Do Npc Take Bonus Confusion Dmg Gw2 Game

With any condition build, bleed stacking and application is your first priority. #2: Confusion is king in PVP, and nearly useless in PVE. In PVP your enemies are firing off attacks left and right as fast as they can, so confusion damage can really stack up. The issue with having the same behavior in GW2 is that any skill, including an autoattack, triggers confusion. Backfire only worked on skills classified as spells - it was never 'do nothing, or take tons of damage,' but 'only autoattack or use non-spell skills, or take tons of damage'.

Damage in Guild Wars results from actions taken by attackers that subtract a portion of a target's health. This definition includes many attacks or skills (including spells) but does not include health degeneration, life stealing, sacrifice, or direct health loss caused by skills such as Infuse Health, Flesh of My Flesh, or Illusion of Weakness.

When an attacker attempts to damage a target, the following is factored in:

The damage type, such as fire or blunt. The amount of damage done may vary due to the target's armor rating and resistances to that specific damage type.
The attacker's ability to inflict the damage.
The target's ability to resist this damage.
Bonuses on both sides. An attacker may have bonuses that augment the damage and the target may have bonuses that reduce the damage.

The term damage source refers to each minus number that pops up when you take damage.

Walkthrough[edit]

Condi cleanse is not required for this fight but a fast, mobile healer is generally advised, especially for PUG groups as, particularly inexperienced, players are likely to go down all around the arena due to the need to split at various times during the fight.

Provided players have stacked up on Essence of Valor before the fight, players do not need personal breakbar damage. Periodically, the boss will summon a blizzard and a breakbar will appear, which ends the blizzard and stuns the boss when broken. It's highly beneficial to break this bar, however it can be broken easily using the essence manipulation special skill that appears at this time.

Phases[edit]

100%

At the beginning of the fight and periodically throughout, the boss will launch the squad into the air. The boss will then ground-target an attack on the spots from where everyone was launched. All squad members should engage their gliders to land in a new place and entirely avoid the damage.

Also periodically, the boss will target all players for bombardment from the air by icicles. Each player will be marked by a red circle. The icicle attack is a modest AOE that, on it's own, the player can dodge or simply eat, however if players are hit by overlapping AOE from several in the squad it can cause significant damage. As players are normally stacked just outside the boss's hitbox when this attack happens, it is important players separate, normally to the edge of the arena, to avoid overlapping their circles.

From time to time, green circles will appear with yellow arrows above. These will get smaller until they disappear. At least 4 players should try to be in a circle when it disappears or all members of squad will take damage. Each player in the circle, up to 4, reduces the damage by 25%.

75% - Doppleganger Reflection #1

Below 75% the boss begins using a new 'chains' attack. Randomly 3 players will be selected. A small timer will appear over their head and the purplish outline of a chain will connect them to the boss. Roughly 2-3 seconds later the chains will materialize. These chains will cause severe damage to any players passing through them. It is extremely important that any players with the chains only move backwards and forwards and not side to side, as they can inadvertently pass through squadmates and kill them. Likewise, melee needs to be extremely aware of this mechanic. All 3 chains are attached to the boss and if melee is inside the boss's character model, the melee can receive damage from all 3 chains. This will likely both down and defeat the player within a second. If someone with a chain sees a downed player lying in his chain, in contrast to the normal rule, he should try to move slightly left or right to avoid damaging the downed player but only if he can do so safely without hitting other players.

Note: The boss will also continue performing its 'launch' attack while people are chained. The chained players need to be careful to glide to safety while not moving far from left to right.

The chains are very obviously telegraphed and not difficult to avoid provided everyone is paying attention (especially those that get the chains).

25% - Doppleganger Reflection #2

Below 25%, the boss begins using a couple new attacks in addition to the previous attacks.

The first is an arc attack that covers roughly 50% of the platform. This doesn't do too much damage and you can consider eating it if you're low on energy for dodges.

The second new attack is a barrage of slow-rolling 'orbs' that start from the boss and roll to the edge of the arena. The start of this attack is indicated by large red arrows with yellow borders radiating out from the boss in roughly a 120 degree arc. These orbs do significant AOE damage if they impact a player. If players stay near the boss and are hit by several of these exploding orbs, detonated by themselves or other players,they can be seriously damaged, even instantly downed. So, as with the icicles, it is advisable players move to the edge of the area when the red arrows appear, where the orbs are easily avoided, before returning to just outside the boss's hitbox after they are gone.
