    It figure ArenaNet would make a sloth so op. Every time I encounter something that should be harmless or is super cute, it ends up being super dangerous: iboga, choya, pocket raptors. Kralky was a piece of cake when compared to those guys. And have you seen an enraged quaggan? Wtf.

    Currently studying this fight so I can join a raid and finally get wing 2 done for Envoy 1. Was watching this at work while rolling silverware, and the sheer unadulterated fury in Mukluk's voice when saying that guardians are broken made me jump and drop the silverware.

    Yeah well, every time we go into wing 2 I get mucking murdered by a lethargic cave rat with halitosis and it usually ends with someone yelling about how horrible our slub control is and that they (the player) will kill us. So Sloth wins my nomination for hardest boss.

    Thanks for another great “To the Point” video for Raids. I’m glad that it looks like I’m not the only player that has trouble with this Raid boss. I think this boss warrants changes to your squad compositions to specific skills that will make the strategy easier to execute than most other Raids. With better timing so we don’t pull the eating slub and then strong pulling to get the adds between eating slubs, this boss should be a lot easier to kill. It’s just hard to coordinate it perfectly for inexperienced players.

    Wait, this is the first boss? That means there's more? I only did one raid training once, and it was this raid. It was almost 5 hours training and we couldn't kill him, I just assumed that it was the whole raid. I was traumatized with having people yelling in my ear for 5 hours of frustration and never tried raids again.

      I highly encourage you to try raids again, but dont begin with this one :D
      Thats probably one of the worst bosses to start raiding with. :D
      Personally i would recommend starting with wing 4. The first three bosses there (Cairn, Mursaat Overseer and Samarog) are, at least in my opinion, pretty easy.
      If you look into the lfg tool, there are occassionally training raids. I would recommend joining one of those, or try finding a guild which does raid and preferably does raid trainings. There are a lot of guilds out there who do raid training. (i did start raiding by joining one of such guilds who do raid training. But as it is a german speaking guild, its probably not suitable for you)
      Or you could even join one of mukluks training raids if you are interested. :)

      @@hansguckindieluft5161 I was assigned the last mushroom, so for the first two hours it never even got to my part. So when it did get there I felt everybody was getting exhausted and without patience for me failing. But the person with the first mushroom trained that a thousand times, I did it 5 of 6 times the whole training as we always died before that, so obviously I was going to fail until I get the hang of it. That guild is still doing training, I just never joined as I didn't felt very comfortable there. Maybe I should just try again in a different wing, or do some strike missions as they say is a good way to get into raids. I know Muk does trainings but I only ever saw him do that in US servers, don't know if he sometimes does it in EU servers too.

      ​@@tombocai occassionally muk does training on eu, too. If i recall correctly, it is something like once a month or so. And Strike missions are really really easy. Just go look for a group which wants to do "shiver, fraenir and kodans" (these are the first three strike missions: shiverpeak pass, fraenir of jormag and voice of the fallen and claw of the fallen). When you do these three, do them as a dps first, and then the only thing you have to do is damage. Shiver is really only damage, you dont even need a healer. Fraenir, just stand in the middle and do damage and let the one healer heal you. Voice of the Fallen and Claw of the Fallen (or Kodans for short) just follow the commander and do damage. The only thing you have to look out for when doing kodans is that those two have to die around the same time, or the surviving one will kill you. But when you follow the commander, normally they know what to do and so you dont really have to look out for that either. :)

    @dylanwarwick4429 3 года назад +6

    BIG note: Every group ever does mid strat which means the eaters need to eat towards the centre THEN towards their next marker... this is no more than 5 mushrooms (usually 4 though). The logic behind this is the pulling in and dealing with adds and also moving the boss less so you can dps harder.
    Other BIG note: Because you swap to enemy team when a slubling, if you are a support, you will graciously start to buff slothasor... that means warrior banners and time warp for slothasor, which is a big no no.

    This is long. Be warned. Sorry!
    Hey Mukluk. Usually, I don't like video guides for content. I'm on a hands on learner. Stuff goes in one ear, out the other. But your raid guides have been handy. And they have laid the foundations of what I know about Wings 1, 2 and 4. Your video guides gave me the confidence to try these raids.
    I can comfortably solo heal (druid) Sloth, oil keg bandits, and even reflect on Mathias.
    I can claim on Mursaat, and I love being the pusher for Rigom on Samarog. I can even backup tank Deimos if our tank dies.
    I can tank Vale, push the orbs, tank Gore, solo slow the two back walkers, and, recently, I learned how to flak-tank and bait the sapper bombs on Sabetha.
    All of this is stuff I've learned on my own, but your videos laid the foundation for what I know about any of it, and they are what allowed me to, as I've said, gain the confidence to try new roles. So, thank you.
    I've stumbled here because today, I joined a W2 training group I found under the training LFG. As far as I could tell, it was completely pug. Wasn't a guild leader bringing guildies, it wasn't a static learning - just some guy threw up a tag, and people filed in. I came in early, third person I think (?), and we filled up.
    We were stuck on Slothasor for maybe 2 hours? Cycled players in and out. Most of the group was inexperienced or new to the raid. A few people were new to raiding in general. I was one of the only experienced people besides the tag.
    Eventually, tag had to leave. Because I had leant my hand before, they passed tag to me as they left.
    I was not ready.
    I was not prepared.
    I still do not believe I was at all worth giving the tag to.
    And yet, I managed to explain this encounter so adequately that we, a completely pugged squad, 2 pulled it after having to replace the commander and an additional 4 people.
    Amidst this group were a few fresh faces to Sloth, a few TOTALLY new raiders, somebody who'd paid their way to completing legendary collections, myself and a couple experienced raiders. Those experienced people had all stayed the entire time alongside me. It was nice having the patience of others.
    It brought me a lot of joy to see this group through the ENTIRE raid. We failed a lot. Once on Sloth (under my tag, dozen+ times before I was given tag), more times than I wanna admit on Trio, and just once on Mathias. But even though it took hours, plural, I got to play my favorite raid, I got to see some fresh faces to the end of their first raid, and I got to give some guy the chance to learn. The absolute highlight of the raid was the fact that the guy who openly admitted he paid his way to collection completion (which I personally don't see an issue with) expressed he was coming back to raids, specifically a training group, to learn. To do the content himself. We later learned he just didn't have the time to learn to raid, but wanted the collections done. So he bought them. But he didn't buy LI, in fact, he expressed a desire to earn his LI, and even offered to try to do specific mechanics and to do whatever he needed. It was really sweet to see.
    I referred them all to your videos, and did a little explaining of my own. I'm not sure whether your bitesized clips helped more than my hands on explanations and demonstrations, but I just wanted to share that, since I think it was a very sweet experience. I also think that a level of that pug groups success is owed to you. Sloth is a pug killer. But, we managed it and we managed it quite well, all things considered.

    Aswell the more mushroom is eaten, the more adds will spawn, so the player who is assigned to eat shroom should eat 3-4 max otherwise you will get overrun by adds.
    And if boss is shaking, he will unleash 3(or more) projectiles per player into air and then they will fall where each person is standing, their blast radius is small, so simple walking forward for 2 sec can save you from getting hit (Be aware that the explosions from other players can hit you aswell).

For the raid he was in he was actually the 2nd boss not the first, but a lot of guilds really struggled on him. It was really easy for a few people, or even 1 person if placed wrong, to wipe the entire 40 main raid group. Since he'd give a debuff that would give unlimited resources and whatnot for a bit as well as allowing the player to attack really fast. After which the player would explode, which would kill them and anyone too close to them. IDK for sure, but he was probably one of the first fights that had a lot of personal responsibility. In a game that was still fairly new. A lot of guilds ended up disbanding due to him. Which is how the boss became known as Vaelastrasz the Guild Breaker.

      But there are quite a few boss mechanics where a single misstep can ruin your try, Deimos for example. But tries are comparably short and buffs aren't as expensive/time consuming so people are usually willing to try a bit more.
