i'll always find it funny that arenanet released the boneskinner strike mission with intended mechanic being to desperately keep the torches lit as the beast and its minions attempts to smother the flames, but the community took one look at it and just went 'lmao no' and collectively decided to cheese it with healscourge and pretend the torches didn't exist at all.
weekly na strikes
This is just a bit more of a formal post about weekly NA strikes for personal reference, but feel free to reblog if you want to!
I will be running weekly strikes every Saturday at 7:30 EST until about 8:30 EST. We will be aiming to get dailies for both days unless they are Boneskinner or Whisper! You do not have to stay the whole time, but I will be listing it in LFG if we are not full at start time / if anyone drops out during the hour!
Anyone is welcome to join, no experience required! You can bring whatever class you feel comfortable on, I will try to work around it and get a decent comp together! The only thing I ask is that you listen to my instructions, try to stack on tag, and be nice! If you need help gearing a character or working on a build, my dms are always open and I’m happy to help!
To join: Be online and in the Eye of The North prior to 7:30 EST. If I do not see you and send you an invite, just whisper me (vulnerate.4628) and ask for an invite!
For now we will just be focusing on these three strikes as they are the easiest and do not require certain comps, so they’re great entry level bosses! Feel free to read these wiki pages on what to expect if you’d like!
Shiverpeaks: Easiest strike! Just bring any class, stack on tag, and dps. You can jump over the shockwaves the construct produces, dodge or step out of the aoe that covers half of the arena, and stack heals when the arena wide aoe appears. Voice and Claw (Kodans): A bit more difficult, having good DPS is very helpful here. Projectile reflects and projectile destruction skills are extremely helpful to bring to avoid the damage / immobilize from the Claw’s attacks.
Fraenir of Jormag: Has very similar attacks to Shiverpeaks, just harder hitting. You can dodge / jump over / block the shockwaves, dodge out of the red aoes that appear underneath during the last phases, and cleave your friends out of the ice that encases them. Pulls / ranged dmg is good for the elementals is helpful to help negate some damage from them. Having someone give stability or aegis is also incredibly helpful, so FB excels here!
Lol. Ask me to link my armor in a fucking strike mission, I’m outta there. There’s 9 people in the world specifically rolling their eyes at me right now but I’m rolling mine back. You don’t need 50 meta raid builds to beat the voice and claw. Jeez.
so I was looking at the strike missions when something caught my eye
it was like being dragged back into the first Mass Effect
I can hear it in his voice
A few weeks ago everyone was complaining abut strike sellers clogging up LFG and now I can’t find a seller to save my life.
I just want to buy this stupid strike okay it’s not fun trying and failing it repeatedly and I just want to get it over with so I can stop wasting exp that could be going to masteries I can’t unlock asdfg
Just tried one of the new strikes and no way, I do not have enough patience for that shit. Maybe the others are easier (somehow I doubt it), but this is the only one I actually need, because turtle. I consider myself a casual player and I can do most of the original strikes pretty easily with even a halfway decent group, so I figured it would be the same for this set. Guess I’ll wait around for a chance to buy the strike instead #noshame #nogold
In other news
...I am thoroughly annoyed at how slow it is to get prophet shards. Each strike mission gets me 1-3 (yeah Forging Steel gives more but it takes so damn long ugh). I don’t know what the hell they think I’m doing these for. And I don’t know why we can’t convert crystals (back) into shards, cause then I’d definitely have enough for what I need (i.e., that elusive completion star on Steel and Fire).
The cold war strike is not a fucking raid, enough with this elitist bullshit
EDIT: Like an hour after I originally posted this I found this squad. I am not alone
