Get To The Point: A Sabetha Guide for Guild Wars 2

[@ericahess7508]

This fight has so many explosions that even the explosions have explosions. As well as having backup explosions to the explosions. I also really liked the joke about Holosmiths.

[@joaoxkira]

ty for this comment. Now I undestand the green lantern joke

[@xezzee]

@@joaoxkira and thank you, I was confuced by the comment "what holosmith?"

[@Seezonn]

That was A LOT of information in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And you still had time for memes and sassy insults. :)

[@masterofensive]

the firewall animation was SO COOL, video quality is spiraling out of control.

[@OryxTheDragon]

"Firewall will instakill you" being in flaming letters is pretty lit. The animation is smooth tho. Amazing piece of work.

[@TFalconwing]

Sabetha is probably my favorite (non CM) Raid boss in the game. Everything about this fight feels perfect to me. 1. You have to work as a team 2. There are specialized roles 3. The boss has phases that introduce mini bosses with their own mechanics 4. The environment design is awesome (It's a treehouse called the Skillet!) 5. I'm a shameless Michael Bay fan and fire and explosions and guns make me hot. Because they burn me to death. Because fire is hot.

[@Northena]

Sidenote for anyone confused: why you send jumpers up in the first place is that the "mobs" that spawn is actually the cannons that destroy the platform, that's why it's so important to not fail and send them up when they've spawned ^^ Love these videos Muk!

[@rayhoodoo847]

Ohhh that was the missing piece in my understanding of this boss. Thanks.

[@ohwhatworld5851]

I just want to say THANK YOU for creating these much needed SHORT and succinct guides.

[@mandodelorian4668]

I don't raid and I still really enjoy these. Green Lantern Approved!

[@999GoldenGirl]

Another video that makes it impossible for me to have an excuse to fail. Thanks Muk, now I have no one to blame but myself. Btw, amazing editing, Noxxi on point ;)

[@fernaxv]

You can always blame your teammates.. havent you been paying attention?

[@999GoldenGirl]

@@fernaxv But he has provided a video with everything I need to know and do. I can’t claim ignorance, only personal failure. Good news: I can now tell when my teammates mess up.

[@GuiltyTroll]

Whats not to like? Mukluk good. Content, good. Editing, Gooooood.

[@novusnocturnm]

Made me spit take my coffee with that TacO comment. Its me.. I’m the glasses kid..

[@loonela]

Literally killed sabetha last night for the first time, 100% accurate. Don't forget to make the commander the flak kiter and gravitate over to them with timed bombs to really make it an accident of "I thought you were a marker!"

[@MuklukYoutube]

BOOOO flute does that to me all the time

[@GaruruMoon]

additional note for thiefs: during firewalls do NOT press dagger 3, dont be that person ;-)

[@xezzee]

and thief-'s dagger 3 does what? Ranger sword 2-2 is spin attack, is it spin attack? ^_^

[@GaruruMoon]

@@xezzee its the one where the thief jumps 3 times in different directions over the enemys head and you cant stop or control where you land once started

The beauty of a home office is being able to audibly yell "YEEESSS!" when a new Get To The Point video is uploaded. Bless your soul on this first workday of the week, muk

[@Hydrakk]

Wait a second... Explosions everywhere... Main boss is a girl with a flamethrower and she has backup goons... Did Michael Bay make this boss?

[@MaxiimTribe]

I have no idea what’s going on here, green lantern agrees

[@adamodell3841]

Really nice editing! Also liked the jokes... but the editing!

[@just_kamil_]

Bonus fact: You get the green circle (launching bomb) from Bandit Sappers. They spawn on opposite side than cannon and they target usually the closest player (thats why flak kiter gets the first one usually). You can get pretty consistent with getting them but since Sappers are RNG its still better to count on getting it randomly if you are doing it with squad that just run all around the platform :D

[@duprelatourgregoire2757]

bonus bonus fact: the sappers like to launch the bomb at the westernmost person on the platform, a decent kite with this info can stay west and get 90% of the grenades ( the kite still need to be in range of the sappers) ex: (this not my vid just an example ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHO8mnmXbJx7b6c

[@just_kamil_]

@@duprelatourgregoire2757 Thank you for the correction, now the bonus fact is complete :D If you are reading this Muk, is this info important enough to pin it up in comments? It might help people understand the fight more

[@Akronox]

@@just_kamil_ Extra bonus facts: there are also heavy bombs in this encounter and if people don't press F on them the platform will get destroyed pretty quickly, you cannot kite while in stealth so if you're on druid make sure not to have the stealth trait, Sabetha comes back to the platform exactly when the adds reach 25% of their health and depending on the squad DPS she can start with a flamewall aimed north east (independent of squad stacking) which makes the 3rd cannon a bit tricky, an easy way to avoid the flamewall rather than running around is to go left of its spawn location (while facing the boss) and come back to your original position as it will despawn after a full rotation, the cannons spawns at xx:00 and xx:30 but you want to be on the jump pad only 5 seconds later as that's when the bomb spawns, being too early on the jump pad can kill you as adds can kick you out of the platform or you can get flak on it, if you don't have the raid mastery getting launched with the green bomb will damage you, below 50% HP there are 2 timed bombs instead of one, when a cannon is up it will damage the platform but also the players so you should not stack on that quarter of the platform and finally the last add (Karde) takes extra damage from condition but that's usually irrelevant.

[@Big_asura]

2:39 amazing graphics work!

[@delrosarioj25]

To really make your teams deaths look like an accident use scourge as a flak kiter XD you literally hold their life in your hands especially when fire wall is up.

[@xezzee]

what do you mean? Can you out tank the dmg with barrier or was there a joke? :(

[@soulsfood5691]

Im awake im awake! Sorryyy... we what now?

[@thehasen6037]

MORE PLEASE

[@dylanwarwick4429]

Small note: Heavy bombs only happen when Sabetha's lackeys are on the platform, and below 50% health there are 2 of the big red aoes that stick to players.

[@LegeFles]

this makes me want to but the efford on Guild Wars 2 to Raid, which I have been offputing since 2012, first lvl 80 was After path of fire. Well done on this video. I have bad habit of playing all games and not finishing anything and I am not good with people . . . and GW2 has bewn bit daunting whrn it comes to do anything as there is so much to do

[@MuklukYoutube]

Fair enough! Raids were the very last type of content I approached in GW2, and they aren't for everyone. I try to make these entertaining enough that even those that might not raid can still have a laugh.

[@xezzee]

​@@MuklukKZbin biggest problem for me is that I am not in any guild. I play so rarely and not constant at all that any guild I was in I have been kicked out from :D unless my Engineer is still in guild and even then it seems so scary to ask from another person if I could raid with them "I will just get in their way, they don't want me, I don't want to bother people... What if I have to commit too much......" and so on ^_^

[@krakkentrace6095]

@@xezzee from what I know on Snowcrow there are some discord servers specifically made for people that want to start raiding. Give it a shot, I heard they are really friendly and competent :) Mukluck makes some training raids too in his guild if I'm correct

[@mayaharvey2094]

This guide was more helpful than my raid instructor (sorry tank)

[@Angies2Wheels]

What is the damage stats addon you are using at the top right of your screen?

[@MuklukYoutube]

"arcdps" I have a guide on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWK4oHyZiayWgqs

[@anneatkins1809]

I will say; make your people stack well, and let the flak kiter throw the bombs. It’s much easier. Basically flak kiter should stay WEST (circle is how we mark it), because whatever reason - the sappers hate west and will throw the bombs on the most west person, providing the stack is good - and the rest stack hard mid excepting red bomb. This way, your flak kiter can catch and throw all bombs - leaving the dps to do their jobs.

[@johnny44speedy]

When is wing 2 coming? Does anyone know the schedule or order of these?

[@HeroineDark]

I'm proud to be that glasses kid and cheater taco! Anything that helps the boss die.

[@WhitieWu]

I joined a raid group, totally nice bunch of people. They suggested I watch this video before we took part. I got 1 min into this video, went back into the game, told them there was no way I'd feel comfortable enough to do this raid with people I barely know. I know I'm going to screw up, die, do something wrong, and waste everyone's time. I hate this stupid Raid bullsh*t. The ONLY reason I want to do this is to unlock the damn mastery. Guess that will never happen.

[@MuklukYoutube]

You could request to not be one of the jumpers, if you aren't a jumper all you do is stay near the middle, hit boss and avoid red circles and fire walls. I usually don't hask brand new people to do jumping myself.

[@WhitieWu]

@@MuklukKZbin Fair enough. Appreciate the advice/help

[@lucaeinsle21]

We europeans know, what clockwise and counter clockwise means. That's in addition to our much, much more sensible metric system.

[@MuklukYoutube]

It's an inside joke from the stream. The last time I did raid training on EU servers when I yelled "run clockwise" half the raid went left, and half went right, we all died.

[@lucaeinsle21]

Ah, i didn’t know that, though i knew, that it was meant in jest. Good job on the video by the way.

[@umbriel84]

never seen those 4 markers used for the cannons :D my brain would probably get scrambled

[@rhyzemz6931]

who exactly gets the bombs? cool tutorial tho :)

[@MuklukYoutube]

I usually just teach everyone the mechanic so that anyone can do it no matter who they are. THAT SAID if you want to force ONE PERSON to always get the bomb, have that person always be farther to the west than everyone else. Here is a copy paste from the wiki with details: "There's a lot of theorycrafting about sapper bombs mechanic but the closest one seems to indicate that sapper bombs are assigned by an invisible mechanic to anyone at southwest 5 seconds before the actual sapper appears; so if you stand at 8:30 at West (2-3meters away from Sabetha) while everyone else is stacking at south, the sapper bomb will be assigned to you at 8:25 so long as you don't leave the cast ran"

[@rhyzemz6931]

@@MuklukKZbin thank youuuuuu :)

[@honzabrzec955]

Why the specification for Europeans? We know how clock works... :D

[@MuklukYoutube]

Once upon a time I was doing raid training on EU, I yelled "everyone run clockwise!", 4 people went left, 5 people went right. We all died. It's become a running joke since then.
