know how to dodge

Also the main point is to kill the boss very fast – ideally before your groups runs out of dodges/blinds/reflects. Which is usually 5-30 sec depending on boss.

Actually ZERO for both of you.
A good elementalist will stack might first.
In case, using staff, Earth 2, Fire 2, 2 blast finishers → enemy dead.
Oh look, support while being dps. who knew? :O

no no no no we should go the armory!

1) Create your own group “LFG all welcome”
2) get healing staff guardian, bearbows, condimancers, gs mesmers.
3) Keep pugging like this for 2years.
4) Tell us how awesome is the experience of taking 3h to finish arah.

2014, ppl still wanting gw2 to be a trinity game :/
Bingo.

bingo. kitten issues. LFG full of sellers? create your own LFG. I don’t buy path, i pug arah, i have no problems getting a group.

ezz to craft too

Valento.9852:

I didn’t refer to open world piñatas guys… I meant REAL INSTANCED RAIDS. They are possible, but they’d have to work out AI and enemy design, and at the time it seems to me it’s hard (take for example that new AI consultant who’s been hired recently).

Somewhere deep inside I still believe in ANet. Please ANet, don’t let me down.

What exactly will happend different in those raids that does not happend in those “piñatas”? How more organized than TEQ will those instances be? How extrapolated from dungeon mechanics it will be? You can’t tank, you cant focus heal, so will have little “zerg” groups managing/defending diferent parts of the map at key moments. So yes, Teq/worm is the closes to raids that this gameplay of gw2 can offer, due to system limitations.

Valento.9852:

ANet isn’t reinventing the wheel, it’s just that GW2 lacks holy trinity (and of course that’s definitely NOT a bad thing) and therefore challenges, enemy AI design, and difficulty has to be sorted out altogether, or else you get crap uninteresting “challenges”. They simply won’t create instanced raids the same way because their systems are very different from other MMOs (to an extent).

This.
Teq/3Worm IS the gw2 raids, The system here will allow so far this kind of experience, if ppl are expecting a “world of kitten” experience they will just be frustated, so a lot of time and resources wasted that could be used in other areas (new zones, new skills blablabla).

Warrior, leveling as warrior is ezz due to high hp and has access to many weapons.
/2 wars

Open world raids yeah, instanced no. instanced raids are in all other games out there.

Yesterday, Lvl 50 – 2 eles(6 might all the time), flametower engie, always dead thief and guard me. After 1h i got a assassins weapon box. RNG luck or does this kitten has really improved?

Hey there,

Here are a few tidbits from the team:

• A lot of newer players had trouble with the interface. That doesn’t apply to you, you’re veterans who have been around the conversion block a time or two. But newer players will benefit from the updated system.
• The goal was to make the Gem Store more like other shopping experiences, and if you think about it, there is more of that feel to it now.
• You may be surprised to know this (I know I was) but very few people bought gems at smaller denominations than the first one offered in the new system. That’s not to say they never did, nor that there wouldn’t be the desire to do so. But overall, the current options were selected based on player purchases in the past.
• The team is going to listen to your feedback and, if and when it’s practical and desirable, they can look towards adjusting the new system to better meet your needs.

So please keep your thoughts coming on the new system. Feel free to make suggestions but please, keeping them constructive would be very much appreciated.

This is Anet postion.
Favors new players – more game sales > more money, If you already in the boat, kitten you.
Not buying gems till we see more middle ground on those updates.

There’s a new safespot for ooze?

Yeah, it’s the entire dungeon.

Shoots fired.

No, this is all time gated, not challenging.

Whut? i am lost. Last time i did this with my low lvl engie i soloed everything unitl boss where ppl where waiting?

Rangers or Scholars

Glass thief detected.

You need Aetherpath, which is imo the best dungeon ever in gw2, the only one that’s fun and challenging to go with a group of friends

What is specifically challenging about it? None of the bosses are hard and the puzzles are more annoying than they are difficult.

PuGing it.

I get sad for my fractal brothers. All this effort for nothing, to be ignored as the new patches improve what does not need to be improved and dungeons/fractal remain stale.
All is vain.

I create “px, 80 zerk fashionable only” :p

Melee, Might stack, Wall, ice bow 5 = 4 xploits i report u. j/k
10/10 good job m8

Not that it is THAT deep, but surely is a little better, IMHO, into the direction I want, A bit closer to the gameplay i like (Warband/DarkSouls).
People will desagree and theres plenty of trinity game out there to play, but after i, alone, 4boxed 10man dungeons in a trinity game, that no longer became more challenging to me.
Increasing people capacity just adds to annoyance rather to challenge, since just more people to carry.
Gw2 theres a lot of balance thingies to address but core i like.

2014, ppl still wanting gw2 to be a trinity game ¬¬
Why not play something else? theres plenty of trinity based games out there, can’t we have one non-trinity game plz? Theres lot to work here, sure, but going back to trinity aint one of those.

I pug/join “Px, 80 exp zerg ping gear” and likes.
But still i get surprised to see pugs killing SQ in the open and stacking the rest Oo … and other weird stuff

I guess I’m fine with not stacking queen in pugs, but at least stacking makes them melee. The thing that’s strange is while killing Spider Queen in the open warriors start taking out their rifles and guardian switch to staff, this happens in exp zerkers only speed lfgs.

Yep.
And there i stand, as ele, fgs on the ground, looking behind the bars as the other 2 eles, ice tunned, try to kill spider, guard on staff and war on rifle…
