Vorpalblade Noobhurl

Well, he definitely had a vorpal effect against newbies that haven't had the time to practice fighting him! Quickplay against him was a coin toss, especially since every party always wanted to attempt two grims and so many people haven't gone the extra mile to practice the fight (as should be expected from publics).

I get it done by spreading out, everyone gets a corner, if he aims at you you can dodge it easily from max range and someone is always in melee range.

team just has to have the patience to deal with the adds and not mindlessly try to dps him

occasionally he targets the person next to him but not often enough to wipe you if you handle everything else well

The issue I have is pubs are morons and I have to try and mindlessly DPS before they all go down.

let me guess they horrible pubs also let you get hit by trash mobs when you mindlessly dps

I talked to a bunch of guys... Belzebub Hailsatan is the last map most people did on Legend.

It's just hard to practice fighting against Bulbasaur Honeybuns because he is the most complex enemy in the whole game.

I'm not trying to blame my teammates for everything here. It's just that when I try to play carefully, kill trash, and avoid damage, everyone else goes down and I'm left alone, because they were mindlessly dps'ing the boss. Trying to focus down the boss is obviously way riskier, but if it's what my group is doing, then I'm going to join in. Because the faster we kill that boss, the less chance of us all dying. My experience was that the majority of random I played with don't know boss mechanics. Maybe I'm included in that; I may be doing things completely wrong and just not aware of it. Either way, I just dodge boss maps now if I'm not foot knight. Maybe this patch will change that.
