Differences in world boss strength

Suter1972 · October 2016

Is it just me not understanding tactics properly but are different world bosses so much harder than others?

I can be in a zone, take down a boss without much issue, yet I can go ‘backwards’ a zone and get 'one hitted' by a boss in a lower zone?

A particular issue im having is in caldwells silver. Im in greenshade but theres a couple of bosses that I can get nowhere near. The bone fella in the south and the camps in greenshade and grahtwood that have 3 tough cookies in them each. The bone fella just smacks me in the face and im looking at a resurrection screen. The 3 mob camps, I can take one of them at a time but when all 3 gang up my health disappears like a bloated stomach after a good curry the night before.

Some of these are cp100 bosses and im now past 160 so surely I should be more than able?

Some of them are really tough now. E.g. yesterday it took almost a raid, 7+ players, to kill the Gargoyle in Rivenspire when I was there (due to its stun and hard hits and statue adds - and no healer^^). Also the giant elemental(?) in Stormhaven was a tough one. It seems the bosses where a big hp-bar almost all over the screen appears, are designed for groups now, while all others do not necessarily require more players.

PS has not been yet updated, so there's still "silver" and "gold" zones there. Consoles are getting updated today or tomorrow so those bosses will become much harder. I remember doing the silver and gold on 3 different alliance characters and beating all the world bosses without much difficulty. The trick is to prioritize targets when there are 2 or 3 bosses. There are 2 such encounters there: The Reconnaissance Camp and Maormer Camp. In both cases healer should be prioritized and you should stay ranged for the most part, kiting the tank and the DD.

correct, im on PS4 so bosses are pre one tam.

The camps are crazy hard. Ive only managed it once another player joined in to distract the DD allowing me to take out the healer. Couldn't do them on my own and I tried to stay ranged. Nearly broke my controller when I nearly had them down but strayed too far out and the ran back to reset point and full health!!

The bones guy in the south, not a change yet. He even gets me from ranged and takes out 50% of my 15K health.

I easily soloed both on Magicka Sorcerer and Magicka Templar, with less than ideal bar setup - when I did the Cadwell zones I mostly rotated all skills on the bar so I could level them all to rank IV. Just start the fight with a nuke on the healer, use some CC on the tank & DD and it should be easy. Probably the self heal from power overload and puncturing sweep helped me with those bosses.
