NEW RAID Mount Balrior FULL CLEAR!

[@atcho5029]

Extremely misleading thumbnail, I thought you finally got a haircut

[@bastiaanzeeman3922]

Haha!!!

[@GOTHICforLIFE1]

Literally only opened the video to see it

[@traveling.down.the.road56]

Best comment I’ve seen in months!

[@joshuaherring9674]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Khronos06]

Lol

[@chester1882]

I did actually try progging this with a pick up group last night. We didn't even kill Greer but the process of learning and figuring out the fight was super fulfilling and even though we didnt get 1 kill of a boss, i think everyone went away feeling alright with the attempts that we made.

[@joshuaherring9674]

That scourge yellow circle get me EVERYTIME! 😅

[@ratchet227]

Imagine on Silent Surf with Flux Bomb XD

[@michram]

Thanks for the video :) I was hoping for "Oath to the Ancients" being the battle theme of Ura (especially because the chanters literally sing "Ura" repeatedly in this music piece), but... I really like the "steamy" vibe to the track we got, because it fits Ura: she is unleashing her toxic gases as the ground shakes because of her powerful attacks - the percussion, the epic chants and some elements of nordic instruments combined really make the whole piece brilliant. It's a very well thought out composition, because Bryan Atkinson ALWAYS tries to tell a piece of story in his composition (just like Maclaine Diemer). There is always much deeper meaning in GW2' music pieces, and that is what makes the OSTs great. I love Greer's theme - the singing is like the land crying out for help as Greer spreads his rot, destroying the wildlife. Decima's theme is like this epic classical music piece reminding me of Jeremy Soule's "Raven Speaks" or "Here be Dragons", but with modern twists.

[@rgentry9]

Absolutely, I was really impressed by the music here.

[@Lalmatia]

At the start of the video someone mentions the fastload thing. If you've got raidcore (nexus) you can enable it after patches, and it tends to work most of the time. The last 3 game updates I didn't have to wait for the .dll to be updated since I just re-enabled it again (and yes I'm counting this w8 being added as an update) .

[@LucashhLima]

You made Greer look easy lol

[@DCaot]

greer is easy, decima sucks :D

[@Luaren]

I LEARNT A LOT FROM THIS THANKS YOU

[@Luaren]

THIS IS VERY COOL THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

[@joshuaherring9674]

Dodge management is gonna be a real thing in this fight

[@1808joe]

HP is soooo boosted for these guys man

[@StationOfbarny]

Ura legendary mode will be a filler enemy compared to the power of SLUG SNEB

[@omegasrevenge]

based

[@SuperDarkroman]

As much as I liked the launch of Janthir Wilds...I really dislke wing 8. I haven't played this wing yet, but I have no plans to do so with this fully recycled story instance... I'm just not motivated to play something that I've seen before... I really liked wing 1 to 7 and cleared them often (far away from weekly FC-runs). They have a uniqe design and story (even most bosses are uniqe) which I have expected from wing 8 as well.

[@evres0224]

Good stuff my dude!! New sub with a random question, I am building a Reaper and was going for gs and dual sword dps. What do you recommend? I only have one alt character that story progressed into SOTO and got the weapon mastery, but none of my other alts can use other weapon types. I'm assuming I have to progress a character through that quest in SOTO? Really enjoy your vids bro as a new GW2 player perspective they are very informational to me 👾

[@_Spooner]

Go check out Sylvari

[@roarilan]

If you got the weapon mastery from soto, it applies to your account. So all characters will have access.

[@mat4537]

Not every class can wield every weapon even with weapon mastery, some are class specific (necros can wield hammers for example)

[@evres0224]

@mat4537 forsure yeah I figured that out just was curious if you have to play alternative characters thorugh the story until SOTO to unlock it for alts?

[@evres0224]

@@roarilan so i just gotta find thta npc in Wizards Tower? I unlocked it on my first character an ele and the game says I cant use normal swords on my reaper yet until I do the soto mastery or somethin about getting it in wvw? Ill go find that npc and report back

[@hjvdb6829]

What build do you use?

[@icata12345]

Is the third boss better on power?

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

Power vs condi hasn't been a relevant debate for a while.

[@waddehaddedudedah]

wait 21 attempts? so its not so easy jet

[@iRoXsOxAlOt]

They nerfed the HP of the first two bosses I think last night. But honestly, they were very doable. I think Anet just wants them to be more approachable for lower skill players.

[@pierrengu]

@@iRoXsOxAlOtnormal mode can be easier since we getting CM and LCM

[@whitesmoke_live]

Finally, we have an expansion now !

[@dfg12382]

what happened to heal scourge dooming 2 patches ago, how is it still meta

[@Feanturo]

Its still OP, just not massively OP anymore.

[@dalebrimhall1071]

It doesn't pulled downed players any more but got stability and swiftness added. If you're in a group where you don't expect anyone to go down then it was a buff, but if you're in a training group it got demolished. Also teapot has just always loved scourge.

[@iriyabran]

all i heard is CC

[@nd6886]

And here are the 10 people happy with this update.

[@W.R.311]

3 recycled bosses. stacking strikes does not make a raid. sad. rather get the core dev team in and build more dungeons

[@geekwars3998]

I wish GW2 raids had a bit more flair to them. I don't doubt that this is probably fun to play through with friends. But it makes for very poor spectacle from the perspective of someone who's just watching the encounters unfold. The visuals are so bland and boring. Boss models look uninspired and non-memorable (seriously, they look like any random trash mob in the open world). Music sounds like generic over-dramatic background noise rather than being in tune with the encounter... This makes me believe that the issue with raids in GW2 is not that the community is too small as ANet tends to claim, but rather that raid design is too unrefined to appeal to a broader audience within the game community. Honestly, if raids were more impressive to watch from a bystander's perspective, the raiding community would naturally grow, not just from GW2's current player base, but also by attracting raiders from other games as well.

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

Except some of the older raids put a lot of emphasis on visuals and that didn't help one bit.

[@truongnguyenang1622]

The thing about raid in guild wars 2 is that it too hardcore compare to the rest of the game. While I used to run around the world and do event quest, I find it very difficult for me to get into raid with dps check and all the shit, it just terrible

[@YouTubeChillZone]

Skill issue

[@SNIPPETYDEATH]

The DPS check is very minimal these days with power creep. Low intensity builds exist with minimal input that can break 30k DPS easily along with auto attack builds getting around 25k. Raid training guild exist too that frequently welcome raid newcomers. If you try one of those you'll come to see the DPS check is nowhere near what it once was in the early days

[@icata12345]

It's for people who want to put up the effort and get rewarded, And btw some classes and specs have dummy DPS for how easy they are, with a little searching and practicing you can get yourself good builds you can play and hop into raids.

[@OsvaldoSosaVargas-n6k]

Bro, you are just lazy

[@ogrejd]

Sad. It's one thing to keep the failures out for the sake of a reasonably-sized video, but quite another to keep the very first try at a boss, successful or not, out of the video. :( edit - And watching this has made me finally realize what's been bothering me about the supposed Titans in Janthir Wilds... They're not real Titans! They have four legs instead of three!

[@YouTubeChillZone]

They don't even have the power of the original titan.

[@bn.liberte2370]

Looks what new raid have bad design. In not make for community as ibs5+ds

[@Dungaipara]

so they have to fight the same boss 3 times? they all look exactly the same + dodge a bunch of circles blah blah zzzzzz vale guardian still the king of all boss designs.

[@randomthings5383]

Lame ass designs , even wing 7 that i hated is way better then this

[@erjikkzon]

Why these bosses rotating like in wow. Zero weight animation...Ugliest animation ever

[@MightyTeapot]

It's worth noting that every boss in GW2 rotates this way lol

[@Derploop]

PvPC raid, how the fuck do they expect a normal human to beat this when there are fifty thousand particle effects and tight timing windows while all that stuff is server side for no discernable reason. Not like we're all sitting on a 9800x3d, great gpu and 30 ping.

[@ToukaGontier]

Isn't as bad as it looks, I play on a low end pc (integrated graphics, 8gb ram) and get my usual 30fps, while playing with 300ping there. It's alot less taxing since it's only a 10 player instance. I'd imagine the convergence would suck to run though 😅

[@megakruk7254]

This is lame. Compared to W4 or W5 this is just recycled garbage. I refuse to call this thing a raid.

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

Ah yes, Cairn, MO and Samarog, who could forget these masterpieces of game design. Get fucking real.

[@rp4newbs284]

This will go down as the worst patch for 95% of players.

[@dezm1]

?

[@LucashhLima]

Why?

[@GetThePizza]

There's a convergence mode that makes it accessible to everyone though

[@blahboy600]

How quickly we forget the tunnel... 🐢

[@traveling.down.the.road56]

Another YT idiot comment trying to make generalizations for 95% of a community, when they probably represent 5%.

[@radosawserafin2943]

As fas as i know they are using same models from open world? Bosses already look the same. Low effort like w7

[@artinyxxiveluswyzzol9918]

And what do you expect from the budget they have?

[@radosawserafin2943]

Nothing at this point. Thats why i Quit the game

[@FortunaeMaxima]

this is not a RAID these are STRIKES at best

[@artinyxxiveluswyzzol9918]

Do you even know, what is the difference between raid and strike?

[@icata12345]

Feels pretty raidy to me
