Lightless Dawn.6503 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 This softlocked my playthrough of the story and required reinstancing to regear with full minstrel's to complete. The damage hits elementalist's lower healthbar far too hard for a minor late stage primary quest objective and this needs to be fixed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitricRose.1863 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Has anyone solved this one? I tried using the jackal to get a barrier, but it still wipes me out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular chapter takes a long time, and then this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Quack.1368 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It's not just on Elementalist. I can't do it on Mesmer either. I don't usually get upset with games but this feels like it maybe should have been tested. Because it really doesn't seem like it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy.5978 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 If you are doing the trial for the key as a condi geared spec it will take the stats you have for your condition damage and hit you with them. Do the trial as a power based gear build and the damage is much more manageable. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on cele the first time before I respeced to minstrels' and prestacked alac on myself. was not expecting to get nuked by a little key on cele gear... looked around for something like the adrenal shrooms but I think it seems more likely that the condi scaling is the real issue... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy.5978 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Tried to do the trial as full viper and got absolutely smoked. A mix of soldier's + berserker gear + mango pie for regen made it much more bearable. Not sure why it scales off one's condition damage.

Mino.8645 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Completed very easily on a condition virtuoso character. 20% to 30% hp left after 1 minute. Did you try "auto running" around in the room, while constantly pressing the 1 skill on your bar? Torment has double damage to non-moving targets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarglewomp.6870 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Super intuitive game mechanic. Promote whoever thought THAT up.. But thanks for the advice, changing into power gear worked for me as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xELDAx.5298 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) i actually managed to do it on elemental....all i did was switch my equipment template to one with no equipment, removing all my equipment/armour removes stats meaning u virtually get hit with no damage...extremely simple..

Fortunately I have another equipment template that is full zerker and the healing was able to outpace the damage entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuChulainn.5940 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I checked the forums a couple days ago regarding condi gear, which I too was equipped as. I stripped everything condi off, and did it in the buff, no problems what so ever. The self heal was more than enough to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
