whats with the deal on griffions

When im trying to attempt a griffion run i execute skills but most of the times i die when im near 400-500 hp.

For instance:
Im excutuing skills and all of a sudden the DP pops up and my hp bar just jumps from 500 to 0, i even have healing hands on me and all the enchants from the regular build.

Im just wondering has this happened to anyone else or is it just me.

check out if there isn't any rockshot devourer near you
they interrupt your skills

I do, and its always clear of rockshots. I'm just pretty aggrivated on 10 failed runs becuase of this incident.

Hm.

-do you see damage numbers pop up above your head?
-what is your skillset?
-does this happen at the same location every time?
-do you have lag problems in other areas?

then have you had any lag lately ?
I've been killed several times because of that

Yeah, it might be the lag. I'll try again later

Your stance might have run out. No stance + griffins' final thrusts = quick death.

Yeah, often the moment you go below 1/2 health final thrust will kill you when you. Healing hands heals you about 17hp per hit (or at least with my attribute distribution) but final thrust will hit for well over 60 if you are under half health and with 10 griffons on you, you will die almost instantly.

LEAVE THE POOR GIFFIONS ALONE, OR AT LEAST ALONE WITH US PROS lol!

Healing hands only save you from normal hits. You need stances to deal with final thrusts.

Griffons should only be tackled by good monks

Who's that guy from the other day? I really loved his video!

Do you have a stance or weapon/mod, whatever, that boosts your health up at a certain moment? You may die if this criteria is removed and you haven't recovered your health, therefore dropping it back below zero.

Like health +25 while in a stance maybe....takes a hit...stance ends...health goes POP! lol.

i destroy griffon mobs with a n/m smiter build i made. works like a charm. your prob sounds like lag.

when u are less than 50% health 20 things using final thrust on you will kill you

sometimes they all use final thrust at once... thus giving you 8-12 critical hits at the same time - no healing hands will help you there... thats why i am using shield of judgement

[now working, and fast too]

i am pretty slow on killing the griffons there... >_<

Or maybe you're artificially raising your hp using endure/defy pain or some other spell that gives + to hp. Once it ends, it subtracts whatever it originally gave you, from your current hp. That might explain the sudden drop.

Just make a monk, they're the best for farming.

The other thing is how i use bonnetti's and it doesn't block "75%" more like "50%" but maybe its just me, i've gotten them down with my timing on the lag, i guess im getting use to the lag spikes here and there.

edit: oh and uzul i can't view your video

Mark of Protection > all

they should have just put in a mesmer type monster there just like they did with the arcanist in snake dance...
btw, hunting griffons in desert is kinda lame and too easy...
try do the same in snake dance..
