I am looking for people who would like to kill Glint for the Dragon's Lair bonus mission. Preferably people who are past the end of game and have thier best armor/gear. I've tried this battle a lot, but always end up the only one alive after a minute or two of fighting her.
So. My in game name is Doki Waku. I am a Ranger/Monk with good gear & lots of interupts. In my opionion, DoTs and interupts are the real key to winning this fight. I'd like anyone that can make it to bring all the interupts they can along.
I would like to give this a try any time Saturday. I can be on any time after 10am EST (-5 GMT) for certain.
Post here with your class & in game name if you would like to join up!
Looking for people to KILL GLINT, June 18th.

I'll try to join in. I can bring a warrior or a ranger. What kind of spells/attacks does glint use?
Bu7ch
I'll do my best to be on. In-game is Butch Daddy and I'm a R/E. I beat Glint in a group of 4 the first time through primarily with distraction shot and poison while the others did the equivalent. This time through I'll have poison, melandru's arrows and also choking gas to go with concussion shot and distracting shot. So far it's worked well against most enemies except those without flesh.
dargon
I'm game too. If someone else is bringing Melandru's Arrows, I may just adjust to a flameslinger and bring ignite arrows, along with interrupts of course

GLint is a peice of cake if you bring a Mesmer who can deplete her of energy.

One of my alts is a Mesmer and would you beleive it...I explained to the groups forming how important Mesmers are against a casting mob boss and yet...after 2 hours of looking for a group and not getting one invite, I signed off.
*shrugs*
People would rather take my Warrior primary when there are 3 other warriors already in the group against a caster boss rather than my Mesmer. Sometimes you really have to pinch yourself to understand how clueless most people who play the game are.

Yay for lots of interest.
Glint uses a couple Glint only spells. One causes all elemental damage to to HEAL her for that amount instead of damaging her. The other one pretty much locks down the MP of anyone in the AOE for too damn long.
It could just be me, but it feels like Glint was somewhat nerfed in the most recent patch. Anyhow, I will look everyone up Friday night or Saturday morning. I'll be at work until then :/
See you all soon!

Glint has a few nasty spells, one causes exhaustion in any class when you use skills this is usually the first one she will fire off the effect stacks so it can quickly take out spell casters if they aren't paying attention, the other called Crystal Hibernation has a long cast time but pretty much puts her at high regen and spell damage will heal her so an interrupter is definitely needed when she casts this. The other attacks are a melee claw swipe and a heat seeking fireball attack, just make sure the tanks keep her focused the fireballs hurt a fair bit.

I would be interested to finish this bonus. I am a mesmar and would bring skills to suck her dry of energy and backfire which I love...(when casting a spell caster takes 101 damage)
Sekkendou
Interupts and wonderful DoTs seem to be the way to go! I'm thinking it's better to just have the warriors do what they can to kite her & keep people spread out as much as possible. Usually warriors try to kite her and drop after about 10 seconds. I can interupt her pretty consitantly on my own, so having a mez along geared towards energy drain & additional interupts would help. Warriors could focus on bleeding damage, & I could bring in poison arrows & maybe land a cripple trap or 16 second throw dirt blind (though it never seems to last that long)
Really though just having a full team of people tweaked out should suffice.
I'm keeping track of everyone here & will try contacting everyone Saturday afternoon. See you soon!

Her last spell is a hex called Crystal Bonds, which is a run debuff, single disenchant, and prevents new enchantments from being cast on the target.
Grenth's Balance is more interesting than I thought it would be. Even if you're fully healed, it still damages up to your maximum health anyway.

Grenth's Balance is more interesting than I thought it would be. Even if you're fully healed, it still damages up to your maximum health anyway. Does not! It sucks up the difference between your CURRENT health and the enemy's. Wait.... a thought is coming...
If that dragon has 1000 hp and I have 480... (1000-480)/2 = 520/2 = 260 damage, or am I mad? Now that I read the skill description on the skill listings page of this site, I see that it can indeed be read to mean that, although I've never tried using it when my health was completely full on an enemy that has more hp than me. I always wait until i am almost dead then use it on the most healthy fighter, but never was I able to get more than 100 health from it. Maybe it's cuz fighters have ~500hp. So (500-100)/2 = 200. Yeah...
Anyhow, I'm going to try using Grenth's Balance on some other creature with tons of hp, and see if it indeed works. If it does - it's by far the most inexpensive and powerful damage-dealing skill, possible the BEST skill for a necromancer to have.
PS: I'm pretty sure the description on the skill listing page is wrong, since it actually costs 10 energy points, not 15, and I'm pretty sure the recharge time is 30 seconds, not 60.

I captured Greneth's Balance just before going to face Glint for the first time. Indeed, it cut the health down 50% on first cast... my Mesmer interrupt skills combined with echo'd Chaos Storm (300 damage over 10 seconds) took care of the rest. It wasn't until later that I read it was supposed to be a tough fight, lol.
Reiden Argrock
hehe, ya, grenth's balance makes it a not so difficult fight, anyway,
w/e 20 and all that, if i'm on i'll see if you havn't already done it, if so i'd love to help out, I love that mission

I used Grenth's Balance with full health and it took offf 406 hp from glint. Only about she had about half heal at the time. We had 7 people, and managed to kill her on our first try, but we did get lucky and had 3 monks + 2 secondary monks. Fight took a long time though for us. As I think I ended up using that spell like 8 times before she died. Our poor warrior just held the egg and ran in circles the whole match lol.

Glint isn't that difficult. Just tried it today with a monk friend of mine, my me/e and 6 henchmen. I only got Lina and not Alesia thinking I'd better get a damaging henchman and I mostly had fire magic. Bringing her health down to lower than half was easy but then she started casting her regenaration spell. All my fire magic were useless then. She couldn't kill us either however.
I'm sure with 3 or 4 interrupts and some energy depletion she'll be easy. As for backfire, I don't think it will do much good. She doesn't cast spells too often and 119 damage isn't that much for such a creature anyway.

W/Mo, beaten the game and have my 15k dragon armor w/ some sick weapons that do 40-100dmg per skill VS high armor.
IGN: Da Cebuano
will be on at around 5pm 2day 6/18 I want to kill her for pwning me twice. I had a good group go w/ me who unfortunately didn't understand the part where YOU DONT ATTACK GLINT W/ ANY MAGIC DURING HYBERNATION, we could've easily owned her had one warrior didn't drop, also, use ice weapons only when no hybernation, during hybernation, switch to other non ele weapons. Anyway, PM me, I want in on this, or another group if 1st group is full.
Then afterwards we can all go farm underworld

can someone tell me the point of beating her? ive just recently ascended and the first group i joined randomly got to glint and we beat her first try. Is it just for 1k exp?
drowningfish999
Glint is the bonus for that mission, and also I think is the hardest enemy in the game.
GranDeWun
When you beat her, you get +5 to health. Thats worth more than anything else!
SnyperP
Be kind to your warriors! Use a protection to keep your warrior alive. Just have him stand there holding the egg (she always attacks the person holding the egg) and just keep casting protection on him/her. Have everyone else do their thing and have the warrior call her spells so people can stop attacking at the approriate times.
The Red Knight
haha kobel killed glint with henches :x
Cnegurozka
@SnyperP
You can drop the egg, once the bonus has started, so you can take full advantage of shields etc..

Sometimes you really have to pinch yourself to understand how clueless most people who play the game are. I started playing a Mesmer myself because there were so few. People don't "see" the effects of amesmer so they don't understand it. A Mesmer's job is to weaken the enemy. Warrior's don't have to work as hard.
In Hell's Precipece Mission I was playing my monk. We had to monk and people started dying. Guess what? The Monks got the blame.
I kept saying, "We need Mesmers!"
"?"
"?"
"?, You just need to heal more!"
"We can't out heal their buffs. The buff are what's killing us. you need mesmers to remove buffs and cause damage while doing it."
"Mesmers weaken the enemy."
They still didn't get it. That whole mission I was spamming Mend Condition. The mission took 4 hours to complete. It would have been dont in 2 had we had a Mesmer.
Best advice for a Mesmer is to make up your own groups. Team up with all least one Ranger to pull and target enemies.

I understand that you can drop the egg, but as long as you're holding the egg Glint will solely attack you. Using protection on the person holding the egg also negates the loss from not using a shield since you can only lose 10% of your health at a time.
psycore
I completely forgot to mention Glint's stance she uses vs melee users. It's a DPS reflect damage type stance that will shred melee, so be careful there when she uses it. The name eludes me something bout crystal skin or what not.
Jia Xu
an interrupt mesmer screws her up well and truly, just make sure you never let her cast crystal regen, and get someone with Grenths. i ran up to her with my necro, took loads of damage from that rough crystal skin and then Grenth'd - did 654 damage, which was nice
Omega_2005
I think the skill is Crystal Skin Formation that takes off 100 damage per hit (melee), in which makes her very tough without knock-down or interrupt skills
