Yesterday I tried to kill him in a pug group and he resetted 3 times in a row, with someone being alive and hitting him… Today the same thing happened once, me and a guildie hitting it with bows while it resetted in his chamber, without any pull tricks. We managed to down him in the end avoiding the walls, but it was nonetheless very frustrating.
We spent about 6.5 hours on this encounter. We had reasonably good dps imo and had one (bugged) try where we almost killed him(2%HP). Few things that are wrong with this boss, or it was wrong for us anyhow:
1., After 25%HP he goes off to heal way too often, this is the most ridiculous part of it.
2., The sparks are extremely hard to position correctly in the available (very short) timeframe
3., The freezing effect is bugged too, sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes it keeps you stunned even after you are being hit by a tear.
4., Sparks just don’t work with pets very well
Imo killing this is only possible via extreme luck, sometimes the boss glitches and you can attack him through the healing phase, unfortunately we could down him when we had this bug. (we didn’t attempt to glitch it purposefully) I saw kill videos, and I’m inclined to think they were just lucky, or this is only got broken recently ..
I just spent 8 hours in Arah the seer’s path. Priest of dwayana boss 3 rangers. SParks pulling on pets is just amazing. Passive mode pets of dead players running off to attack sparks amazing again. One of the other rangers got so angry he is gonna swap his main char for something without a pet.
No patch today?
Be patient, Anet is an american company and they are asleep at the moment xd
I’ve done AC explorable path1 today the first time in my life and I’ve gotten 45 tokens, later on in TA I’ve gotten only 30 for the first of the day. I’m being severely punished with diminishing returns :S
Don’t call 45 lucky, most ppl get 60….
Oh yes, I’ve got this too.
First I went to CoF and done the Magg path, I got rewarded 45 tokens for it. Later on I went an all path TA marathon with the guild, I’ve got 30 for the first, 15 for the second and 15 for the third as well, needless to say 3/ 5 ppl got 60 at each path, one of them had 60 for the first two and 45 for the third.
I have the suspicion that it may be related to the reward silvers, I do get less silver than the others for completing these dungeons (19 for the first of the day).
I did farm CoF and TA quite a lot last week, but haven’t used exploits..
1st CoF run today, surprise surprise 19 silver 45 tokens …………….._.
Update, I’ve done a TA run, it was well over 30 minutes, and I’ve gotten 45 tokens again.
