anonymous.7812 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Looks like they nerfed this fight so that auto-attack 1-skill players can win. Thread success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny.9834 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Lol they finally nerfed it after I beat him with my Holosmith... Just surround him with turrets, then stand on the spike thingy and shoot him at range. gg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not, then too bad for them.On the other hand, it's a free shared inventory slot. That's gonna look awfully tempting to free up, the moment any newbie rolls an alt or runs out of inventory space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnferReine.8043 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I am truly disappointed to see this fight nerfed so heavily.The health drain from pets, minions and illusions being fixed was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!The rest was just pandering to a crowd of people who just want to stand there and press 1 without bothering to learn how to combat the mechanics of a fight which were as simple as walking away.

There is no way I'm ever attempting this again with that much tedious forced story. I don't subject myself to things like this - my time is valuable. Guess I'm done. GG, AN, you got my money for the xpac. Will remember this when I'm ignoring the next one.What the?Hey I wanna play a ROLE PLAY GAME but I don't want any dialogues, story, character build ups, plot twists or anything, I just wanna punch things. Have you ever considered playing a beat 'em up - type game? because clearly rpg's are not your thing.As for the difficulty of the fight - I'm pretty sure I could beat the boss with a naked character with only utility and healing skills and no traits equipped. That's how hard the boss is (not very hard). And I don't consider myself to be in the top 20% of players. The fight isn't much harder then killing an ambient creature, all you have to do is understand 1 mechanic which isn't even unique to that boss and on top of that, many people have postet tipps and trick for every single class in this thread and yet people still complain instead of just trying harder (and again, it's really not that hard...) - if you don't want to "waste" your time playing a game, why do you waste your time complaining about said game?I want you to know I love what you said here and that I love you <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmorland.9486 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I Killed him using my skill 1 on downstate skills he couldn't steal my soul to self heal and i could keep myself alive due to Skill one for necro draining so much health. So technically i cheated lol but its still a win =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeesidhe.4761 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Whether this boss is easy to kill or hard - I'm so sick of Anet's bad, bad, BAD design decisions. 1) First I have to fight Balthazar. That took like 20 minutes. 2) Then I have to go through an entire story segment that mainly involves running from point A to B to C to... on and on. 3) THEN I have to fight this thing, when I'm just tired of this mission and wanting it to end, and have to deal with it's total cheese mechanics? Not fun!!Anet, get it together!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappa.1735 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Weird that they nerfed it. I could beat it the second time with help from a friend while I am new to the game.Only annoying thing is is that u have to beat Balthazar again which takes quite a while if u are alone.

Dethwar.1768 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I found the whole story line quite good and quite entertaining. It wasn't easy, it wasn't hard, it was just right to be enjoyable. Searching for the weapon kinda sucked but other than that, The Eater of Souls, just move from first jump then double dodge the life steal and you are golden. I liked the whole thing - it was good tho rather a bit long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dodge.The game doesn't have to cater to your little caprices. "But if you were to fail, the beast would consume your entirety" - The JudgeGame over """Dragon Slayer"""Yup,let's ask from new and returning players that might have used a level 80 boost to play the PoF story,to be able tochange their build and gear and adapt to a boss fight,while in a story instance,or gtfo.Smart.Yes, educating new players is smart. You don't learn anything if you never need to perform the mechanic correctly. This fight teaches you to interupt, something I hope you could ask people to manage on a boss fight 2/3s of the way through the second expansion.

shrieka.2640 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 No one has mentioned this yet.. but to beat him easily.. FIRST dodge his smack down,, small yellow circle.. THEN run the OPPOSITE direction from him.. that will prevent him healing from you... continue to damage him in between and you WILL beat him. This took me forever to figure out. but you can do it.. remember,, avoid being knocked over.. if you get knocked over you can not run away from him healing from you..

No running needed.This fight was nerfed, if you’re still struggling it is definitely a learn to play issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
