Now With More Shattering!

imageNow With More Shattering!

The Shatterer has taken his lumps through the years, and not just from Tyria's greatest heroes pounding away at his front right foot. Ever since the Tequatl revamp, players have wanted a better, more interesting experience for something that's supposed to be one of the most dangerous monsters in all of Tyria. For many of us, the Shatterer holds a special place as the first major boss encounters we saw in Guild Wars 2, and it's high time he seemed dangerous again.

    Teq is now down to a system. Get there one hour, one half hour early, certain victory. Get there ten mins. early and you usually go into overflow but have about a 80% change of victory. Get there on the hour and your defeat is likely unless an entire guild goes into overflow which is rare because they usually get there an hour early. I usually don't do CoJ because it's so long. Teqs length is great for me. Looking forward to the new Shat.

    It happens with every new change. When the 'revamped' Tequatl was new, it was a fail more often then not. Just need to learn the new mechanics is all.

    Did the Shatterer this morning, at the first spawn after the patch. Wow, so much fun. Chaotic as hell, laggy (may want to turn off player names), and I still got crap loot... but it was definitely a lot more fun. It's also longer, so it may be difficult to time it where it ends before the 15-on-the-hour bosses spawn elsewhere.

    I did shatter last night right after patch and yeah they did make some changes but his mechanics really did not change much. They added a lot of mobs and drop AOE all over the place. I tried the gliding attack but the FPS was so low it was worthless because of all the lag, and I have a i7 4790K with a GTX980OC. And as always my loot was all greens and blues so yeah not sure if I will be waiting a hour of more for this one!!!

    It was with pleasure I discovered I could use gliding in Splintered Coast, hopefully now in more of Tyria.

    I came to read the generic "I hate GW2" comments that don't pertain to the Actual article at all.

    But there aren't any... What gives?!

    I played Shatter yesterday, a ton of players all over the place going for accomplishments and saying they'll have to bring more CC alts next time. I had lots of fun. :-)

    One less world boss for me to bother with. Put simply, I will not go anywhere near any thing that is so op that it can down you with one hit. imho, it is pointless! The garbage around shat, has this over power bs, so I am never going near it again!
