Guild Wars 2

hahah our hotw p1 record was perfect timing :P

Oh and about melandru in p4, i created a tactic to solo him, it’s just as easy as the currently popular one kite one damage tactic. I’ll share it once i finish a few things i plan on doing:)

Se p2 can be soloed miku, i have done it, you have to use a safespot for the first boss though but to do it legit isn’t possible because he heals too often :P oh and duo legit is really easy with mes + warrior

Yeh Anet said the ferocity patch which will probably reduce zerkers damage by 10% was just the first step in balancing, so i think it’s very likely that in the future they will buff conditions in pve as their next balance step but this is just me speculating.

Edit- fixed my horrible grammar

I don’t even understand your thought process, if bosses can be soloed by a zerker who has all the aggro, how is giving him all the aggro in a 5 man group going to create the need for tanks?

Edit: This will just promote even less skillfull play if the other 4 don’t have to dodge and will result in good players carrying noobs even more than they already do

Purple Miku.7032:

-everybody else needs to use Superior Runes of the Flock so they can summon birds every time they’re hit for more DPS.

The sad thing is i met a thief at fotm level 49 using these runes.

Lunar Sunset.8742:

4 rifle warriors and a ranger with shortbow, bleed stacks are important.

That ranger needs to use longbow, his random use of the skill 4 knockback is more important.

nice:) how did lupi go?

I made a quick little video showing how to do it really easily on ranger,mesmer,thief,warrior and guardian. I don’t have necro and engineer and can’t open explorable mode with ele :p but i hope this is helpful for anyone who needs it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQs6mh2ks30

I realised after writing the comment but hoped no one would notice, kitten you leo :P

No idea, LuPi did it with hotw p1 aswell they didn’t actually claim it on gwscr and Kr haven’t posted it on gwscr (yet). But yeh i realise it wasn’t a casual run but they personally haven’t said it’s the record.

I don’t think he ever actually claimed it to be a record which is why he laughed at the unrestricted / restricted comments. It was just a run by their guild. Good job

Lord Kuru.3685:

Is it possible to melee solo her without running away to recuperate? I believe i can be done for warrior and thief — what about other professions?

This is a really tedious fight solo.

Yeh, with mesmer you just use untraited wardens so his knockback arrow doesn’t hit and you can afk. With ranger with bear the bear takes 100% of the aggro so you can sword autoattack afk

I don’t know if you’ll consider this an exploit and whether you’d like to use this tactic but i’ll tell you it anyway as it might be of help. You aggro belka, then run past the bone wall near the deadeye and his goons, once the bone wall breaks run back to him and he no longer teleports meaning you can just melee him without him moving then go behind the strcuture next to him when you get too low on hp, with this tactic you’re always in melee range so don’t have to dodge the one shot attack

I like the idea :P I’m sure next week we’ll see a post by a watery eyed longbow ranger saying “anet need to stop navigators and evaders”.

Don’t join these groups, i joined a 6k ap group and met a cleric mace guardian for cof p1.

Slither Shade.4782:

enter the dungeon first and your problem is solved

It’s true that this solves the problem for said individual but what about the other 4 players? If every single player had the “i must enter first” mentality, every pug group would have one player in it.

Am i the only one who actually liked debbys music

Anierna.6918:

because otherwise, cm 1 would be faster than cof. and we cant have that, can we?

Edit: 300 sec flood control, wut?

Not faster than cof you say?

nice job goku, so much faster than anyone else :o

Tear.6927:

someone did this 1 month ago already (5min 55s)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQmjAw1gNew

If you read his post you would realise that he acknowledged that goku had already done it.. the people who can’t read lfg’s must be spreading to the forum :o

Join a group of 4 other newbies? rather than force vets to play with you

But in answer to OP, Ah isn’t worthless but it isn’t optimal. Just play how you want with like minded people who don’t use optimal builds and you’ll have fun:)

Deathpanel damage builds can provide protection, blind, invuln, aegis, condi remove and stability just like AH does, while doing 10 fold the damage AH does. You’re only possible argument is " I provide heals " or " I can tank mobs" which are poor arguments since nothing in this game is difficult enough to require healers/tanks . But if I am wrong please inform my ignorance..

Anierna.6918:

You just made it too easy, joey! The idea was to throw him little bits of info (such as my use of the word “minion” in my prior post) to make the moron think for once, maybe even look up previous threads on this same topic before wasting everyone’s time with more QQ.

Sorry:(

Yami.2613:

What youtuber Are you refering to?

A popular pvp necromaner who posts crappy pve builds, I’m sure you can work it out

cifer.2357:

not thief but faster regardless

Ram Banson.4081:

different professions are like different worlds

Nice job blub:)

“exp” is subjective, I recently joined an arah group who said “exp only”. We got to lupi and they ranged lupicus and didn’t dodge grubs so i had to keep running to them and killing the grubs. I considered them bad players however I can’t deny they were experienced at ranging and had obviously done lupicus several times, you need to be more precise about what “experienced” means as it is a subjective word which means different things to different people.

Alex.9106:

Lupicus has his kick in phase 1 and his melee claw attack (similar to kick) in phase 2.

The crystall should be destroyed by teammates if you dont go solo, but if you go solo just learn how to dodge

You don’t need to dodge the crystal to solo it, thief has blinks and steal to escape.

i still can’t tell if you’re braindead or a troll.

Ahh right, yeh it was a year ago. I just mentioned you because you’re the best solo warrior i have seen

Good job! i remember reading a comment by wethospu saying he couldn’t do this boss on warrior, real nice job

yeh no doubt it is, even without feathers it probably is

spoj.9672:

They should still be fine for the forward skip. But I never understood lods use of mesmer in up path. Its faster to just have the whole group rush through the first blossoms and mobs than wait for the slow mesmer to portal people.

It was us , and we did it because the other 4 stacked might while waiting, mesmer is a little slower but if we all ran together we would have saved a few seconds but then lost time might stacking after the skip. Also the feather event kept bugging so we didn’t want to wait for everyone to get feathers if i’m honest XD

They try to encourage team work, look at many of the mechanics which require more than one person, I like the idea but sadly this would never happen.

cifer.2357:

Please tell me there’s a better way to duo Melandru because that is just far too slow for my liking. This is exactly why majority of the Arah P4 sellers skipped the first 3 bosses. It’s not worth it at all. Anyway good job on the duo though but kitten Melandru.

it probably could be meleed easily with the right tactic, i didn’t try, i might in the future

J Eberle.9312:

My prediction is he says it’s not legit unless you stack on each boss, press only your one key and don’t dodge.

Then i shall grab my clerics gear and enter once more!

Warcry.1596:

This is me and 1-3 of my friends every day… I’ll have one of them stream it since im unable to

yeh it’s not that hard to duo p4, the dungeon solos i have done were more challenging i don’t know why you would want to do this everyday anyway:p

nightzirch.3126:

Still impressive. Well done both of you

thanks

I decided to duo this path without exploits after reading a post by “a t s e.9614” saying he doubts anyone could solo or even duo it without exploiting and he said 0% of p4 sellers are legit.
So i did it with no boss skipping/jump puzzles/boss bugging/safespots or any other exploits this dungeon has. There were a couple of fails that i cut out, but it was pretty smooth for our first time doing it legit, but of course it would be more efficient and faster with more pratice.

For anyone interested:

Yeh i literally just came back to this thread to say I realised it’s a path that can’t be done anymore so no point me even disputing it haha

that video starts at the previous start before the aetherpath change, the place where cookie said to start is here http://i.imgur.com/Uyif7qm.jpg .

You said timer should start here " http://i.imgur.com/Uyif7qm.jpg " so why does rT’s Ta record stand since their timer starts elsewhere because they did it before the Ta aetherpath update

The cof p1 isn’t current meta they use the safespot that has been nerfed.
Or is that not considered significant? maybe not on second thought

a t s e.9614:

Do you mean ele is high DPS after their 3 hours fire combo right? This non-sense takes too much time. Wars would just click on FGJ and destroy everything while the ele would still be finishing his combo .

. Look up goku , he is clearing arah paths in 9 min with the old school CoF team. U know why ,because there no wall to stack against in arah

If you watch goku’s ele+ warrior duo on lupi or the trio with an ele you would realise he uses fgs into the wall please just be quiet

jesus i need to stop with the questions but one more; what specifically do you mean by boss disabling, does standing on the coral at the ooze boss in arah p1 count as disabling or just a safespot? I think that rule may cause some confusion, it did for me anyway

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

joey the creator.3587:

since none of the current records meet rule 2 are you going to wipe all the records?

Yes. We will be starting fresh. That means it would be wise to not do any record pushes for the rest of this week.

Okay well thats fair, it might also gather more interest from people since it’s starting afresh

since none of the current records meet rule 2 are you going to wipe all the records?

sorry i misread :P

I agree with these rules for the most part just one thing though, town clothes? i think it was the executioner outfit ( correct me if im wrong) but it gives more mobility to classes like mesmers and since it can’t be obtained anymore isn’t it unfair to those who don’t own it? especially for legit rules
