Always nice to see these. Wonderfully done!
Healers aren’t max dps, PS warriors aren’t max dps, chronomancers aren’t max dps, engis take slick shoes for gorseval, eles often take lightning flash,… All raids have breakbars that have to be broken quickly to avoid massive damage (in most cases). They are pretty much to the letter what OP is asking for.
Well of precognition (the mesmer skill).
You’re confusing things. What they nerfed was parties not breaking the breakbar for the express purpose of avoiding having to move the boss around to play around the hot zones. Whether or not the boss was in the middle was completely irrelevant for that tactic.
And if you loathe the mechanic I think you still don’t completely understand it because I really don’t see what you could possibly dislike about it. If you move the boss at the right time no green circle will ever spawn in a hot zone as for as I know. It punishes bad timing and slow movement.As for the second. The mere act of a raid wiping mechanic being able to spawn on a floor that kills you is, in my opinion, a bad mechanic. Then again, maybe we just have different ideas on what good or bad mechanics are, and there is nothing wrong with that.
You’re still acting like the green circle can just randomly appear anywhere. You’re not wiping because you can’t get to the green circle in the hot zone. You’re wiping because it appeared there in the first place. It appeared there because the party kittened up. This is like saying lupi is an unfair boss because he has too much health after getting 25 grub stacks.

The circle appearing in the fire zone is because you didn’t move him quickly enough. It is not RNG. Making sure this doesn’t happen is probably the hardest thing about the fight.
You’re doing something wrong.
Impressive as always.
Get an ascended weaponset and 1 armor piece and get a +9 instead of 8 and you’re set. Doesn’t cost that much.
But you can be mossman! Or the anomaly guy!
Ride of The Valkyries playing while you swoop in. I’d pay for that.
for those of us new to fractals what is it?
Endless fractal tonic: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Endless_Fractal_Tonic
One of the rarest drops in the game.
Fractals are basically a kind of dungeons. If they don’t add the word dungeons, people who don’t play GW2 will have no idea what they’re talking about.
Every profession can solo a path that doesn’t need more than 1 player, though i’m not sure about ac p1
Ele (very good eles, that is) can solo the burrows in AC p1 with ice bow, staff and FGS . Thief can do it by stealthing hodgins though it takes a long time. I don’t think I’ve seen other classes do it.
Also don’t use any elites, never swap weapons and be blindfolded please.
Careful, hardcore player here;
2x Staff Ele
1x Phalanx Warrior
1x Thief
1x Mesmer or Guard works for most of the dungeons.Ranger and Engi can be nice too but we hardly have them in our groups.
Necro is pretty selfish, so no necro for us!
Is phalanx warrior + 2 staff ele better dps than dps war + staff ele and LH ele?
They probably had 3 warriors too.
Could things like jumping over the door in CoE get you banned? Bannable stuff seems like a pretty good place to draw the line.
Today was definitely a bad day for me in dungeoning…. was doing our usual tour and encountered a few bugs which meant we couldn’t finish some paths and had to reset. Most mind boggling was the effing clown car in SE p3 which just decided to sink and never surface again -__-.
I’ve had that happen too. Pretty funny. If you turn your volume all the way up you can softly hear the dredge yelling ‘fuuuuuuuuuck yooooouuuuuuuuu’
I don’t know what you mean above there. But what I mean is that in a dungeon run it is nearly impossible to get 20 seconds time window to switch traits so you build is more optimal for boss ahead. If you do you risk running into already killed one by 4 others.
There’s time while running. Good players often switch traits between encounters.
Thanks for the run Zui (and Miku)! Was good fun and I learned a lot. Now I can finally add arah to my daily dungeons (and get my dungeon master, if p3 doesn’t bug out again).
I don’t think this could be manipulated. There are too many people running dungeons.
And there already is a diminishing returns on dungeon rewards. You only get the full reward for a specific path the first time each day you run it
This is a very interesting idea. Would you advertise the reward for a path somewhere ingame, so people can choose depending on the reward, or would you not show it and trust that people will assume they can do any path and be properly rewarded?
A problem with this is that it will mess with the economy, which Anet won’t like. Dungeon running looks like it will be much more profitable and good speed clearing groups will have a major advantage, because the hardest and longest dungeons are also the ones where speed running is more effective and makes more of a difference. Because the reward will be based on the average runtime, the longest dungeons will now be the most profitable and the difference in gold earned between semicasual runs and speedruns will be at a maximum. I myself think being good at the game should be rewarded, so I like this, but I don’t think Anet will.

Short guides for every fractal. These vids are amazing, I recommend you watch them all if you haven’t already.
Since the update one of the possible daily achievements is finishing a single fractal.
It’s pretty stupid. You’re not supposed to do just one fractal.
Exp plz 5k+ AP war only speedrun.
Probably dotaplayers in that party.
Dungeons and fractals were designed for 5 man parties. You won’t be be able to do them with 2 people.
It is possible to solo or duo dungeons but it requires very good knowledge of the dungeon and game mechanics. It’s one of the most difficult things you can do in this game. And for some dungeons it’s simply impossible because they have puzzles that require 5 people.
Would like an invite for EU. I do most dungeon paths often and am pretty familiar with them but want to learn the finer things better, like boss tells and helpful tricks for efficiency. Same for fractals. I’d love to run dungeons with some of the pros in this thread.
