Guild Wars 2

its not unfair, i get onehitted with my lvl 80 thief too from his jump/shockwave. So the solution of it is to not get hit by it

whats “100% elite” ?

Not only arah. theoretically u can solo everything which doesnt require a certain number of ppl like the cof p1 gate, the arah p1 tar and the aetherblade ooze thing etc.

Hes very simple! He has following atacks: a Autoatack which is bounces, dazes, and does quite a dmg( can not be reflected and blocked afaik) . the jump followed by a shockwave and a fear.
You can relatively easy solo it on a thief (invest 15 traitpoints in acrobatic for more dodges). Play dagger/dagger for more endurance on the AA and sword pistol in other weapon set, use death blossom or pistol whip to evade his bolts ( takes a little practise to get the feeling ) take infiltrators signet to remove the fear if he maybe fears you off the cliff and dodge his Jump of course.
If you fight him on a wall u can just dodge inside him when he jumps and will not get hit from the shockwaves, but if hes not in a wall u maybe should go out of the circle and just dodge the shockwaves, because if u dodge through! him you maybe get hit from the shockwave on the other side ^^
Its rly easy as a thief, i would love to upload a video of me soloing with my thief but im too lazy to get through the spider queens ads xD and maybe he isnt even there. But i rly want to make a video of it which hopefully helps ppl who have difficultys with him.

BTW: why u cry so much? obviously u didnt invest any attention in rly learning his atacks and how to evade them, but come to the forums and cry about it…
Gw2 dungeons are ridiculously easy anyway, once u figured few things out.
They nerfed sooo much already.
Its a dungeon, it should be dangerous and no free loot. and it realy isnt that dangerous already.
ppl quiting the instance because of this boss rly shows alot about a majority of the gw2 playerbase.
i will tell you a secret now, VERY less people know about it, and its very powerful… the secret is : dodge atacks, thats all u have to do.
Learn it, dodge it, do as much dmg as possible. Fun.

but i support to this, being able to rally on the illusionary mages. the red downstate makes a good balance anyway.

i suggested it once for the old quaggan tonics.
and since they added atacks to them and no ability to jump.. i think they dont give a kitten

but it would be awesome

Lol yesterday i was fighting him with my thief, and i switched to dagger after i killed the first spawn, than he casted 4, than again 4 and than again 3-4 and again 3-4 i think i was running away from like 16 locusts xD and its not as easy as wth warrior to cleave them away cause i spend all my initiative on blinding them

i think every decent pve guild knows how meaningless AP are.
and with the 44k wvw kills we should fear that you like to facetank much

For anyone who cares, this is the fastest warrior alphard solo recorded yet
Can be faster for sure

Travlane.5948:

i notice its distance related…well % is higher of resetting if ur outside of like 600 range. im not saying like 1800 range or something. but more than melee.

lol

i dont range lupi i only be range to pull him and let the grub spawn, also the boss i ranges is priestess of dwayna as far as i can think

i had a lot to suffer from her too, but its a practise matter i think.
I recorded a solo of mine with quite a decent time, maybe it helps you.

I dont use a shield cause i only have a fractal shield without stats for skipping xD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdrLaDYQdUA

maybe that can help you somehow

There is a very serious issue which is very bad for the thief balance (means be able to do as much dmg as other proffesions (lol))

Many bosses reset istantly after using clock and dagger when u fight them solo.
The most famous one is giganticus lupicus.
It is realy realy bad design and you shoudl realy take a look into this.
Yesterday i was fighting lupi, he had 6 conditions on him (used the f1 thingy) so in p2 after he slapped i used CnD caue i thought if he has so much conditions he shouldnt reset.
What happened? he resets. instantly within 0,5 sec up to 100% again.
Same thing happened on many other boss fights.
It is soo bad. PLEASE CHANGE THIS.
with the upcoming crit dmg nerf, and the heartseeker nerf i fear that lupi fight will take so much longer since i cant use backstab much cause i have to fear that he resets…

Im gonna upload a video soon about that

I want to get one thing clear here, cause i read it one time.
the AC spider queen doesnt do her poison in a certain range (melee) if you just are 0,5sec in its trigger range, she maybe uses it .

Stacking in that corner has following uses :
FGS and WWA dmg bosst against wall.
the Queen will not get punched back (like it does when u fight it) which may triggers the poison.
I know its visually not the funniest way to kill it, but it has its uses.
For example , i killed her solo here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKSNmeyO3h4 and as you may see i fight her through the whole room cause i have to keep pushing forward or she triggers poison, now how do u think will this work with 5 ppl? poison almost garanteed.

And stacking mobs is just to allow cleave dmg and pull maybe spreaded range enemies together.
Most ppl which are against stacking rly dont have the slightest clue how certain mechanics work
But good thing you can make your own grp with like minded peeps.

btw here is a ranged solo i found on youtube, as u can see she uses her poison all the time, but not her melee atack (which is exploiting/ ignoring the game mechanics)

I have the greatest fun with dungeons when i do them solo/duo/trio , with full grp its just speedclearing.
I rly hope they will do something about many dungeons but keep the possibility to solo.
I actually like the difficulty of Tequatl and the Wurm and would love to see such dynamic in dungeons

few guildies get a crash when using the LFG tool too

After the patch many players i read have the issue that the game client crashes.
Mine always crashes when i use the LFG tool
Pls fix this this is more serious than the achievementbugs or whatever!! many palyers have this

is he a troll? im not sure …

someone pls do this! PLEASE!!

Purple Miku.7032:

Have you tried placing them in the middle of the area before? It works really well for me sometimes for keeping them near each other so that you can DPS em both down.

Tried it right now, not sure which place exactly you mean, i just need a LoS spot to pull the hunter and i found it in those rocks and lanterns , on the other side from where i fought are more stones to get stuck though

and yes, i know gokus solo
mine is only for thiefs
different professions are like different worlds

out of curiousity i recorded my daily crusher/hunter kill and it was quite fast.
Its actually the fastest one ive found on youtube
So i claim this to be the worldrecord

proof me wrong is this is not the case

Purple Miku.7032:

Sanderinoa.8065:

oh god, Im just here to report a bug cough, so, turns out, when the console gets destroyed when you are down, the mobs will despawn but you can’t be teleported out, and brie cant reset. HOWEVER, the entire fight mechanic DOES reset, and the grubs stay. So, if a class with low dps would want to do this very easily, they could just let the mobs attack the console, go down when the console is at 10%, let the mobs kill it, rally on a grub, reactivate console and destroy brie with AGAIN a 10x damage boost for the final 50%.

Please fix this devs

How does one get downed with invincibility though? That part I fail to understand.

one possibility is that a deadeye knocks you out of the godmode and right after a technican start to atack you (you have stabitlity on cd) and with the next deadeyes shoot you will be downed, if no grubs or low health mob is in range youre dead

dutchiez.7502:

Ram Banson.4081:

Well i’m happy about the regeneration phase tbh

It means you can’t really solo him anymore… unless you found some way around it.

oh i missunterstood thought you mean like disabled ^^
well tonight i found one on vabbi who didnt went in reg phase.. it seems to bug after few times the event has been done

MagicSlurpees.4851:

I imagine if you wanted to be quick about it on warr then you could just aggro the first additional spawn into the bubble and ignore them while you finish her off, since the time it takes her to spawn more would probably be enough to get the rest of her HP down.

I dont think its possible, one time i failed to aggro a deadeye soon enough and he instantly shooted the terminals health to 5% or something

Well i’m happy about the regeneration phase tbh

Hey
First of all: dearest Mods, i know this isnt exactly Dungeon content! I would have posted it in the dynamic events subforum but since you “archived” it i think noone will read this.
Also i wanna share this witht the community here because theyre are the onliest who maybe care about such stuff. So it would be realy nice if you dont delete this

Alright..
This is my first recorded solo Speedkill attempt on her, i know its not the best time and it can get alot faster, i just want to awake interesst in certain community members to maybe try a solo speedkill record on her, because shes quite fun and it is for sure a very fun way to get the dragonit compared to that brainless zerging, most ppl in the Dungeon community dont like.
So i claim this to be the actuall record! because its a bit faster than Haviz’ Solo and hes the only one ever recorded it
only problem is that i have mostly got the chance to fight her alone in late night, so this is done a few min after daily reset,# and cause of this i lack of concentration and stuff.
Anyway i am realy interested in pushing the time as far as possible similar to lupicus and would love to see some records with her, i always did her around this time, i think thats my best time yet but sub 5 is possible for sure. So i hope this will be done and see some nice videos in the future
GL

Btw: The priest of melandru is a realy fun boss too, i am trying to push a little record aswell.

I see many “Teachers” right now , “selling” “teachings” how to do this boss.
Theyre literallly scamming you..
if you have difficultys or something feel free to wsp me , maybe i can help you

btw theyre probably using some sort of exploit (yes anet exploiting, its totally normal and ppl making money with it cause you doing nothing against it) because they want mes/thief/ele

Made a little video, how i am doing this.
Isnt the best performance im kinda dazed today, died 6th times at alphard, and finished her on last try (luckily) in vengeance xD
Also forgot to use signet of rage
Anyway its pretty simple.

Hellow
I just managed it to solo brie)
Just kill those mobs before they kill the terminal, its quite tricky;
you have to watch for the deadeyes because they either knock you out of the godmode or run themselfes out of it, you can get obstructed to lure them to you.
Than the 3 Technicans, mostly aggroed by grubs, you can kite them around those corners ,so that they cast there stuns against the wall, and dmg them.(anyway take stability with you, it helps with the deadeyes too)
Its tricky to watch the terminal meanwhile, cause the berserkers cleave and deadeyes (not sure of it hits the terminal) pierces.
Anyways i like that change! it makes the kinda dull fight way more interessting for groups as for solos.
Good direction to make dungeons more challenging (i like the alphard change aswell)

but for kittens sake, PLEASE FIX THE EXPLOITS its a HUUUGE exploit because ppl make lots of money with it, and screw legit seller

we just duo’ed it, its realy easy and actually more fun! but you can exploit everything and thats jsut kittening ridiculous , ANET CMMON!!! it shouldnt be that hard,

here it is! pls anet tell us, is this intended or not?
Actually it made the boss more interessting for grps, but it ruined my daily solos so im very sad about this.
And the worst part ppl can still swim and SKIP LUPICUS (omfg)

i dont know, i never knew that skip but ppl told me… im also very dissapointed

So i just ran arah path 2 (alone) and cant finish it cause every time around 30% of her health, the risen come and destroy the thing… that sucks.
A guildie told me than a Pug told him that brie resets at 10% always
Than..

you fixed the p3/p4 skip right to the orbs(only thing i mentioned), thanks for this but appearently ppl can still exploit the whole dungeon with underwater map swimming..
are you even aware of this?!?
thats the bbiggest exploit in whole arah (i guess) ppl make tons of money and screw legit seller who have to fight with daily bugs (like alphard spins right at place sometimes, or just resets)
Than lupi can still be skipped someone told me etc. etc. etc. etc.

YOUR DUNGEONS ARE IN A VERY BAD STATE ( sry caps) for kittens sake pls fix this already..its almost the only thing ppl who dont like zerging and like to have a challenge have.

worst thing is brie right now for me cause i cant finish the dungeon and maybe she actually resets at 10% so its not possible to do this path…

share you experiences with bugged arah here pls to make the devs aware of this, its realy not funny anymore.

Groupe Merging is still working, i just got kicked out of my path 4 i was selling and some idiot merged the grps! didnt you wanted to fix this for a few days?
Well it hasnt worked!
i sold it, 3 spots, everyone lost his money..
How can you create such thing who the hell want to seriously merge grps?

anyways GG

btw: i probably got reported for scamming im pretty sure noone mentioned that we got merged, so if you bann me, well thats pretty … lets call it “evil” , cause grp merging happens all the time and simply causes suffering (mental ofc) and you created it

how do you know so much about this? did they say anything about how exactly they gonna change it?

spoj.9672:

Nerfing crit damage wont effect the meta. It might make rampager necro and engi stronger than their zerker counterparts though. But neither versions of those classes is an optimum choice for dungeons. Therefore meta unchanged, just slowed down slightly. People will continue to cry about being excluded from zerker groups.

I dont give a crap about dungeons.. but what about pvp/wvw?

We just all run rampage gear?? atleast its balanced ;-P

Making crit damage less effective in both pvp/wvw is a hard nerf and there is just no point to not use rampage gear

Nerfing maximum crit damage by half will obviously affect the meta once you get on equal level with the 9k per second necromancer and become unable to crit above 20k with hundred blade. Well then im about to undust my minion master necromancer and watch the dev video with popcorns as they decapitate critical damage in a public execution.

wow…. so much hate o.o

well guys wildstar is comming! maybe there wont be a playerbase as ridiculous as here.

I can also happen that you push him around a little and he does it out of a spin or something that may be tricky and can hit unexpected, and if you have a pet or an ember it can also happen that he is aggroing the ember and you feel quite save and during 0,5sec he turns to you and instantly kicks..
also reading the guildchat can be deadly in this situation

You need to get a feeling of it, theory gives not much, its all about practise, one day you get a feeling for his kicks, and everything else!

I actually love the world events in small grps, its pretty fun! But when a zerg shows up, all fun is (atleast for me) completely ruined.
I rarely do them with lots of ppl anymore it just gives me a headache from all those effects and shaking <.<
Anet should give the Boss a devastating atack which whipes 80% of the zerg when it scales up to 10 ppl or something. Than we have to work together at a community to kill that evil.

btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwzR9hjuNP4
i just leave it here, cause i want some clicks x) (moar videos comming soon)
i love her <3
there are some cool bosses out there, the whole problem is , the chellange they offer simply gets destroyed when a zerg shows up.

They dont care! they dont give kitten!

just like the honey badger, but not as cool.
See where they put there focus, gemstore items and living story which ofc supports the gem store items….

i wrote a thread #for 8months ago or more, that the toolkit on engineer looks like a bomb kit. (it should be a very easy change shouldnt it?) it still looks like a bomb kit. ofc its not that much of a issue as the instance stuff.
but they dont care! they just dont give a kitten.

Gj
But i ,personally, have to say its not much impressive since its ranged.

wethospu and sanderinoa´s duo at 48 was way cooler, since they meleed.
why not melee?^^

see anet! thats the playerbase you support with that achievment grind – “content”

How ppl just arent aware of the dodge function <.< .. i dont get it.

My Tipp for the OP; learn to dodge and survive through skill and skills. Its not that hard, jsut learn the enemies atacks and dodge correctly. use blocks, blinds, invul and projectil reflection against their atacks etc.
I play all classes as berserker and its not special, not hard, not pro, not anything but just the way the game is.

Toughness and Vitality gear is completely useless in PVE, because you can survive everything with skill.
Get it!

yea, its intensely haunted

Its horrible and totally bugged, i doubt they pay attention to this, than they dont pay attention to ALOT and i mean A LOOOOOOOOOT of stuff that is broken or bugged, or old and boring, besides the living story.

Bought it and even worst than i thought, it has the same effect on the AA like the legendary, it may sounds cool but i dont like it.

I get so much dissapointed from gw2 q.q….

DONT DO IT IF YOURE ASURA!!! and dont like the auothit changes form the legendary
Its ridiculously small on asura, and … “see picture” THIS!!!! W ! T ! F ! it totally ruins the autoatack from fire and water TOTALLY…

Yea its pretty kittened up..

My Question goes to the Devs btw, hope to get a response.
shouldnt be that hard to just scale it up abit

Achievements
I dont really care much about them, but i have fun sometimes with getting a few, so there are achievments and i can get them if i want, thats cool :>

Rewards
Its ok, i dont have much interesst in those, but the minis are cool

Gameplay
I have to say, its pretty awesome. Its a good and fun solo challenge, there are enough places where you can fight without zerg. The instances are fun, the art-style is awesome as usual, simply the whole design of that thing is just great. Sadly it will be gone soon( i have much fun just fighting there.
Story
Well…scarlet again.. but i dont have direct interests in the story, and dont read the ones on the homepage. But i like the texts of the NPCs while hallucinating hallucinating is fun
Favorite Element
Definitely to fight the Molten Alliance mobs, and the brawler _, so awesome, i love them! just perfect for that combat system!

Least Favorite Element
Endboss isnt that dangerous as it should be, should be deadly and powerful, its not much

Personal comment
I wrote quite few whiners in the forums, i feel sorry now… this one….its very cool, except the usual living story issue that it will be gone soon.
Hope to see more such stuff, and elite areas, etc. (yes it kinda felt like a elite are, the pollum debuff is hardmode stuff as a squishy ele :d)
SPLITTING THE ZERG! is a good thing.
I will spend some real money in the gem store for the dagger, to thank you :P, sadly the dagger is pretty small on asura o.o

Cant it be a bit bigger on Asura? :o
I see that the effect kinda fits up for it, but its soo tiny, other daggers arent like this. I know its relatively small on other races too, but on asura its almost invincible

I think the tower is pretty cool, for solo /duo, i like it challenging not 1 spamming to death.
But when a zergs shows up its all ruined it gets not even ridiculously easy, it is extremely annoying too, i mean in a zerg grp, it vanishes the whole combat system beauty, the whole need for movment and inovation (dont know the right term, maybe that what thiefs has) .
Im pretty sure its not me , it just completely ruin the game, COMPLETELY, if zerging would be everywhere i would quit the game right now. But good thing i can go in a lonely corner and have fun for myself, but hardly during the day in the god kitten tower!

The Molten Alliance guys for example are very fun to fight but zergs shows up – funs gone
Its ridicolous!

And not even that i , personally, get extremely mad when i see how bad the ppl in the zerg actually are, which probably are those who complain than how god kitten hard and imba everything is…
Dont even try to dodge those OBVIOUS atacks from the Toxic Demos ( i think) which has this powerful hit.
Dont try to dodge anything, im not even sure if they knoew this option.
I saw a necro who had a elite toxic bullwark on aggro, and he loaded that hit he does, which takes around 10sec or something oO, dont you think he walked just a step back? Nope. didnt care and ofc hes a “Veteran of the Mists” hes wearing this sweet pvt gear which prevented him from getting onehittet, but than another hit came and he died (no dodge whatsoever) anyways.

PLEASE put extremely hard champions into zerg action, Zerging (in pve) is the most stupidest , easiest, boring thing ive ever saw in any game, and its not worth playing it for me.
Those champions in orr are quite cool for example, Zerging is atleast a bit fun if 50% of the zergs dies all the time, and maybe just MAYBE ppl start learning the system because they dont like being dead, and actually start paying attention to the game and not to the TV next to them.

please think about it, the living story is kinda the main content isnt it? because you dont give a kitten about dungeons, or the other stuf ingame beside living story, but zerging sucks so much there is no tactic, no anything just grinding, yes GRINDING!!! GRINDING EVERYWHERE AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahaahaa Q.q
