Yes, this game will die. Eventually. Anytime soon? No. I've seen MMO games in far worse shape which are still going years later. GW2 is not the top MMO, but MMOs overall are in decline and among the pack GW2 still has a very strong position. You may not like LW releases but please dont act as they dont constitute new content. That is pure fallacy. In fact, LW patches could serve as a model genre-wide definition of new content. Yeah, I would also like to get a new big expansion. But the fact that we don't get one does not mean that GW2 lacks new content. If you are worried that GW2 will die I have a news flash for you. You will die as well. Does that mean you can't enjoy your life for now? If you like playing GW2, keep doing so and just enjoy it. If not, move ahead to something else.

Few years ago I did that on my thief with a lot of evasion traits and zerker burst. I suspect daredevil might work good now and be even easier. But this year I did it on my lazy-ranger custom build which I often use when I want to farm stuff around in PvE. It's a Wilderness Survival - Skirmishing - Druid build with focus on Shortbow condi damage, heavy use of Survival skills and some keep-alive boost from druid. In this build the problem of running out of time does not exist and you dont even have to focus on damaging Liadri or aim at her. Just run around and she will simply die from your Shortbow auto-attack spam and bleed damage (in fact you need to be careful to not kill her before 8 orbs and most likely turn your autoattack off at some point). With 4 Survival skills and Celestial Avatar you have a spam of condition cleanse at your disposal (to get rid of cripple) and with Natural Stride you move faster around (33%) which is helpful when avoiding shades. Stuck in a kill-zone? You have faster endurance regen from Wilderness Survival tree, evade skill on shortbow and Lightning Reflexes. All with low cooldowns. Quickening Zephyr also gives you superspeed which coupled with its innate condi cleanse is yet another out-of-jail card. Your shortbow is also great at killing those pulling orbs quickly and from safe range. Add two bear tanks to stay alive as long as possible and distract Liadri (she will lunge at them from time to time instead of you) and this build is incredibly easy compared to other ideas to beat her (though I am not sure, mesmer might be better but I never was a mesmer expert). It took me some tries but I was at 6+ orbs fairly often before I finally killed her. You just need to get a bit of luck with crystal timing and placement. I even forgot to eat food boost lol.
