So it’s use a toughness character to capture agro or range now?

Sounds like a job for me then, but likely someone will do it before and my solo would suck in other parts anyway.

I’m having trouble seeing it useful even in WvW to be honest. People blasting water fields on commander demand in damage+armor gear will be more useful than guardians rolling around (literally) with silly traits and gear.
Commander builds.
I feel silly now considering I was doing something similar with my commander tag character just to be able to type in the middle of battleground.
That was really long ago though. Also still a very niche thing. This set will be a large noob trap.

So thats why Izzy asked for new stat combinations a few months ago.
God, what have we done …You can see that it was a popularity contest for the uninformed masses. Its a shame really. We could of got a new improved rampager stat if people had been a bit more intelligent.
Or a full offensive combo. Power-precision-condition-ferocity. Whoa.

Since when Nightmare Knights finish their attacks if you interrupt them mid-cast?
Since Nightmare Knights have always been permanently broken and painful. limps away after Knight pokes her
I don’t know. They’ve always been pretty nasty though.
When clearing your way to Leurent and Knight spawns away from the long hallway it’s not that convenient to dodge him with the density of blossoms and the little space between Leurent and Knight agro zone edges. So I tried to do it through CC burst.
Nuh-uh. He either continued the animation to the end or dropped down but still finished the skill. Wow. Rude.
But kitten , these guys are hardcore. Weakness, blind, cripple, knockdown and damage of a truck collision. I once soloed the Wardens duo without pulling them apart. Holy double kittens from hell, that was intense. Had to go all out on the dodges and endurance regen though.

Simple: People shouldn’t farm it, or if they farm it, they should not get rewarded for simply farming it, or the design need to improve.

I think this boss is fine the way that it is atm. Giving him more HP doesn’t seem necessary and it has some pretty cool attacks that make the encounter more interesting than most.
You want a “boss” that’s too easy? Legendary Jotun Skygazer.
He’s the hardest. His “fight” hypnotizes you into sleep, then bam – fire under your feet.

You’d be a honey if you gave a quick overview of what went better this time.
I believe you understand how it’s hard to keep attention watching something so overdone yet still interesting in details.

If you wanted to do damage as a heavy, you should have gone warrior, not guardian, fix yourself please, and thank you.
Maybe you phrased it like this by accident but I am so angry now.

I don’t have a clue how do people have the patience to sell that path.
Ended up giving those spots for free more than once. We were doing that mostly for fun back then so it didn’t hurt much, but I don’t think it’s profitable.

I don’t think I’ve ran Arah 3 with a party in half a year or more so I simply don’t remember: does WoR reflect the poison AoE shot?
Defeated by packet loss.
What is hunter/crusher?
First boss encounter of the Forgotten path in Arah.
Defeated by packet loss.
Wall of reflection isn’t necessary for hunter/crusher yet it is a nice quality of life for the party. Do you use it?
Y/N
What do you mean isn’t necessary, the autoattack kittening immobilizes, I would rage with a force of a thousand blinding suns if something wasn’t blocking it.

There’s nothing to pick up in place of dual wield. And taking it off only because you use greatsword more doesn’t make too much sense to begin with.

But what if stacking might and fiery rushing into a corner is PHIW for me?
Defeated by packet loss.
When he does AoE lifesteal, GS3 out of it and dodge once. Switch back to your axe/sword and you will have full endurance. As soon as he does the single target lifedrain, dodge twice, then switch back to greatsword. Repeat.
That seems interesting ima try it. Any other tips?
Try using WA only to dodge during single target drain (you still need to dodge second time manually). Then only to dodge the AoE lifesteal during a different run. Then try to combine accquired knowledge. Just surviving after getting those two timings down should be easy but you need to think forward keeping your cooldowns and possible upcoming Lupicus attacks to be able to do optimal dps rotations along with saving WA dodges.
Phase 3 was the easiest for me without stamina signet since you’re a lot less reliant on WA to not get one-shotted and have more windows to get WA after like a GS second autoattack.

I always thought he resets at the statue. Welp. Everything is suddenly easy.
Defeated by packet loss.
His autoattacks aren’t too hard to dodge at around max melee range, but a good place to LoS him around past 75% is beyond me.
Otherwise just raneg him, yeah. I wonder if anyone did the math, cause in full ranged situation I believe swapping rifle and bow back and forth for maximum bursts is more dps than just camping bow. But no real info here.
Defeated by packet loss.
Yeah I thought so.
I ended up leaving, as they were trying to run Malrona into a corner, thus all dying from poison.
Thanks.
Well that’s something new for me.
I mean, there’s enough walls to push her in right beside her if you wanna use conjures/whirlwinds.

lol just kitten those kids over so they can go whine about party system
better luck next time
Though I barely was ever kicked when I was a dead weight but I wouldn’t mind since I learned something by observing and next time people wouldn’t have a reason to.

I’ve been thinking of a gauntlet-like thing for a while. With the introduction of megaservers would be even cooler since you could just place the content currently anavailable on demand for organised groups/solo players here.
Will probably write it all down in notepad sometime and let it rot somewhere in GD.

Rather for something too vague.

I don’t really see what then. Frenzied blasts in phases 2 and 3 are the only things that are sorta rngish.
Defeated by packet loss.
Well I’ve been thinking about some concepts and attack patterns that would have us do something sort of new with old resources, but none of those are nearly polished so I prefer to keep them to myself.
Defeated by packet loss.
Why would anyone want to keep him in phase 1 lmao.
Oh well, probably underwater stuff.
Play thief, you’ll understand… If there only was a legal way to do it, lol.
I’m usually very lucky with frenzied blast, so nah.
Defeated by packet loss.
Where do you guys dance around the Magecrusher on warrior by the way? Been trying strating standing at the entrance side of the pedestal, but after 75% I have trouble keeping him around it. He really likes to whack me with an auto in the face each time I break LoS with him and it’s pretty tough to find a spot here that isn’t often covered with symbols, keeps line of sight and is in max melee range, since his autoattacks are kinda hard to dodge closeup. And dodging might have him break the LoS again. Add hands respawning here and I’m likely dead.
Always can range him to death, but that’s hella boring.

A long corridor filled with champion mobs.
All 600 units wide. And columns to LoS them behind those in groups of 5.

I want them to be full of bosses with 600 units diameter hitboxes so I can spam fiery rush without walls.

You can also always be bad like me and use signet of stamina.

Sword + Pistol- cleaves locusts and lupi, if he spawns too many at once you can always back up a small bit so he can’t kick you.
That’s actually something I would never do in that situation. If he cannot kick you, he will spawn locusts every 2nd attack.
The delays are roughly the same. Kiting 8 or more locusts while attacking the boss if you get terrible rng can be frustrating for players new to the fight.

I’ve been told people learned how to kill Lupicus in ways involving swimming.

It sure blows that with the college finals I’m kinda sorta out of time and energy to remember how to play something other than warrior somewhere outside Arah and form a group for the tourney. Oh well.
What are the EU dungeon guilds that are accepting new people? Now that I’m seemingly back in shape with the Arah soloing it’d be cool to team up with someone. At least after I’m done with studies.

Watching this again always makes me laugh, I was playing so poorly even forgot I didn’t trait fast hands at times lolz.
I tend to do that very often along with not swapping weapons. Led to some awkward solos. Though I use stamina signet for Lupicus so that never screwed me up completely. Rather be safe than angry after greatsword autoattack locks you up and you don’t get whirlwind off or sword block casts too slow due to a lagspike.
Oh and the joy of realising you’ve had the wrong greatsword for the whole dungeon at Brie even though their models are completely different.
God, I am clumsy.

I just got kicked from 2 different parties. 1 was selling a run for 8g and then the 2nd run was selling final boss for 20g. Like seriously, Im going to give you 20g for what.. a couple of pieces of loot and maybe 2g if Im lucky.
I feel like this is a ruse. This person is likely pretending to be a complete goof to lure us into a pointless argument.
Oh you sly trickster, I won’t fall victim to such jest.

Yeah, adrenal health is an okay way to make things easier for bosses like Alphard or Fyonna.

If Im perfectly honest with you. I think every dungeon apart from maybe Arah needs a complete revamp. For a start, most of the bosses in this game can be just described as tank and spank. Oh wait, there’s no tank, so we just got spank.
How is Arah any different by this logic?
