FerrenoNL.7928:

Finally a Lupi solo.

Special thanks to Laula, Gab and Blessing for putting up with me pouting, lol.

Congrats!! I am almost there, almost.

Today, on arah, I met a venom share thief.

We were waiting at the typical stealth point:
…
…
…
…
Me: “smoke field, pls”.
Thief: “no, I am a venom share thief”.
Me:“omg”
Then thief explained what a venom share thief is…

I think all of us raced for the kick button.

Here is my guide on how to solo lupicus as a warrior. Full gothrough is in description.
http://youtu.be/iuMgBBlWz58

I know it was a joke, but I am finding that going full settlers is the best way to learn him, at least his tells. (importantly, now I can predict when he is going to kick).
I am dying at phase 2.
EDIT: back on warrior and melee by the way.

Jerus, I love you.
Engi is so great:
You can AFK Belka with turrets ( they keep all the aggro and, with traited autotool installation and metal plating, they never die),and ,to be safe, elixir-infused bomb, backpack regeneration and steal-on-crit-food. Much faster than a warrior cause you don’t have to retreat at all.
Abomination. Again a pain. I tend to lose aggro, other than that, not that big of a deal.
Skips: executioner axe + stealth+blocks+invul. Easy.
Lupi: range= no kick XD! Still practicing putting him on the wall. When I am able to do it, I don’t have any issues to reach phase 2. Thanks also to Zui and Brazil. Being at range allowed me to learn properly how to dodge the scrubs animation. This is the way to go, learning each step.

Sorry, my English is quite bad.

I meant that I was a follower of your guru’s posts.

Metabattle is good for PVE, and a point of start for PvP and WvW (as you have seen). I thought it was enough taking into account your background.

Day 2.
a)I reliably get to lupi now.
b)Better at dodging grubs.
c) Better at putting him on wall.

d) didn’t put him on phase 2.

Tomorrow more.

Ty Zui, nice tips. Step by step. You are right, I wanted to build the house from the roof.

Hey. Little update.

Harny and Lloyd help me back there.
I died so many times that I mastered the skips, Belka and the Abu (changed to a condi spec for that).
Then Lupi… omg I suck. But at least I am able to get to him. So now is a matter of time.

Tyvm guys!

Drop bundle i believe. Its a little weird to get used to though.

It didn’t work for me. I tried both swapping kits and dropping bundles right after using the skills.

The swap button. A matter of timming. I can show you if you want. But is just that.

Here http://www.dtguilds.com/forum/m/6563292/viewthread/15386797-optimal-dps-rotation

OK. I am able to put him on the wall. Sadly, I don’t get to phase 2 cause its kicks…

Hey, Jerem help me to clean one elite in order to get to lupi.

Right now, I am learning how to put it on the wall…. And keep failing (I am eating all its kicks) XD

Nope. I can’t keep aggro on Abu.
EDIT: I canged to a condi build. Abu: check!

ok. Second one done. Fight to Abu. I failed so many times the 2nd skip, that now I am pretty good with the first one :P

EDIT: Oh, kitten it, I died to Abu…

I am on warrior, doing arah path 2.

Any tips on the second skip?

Yey. Way to, and Belka done. Just learned that strafe rifht and left avoids most of her arrows.
Way to abu now.

Oh, you are right. I’ll check tomorrow.

EDIT: I did a quick test. Damage wise… I really can’t tell, the golem was being pushed too much to perform a reliable rotation. It hits hard tho.
What is noticiable is:
1) the rotation is not that easy (specially cause firefield from bomb#2 is quite short).
2)Less might and vuln compared to meta build.
3) It lacks all the utlity from EG.
So the metabuild (and I assuming same dps) supports far better the group.

It’s called “meta” because it’s the best for most people. Most builds there wasn’t invented by the site owner but copypastarino from other credited sources, usually well known players of the class.

That moment when meaning of Meta change from “most effective” to “user friendly”

The meta engi build is certainly less user friendly than your bomb kit build.

Well “engi meta build” is just an example of what I am talking about. I cant say its bad build but far from most effective. And as you said rotation is unneccessary complicated.
Now some noob copy it and is ofc very bad in playing it (sure he dont forget to tell you its meta so he dont even try something different) so he make even worse name for all engineers. And then ppl wanna kick you from speed run “because engi low dps” and its incredibly hard to convince them that engi has 2nd best dps in game because only thing they see around are meta builds what didnt reach max dps even if you run that overcomplicated rotation like a boss.

I asked your build and rotation, long ago, in another post… Still waiting.
I would love to test your build on the mist golem.
Thank you very much.

Zui.9245:

Feel free to message me on my NA account (this one) or my EU account (Zui Euro Warrior). If I’m available, I’ll happily help you.

Wow. Thank you guys. Great community we have here.

Jeremlloyd.6837:

I can help you to go to Lupi whenever you want ^^ (when i’m available ofc)

Nice. I can’t today, but I will contact you tomorrow.

If you’re looking to practice Lupi, p1/p2 have a faster run from before the waypoint. p1 requiring help though so if you’re going to solo p2, if you have a group either one really.

no clue if you’re NA/EU but if you’re NA feel free to add me to friends I love arah and would love to help you get there and practice Lupi.

Sadly I am EU. I’d have loved to see 2 engis going wild.

Doh, well if you ever want any pointers let me know, I honestly think Engi takes it as easiest solo, easier than warrior… well talking Zerk builds, not 2hour nomad faceroll build

I don’t do it as quickly/efficiently as Dub or those guys, but I get it done, so many tools on engi to avoid damage.

Sure! Let me practise, first so I have proper questions doubts.

Ty oxtred, much appreciated.

Hi.
My goal for this christmas is to learn lupi whereabouts. The problem is that everyone is onshotting it. So I guess I should go and learn to solo it.
I am still quite inexperienced with arah, so what do you recommend me: p2 or p3?

What are Alliance Battles? http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Alliance_Battles

A new PvP format?

I can’t get a group for arah p4; anyone willing to help a poor arah rookie?
I am on EU.

Updated for ideal dual sigil use and for potions, I even bowed down to the idea of Skale venom.

p.s let me know if people think anything is wrong or could be better!

Sorry, I am not native speakrr. What does bowed down means?

Is this meant to be funny? I don’t understand

No. Is an honest question. I am from Spain, and even with the word reference, I am not sure wether you find Skale venom useful or not.

Nimrud.5642:

Hello,

I play thief, ele and guard for PvE, and I’ve recently noticed that the builds on metabattle are not identical with the ones in the GW2 forums. Namely Obal’s and DEKeyzToChaos’. To be more specific: sigils. To be even more specific: universal day-time sigils. (So NOT monster-slaying sigils but those that are viable for any daytime content.) Obal suggests accuracy, strength and fraility (depending on build/group setup/weapon/etc.) and DEKeyz suggests strength and bloodlust for D/F ele. While metabattle goes all the way with fraility sigils. So which is the correct information? (For slow-hitting weapons fraility sigils dont look so appealing to me. Maybe good for my thief though…)

There is no right or wrong here. The only matter is which one is the most efficient in your case. Frailty is cheap and vulnerability stacking is universally useful in any casual groups. Accuracy is helpful when you have to use build that deviates far from the Precision trait line. It is pretty much useless on classes that stack precision like mesmer or engi. Battle is good for builds that cannot self-stack might and strength for fast hitting weapon skills and a cheaper alternative. Bloodlust is good against waves of trashmobs. Other than that, just go with different slaying sigil. 2 silver or so per use.

Just had to mention, there’s still some room on Engi unless you’re grouping with a ranger, personally I rarely do that (not a choice thing just doesn’t happen /shrug). So I use accuracy on my general purpose rifle. I have a night/force exotic for most dungeons, force/accuracy ascended, and I was going to craft another ascended just for force/undead for arah, but then I kinda stopped playing for a while.

I end up usign battle/strenght on my engi. With strenght runes that is a 25 stacks of might. Great for soloing or pugging.

But not actual any gameplay. Dub has a lupi solo, but that is all I am aware regarding pve gameplay.

Unfortunatly, we dont have pve youtubers engis…
PvP and Wvw wise ,we have few but good players.
At home I will post the ones I like.

Knox I always read youf posts back on guru days, so wierd seeing you looking for advice :-D

Look here:

Aish. Silly me, I still have hope.

I loved dao. Guess I will give it a try between lupi and lupi.
On the ither hand, I only heard good things about divinity original sin… Decisiobs decisions

How good it is? DAI, I meant.
Seeing a lot of mixed reviews and opinions… And after EA-Bioware last games…I dont really trust them anymore.

5K AP, solve (x+3)^2=3

Engi.

15 char

What I cant stand tho is the new unlock trait system.

Jerus, I saw that video. I understand from pvp balance prespective why the delay and the no-crit thing…still a pain. And a pitty.

You should, so an amazing class. I have to say that the whole fortified turrets thing is quite kitten tho. I have been trying hard (SE is my home now) to be the reflector guy (blocker actually, what a pain that turrets cant crit)… Not very.succesful so far

Now that I think. I recall somevideo testing blinds on dredge.
It was possible, somehow, sometimes,…
