defeating Mallyx

Ok guys, This is a problem that ANET needs to seriously take into consideration for a good fixing.

1. After killing the 17 groups to even get to Mallyx is a challenge, but after spending over 45 minutes to get to the boss is a tad time consuming.

2. Once you do kill the groups and make it to aggro the boss, not only does the boss pull everyone once hes aggroed, but he does it using an adrenaline skill! How is this possible when you have to hit something to gain adrenaline??

3. Once you are all pulled, and try to run, he pulls you again within 5 seconds! How is this possible when that skill that uses adrenaline recharges after 20 seconds??

4. How is it fair that an NPC gets favoritism for a skill by having automatic adrenaline and recharge, when in fact it takes 8 counts of adrenaline and a 20 second recharge time for that skill to even recharge in the first place??

5. How in the heck can he even use that skill when it says he doesnt even use it until hes gets down to 33% health. I mean come on! He's at full health when everyone gets pulled by him using that "adrenaline skill"???

Now I have went over any possibilites of why this happens and ended up with only one solution. ANET glitched that boss horribly and someone caught on to it! I totally understand that you had to fix the wall teleporting but ffs ANET, why did you have to glitch the boss too to make him absolutely impossible to beat. I find it unfair and unjust to nerf the boss too. This is an official petition to fix what you broke so we can have something to look forward to after the endless hours of doing the 4 missions to get to that place in the first place.

So to everyone that want ANET to fix what they screwed up, please reply in support of this.. I thank you all so much for your time to respond and I hope what follows this petition is a pleasant outcome..

Have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening, and I hope this mistake by ANET is corrected..

Oh and btw Guru, if this post is in the wrong thread area can you please move it so I am in the right place for this? This is an important thread and needs to be read by the mass Guild Wars Lovers.. Thank You Ever so much

Only have one word to say about this... Amen...

I must say i agree 100% it needs fixed quickly. i mean u spend 45 minutes in there to die in 2 miutes at boss by a skill that should not be spamable.but u do these quest to get to mallyx for 1 of each gem and a Green but now u do not get nothing but a waste of time. Heck u do not even get Lightbringer points for doing it to try and get it figured out IF IT IS POSSIBLE.so if u do not get a drop it an hour of complete waste of time which should not be.

Tried Visions of Regret? I smell insta-kill..

1)You dont have to hit something to gain adrenaline(see rage of ntouka elite - plus mallyx can be enchanted before aggroed)
2)Mallyx owns you, instead of changing his skills change the party formation.(instead of 3 monks take 2 and a X class)

P.S:Most of you know that the gemstone prices are stupidly hight(lol the cheaper ones are almost at ecto price) not to mention the solo/duo farming builds there(ele/x and monk/ranger famine builds) noone complains about them but generally people complain when they dont have profit... Egoistic isnt it?

I cannot talk about mallyxbecause I never can find a dam party in the europe server ..............

First of all, I agree with you that the grind of killing the four Lords of Anguish should be enough to get to Mallyx. That there really should be no need for fighting all those mobs in some mission impossible to keep a stupid priest alive. It's overkill and retarded. That's always been my view from day 1.

Your perceptions of the skill, however, are incorrect.

The skill is adrenaline based, it takes 8 adrenaline, which is not a whole lot. Mallyx has a tendency to double strike if you did not notice (you'll notice damage from a skill listed twice even though he only hit you once). He does not only used it at 33%. I put in that note back when we were fighting him from behind the door, and that was usually when he build enough adrenaline from Air damage to use it. When we've used Blood necros, he's never used it (life stealing is not damage), and when he's had someone to hit, he used it much sooner.

seriousl Karlos i understand how his skill may be possible to use but look at wiki on his skills. 8 adrinaline 2 sec cast 20sec recharge. he never hits u when he first pulls u in , but now u would have 20 seconds to kill him or think of something , WRONG he reuses it every 2-3 sec and u can not cast , run , nothing. in the 4 times i have done this NOONE has ever even had time to attck him but w/ 1 Meator shower right before he dies. I mean u start w/ 8 adrinaline right from start is bogus,he KD's u when he pull u to him,and u can not have enchantments so hit u for 500+. and the whole time u can not do nothing but watch.

Amazing how posts go off topic...

Anyway, Trophy Hunter the only Irony is you come with a point that bothers none of us, or the ones I know, we're not worried with profit, damn if I know what to do with the Gold/Gems/ecto/armbraces I have, the point is having fun, is overcome a challenge, and the fact is seems almost impossible to beat Mallyx, I wasn't in Pleasures group, we were in a diferent group, but it is a small comunitty and we talked to each others, we're still trying to figure out what build will be good to do it.
The probelem is, the ratio he casts his skills, it is in fact impossible to stand against Mallyx, we beat Gods, but we cannot beat Mallyx, he does not need any energy (so it seems) or Adrenaline to cast, we on the other hand, are energy constricted, and reduced by the 4 area effects, we can bring a Mesmer and shut him down, but has soon those minions he invokes, there will be no way to keep him shutdown.

And Trophy Hunter again u show your lack of knowledge in the subject, since you haven't got to him (proved by your own words), the thing is he will Summon Shadow the minute he is aggroed, has for enchanting him...hmm well I guess we could Bond him and heal him to death!!! Will try this one of this slow days.

Point is we need to know if Anet can test this and see if it is a glitch on the monster skills, or if it was intended, both ways need to be discussed, and hopefully you will give us 10% of the attention you give to PvP

jeez I thought they would have fixed the mallyx bug by now, I thought that these changes are only for this weekend...unless their changing it back today, sounds like a bunch of the PvP things(not skills) are permanent.

Apart from the glitches mentioned (having full adrenaline to start with and recharge times inconsistent with the skill description) there is another glitch. Shadow stepping does not let you reach a place that you can't walk to, like closed doors and summoning shadows (Mallyx's teleportation skill) specifically states that all foes of mallyx "shadow step" to him. So ANET should decide, either change the skill description to "teleport" or change the functionality so that he can't bring foes from the other side of the door to him (like was the case before the glitch).

There is actually an other thread here on guru discussing the way to shut down mallyx here . However I do agree with one bit and that is that just getting to the point where you have to worry about him is a challenge on it's own. Last time we tried it agro was just ignoring the tank and swarming round to us from both sides :S

1.) It is possible to kill him.
2.) It's elite for a reason.
