[Area] Guild Wars 2 | Aetherblade Hideout CM | 5m07s | Alac Chrono PoV (Well Well Well Well)

Lonely Raiders In Your [Area] is happy to present our latest strike record, Aetherblade Hideout in just 5:07.

The largest roadblock was trying to prevent Scarlet from triggering mechanics. There seemed to be no consensus as to why she would sometimes spawn projectiles/blues and sometimes not, this left us with a lot of theories to test. Eventually we managed to find the trigger for preventing the mechanics, and subsequently abused it to lower kill times drastically.

To talk briefly about why each class was chosen:
Soulbeast - The best burst DPS that you can get. One Wolf Pack is available for every single burst phase, meaning that the damage output that soulbeast can do while providing large amounts of CC was simply unmatched. We had 2 soulbeasts run Leader of the Pack, and the rest used Oppressive Superiority. This was to prevent OWP queuing which would cause damage outside of "Sic 'Em!".

Herald - The best boon provider. Provides every boon you could need while also doing very respectable damage.

Specter - Provides solid Alacrity and hard carries the CCs. Pistol with paralyzation sigil and Basilisk Venom made this spec irreplaceable for the run.

Chronomancer - We learned that it was possible to bring a Chronomancer over a specter as the alacrity provider with some added CC from the heralds. This change managed to increase the group DPS by a good amount as chrono has much more burst than specter.

I'd like to give a special thank you to Stina and Nelli for helping us troubleshoot the mechanic issue.
