Shiro got pwnt, but how?

So while I'm working on my masters for Shiro I decide to PUB it, having failed it with hero/henchie lots of times. I join a group that has 2 rit, 1 war, 1 sin, 2 mo, 1 ele and one other not sure, all human. We get in there and it looks like it's gunna be a long fight as we very slowly chip him down. But once he goes into his meditation I throw out my celestial ele skill to help end it quicker and look to see a screen full of double digit numbers, and lots of them. Shiros health is dropping quicker I have ever seen. All the while he is still in his meditation. What would be able to do that sort of damage without him breaking from his meditation?

I've bested Shiro at least 6 times but that was just wicked...

If your Ele groupie had mesmer as his/her secondary, he/she could have triple echoed Celestial Storm.

Sorry negleted to mention I was the ele, and I didn't have mesmer 2nd...

I don't know why Shiro's meditation didn't end. It should have ended when damage dealt to him reached capacity.

As for how his health fell so fast, it's all speculation at this point. Celestial storm hits each target 4 times per second, which would explain why you were seeing rows of numbers. If you were hitting multiple targets or had it echoed, you'd just get a flood of numbers.

In the meantime, I suspect the assassin and the warrior might have had their celestial skills active as well. The assassin one summons up a bunch of melee minions. The warrior one deals 25 damage per second to each adjacent target per friendly. Each one of the minion the assassin summoned counts and they swarm Shiro like flies on poo.

Each one of these combination can bring down Shiro quickly.

Heh.... I wasn't aware that different classes got different celestial skills.... I figured that my summoning what basically looked like flesh golems was perfectly normal for everyone.... o_0;

Now I'll hafta complete Factions with all my other characters to witness their Celestial Powerz!

i hero/henchd Shiro in 13 seconds .... empathy/ss/sv and abunch of war hate pwns teh fsck out of him when he uses "battle scars" or w/e...

Wow, I was having my heros slam him with empathy/ss/sv and would always bite it when he went all impossible odds on our butts...that is awesome...

As far as i could remember, u couldnt echo the clestial skills. In fact I'm 90% sure you cant, but I may be mistaken, and well done on 20 second shiro fight

I have had similar bug once before, where Shiro would take damage while in the meditation. No idea how it triggered but it sure made things easy, since he wasn't stopping his meditation no matter how much we beat him.
