Deadeye Kite - Kela CM Week 1 Kill
updated
Chrono PoV youtube.com/watch?v=qRACszB2C3w
Damage is very high with rifle and Bloodstone relic.
Also provides: burst, cc, push, 25 might, swiftness, boonstrip, superspeed, some stability.
PoV is far from perfect, but good enough if you want to pickup a new quick

berserk/dragon mix doesn't matter a lot. I didn't bother changing my template.
Aim-Assisted Rocket and Explosive Temper are very close. ET is marginally better and AAR can reveal.
Rifle is better because of rifle2 hitting double from some angles

similar to last bench youtu.be/Ecpi24Ebwuo
Now with single mine precast to be more realistic. Also lining up filler skills better.
some golem tryhards can probably line up the ending for 37k

kitless holosmith is much easier and damage is better because you are more flexible with your rotation

First kill with new strat, still working on it.
Don't look at my heal chrono rotation and build, this was my first time playing it.

While watching SC/Fungus race we saw some shadows getting to boss with high health but boss didn't get stacks. We tried to reproduce it and it turns out slowed add will take longer to cast their skill that gives 5 stacks. It dies before cast goes off.
This only works after 30sec resistance finished.
Other thing we saw in WF groups was use of focus pulls. Most "cc immune" adds in gw2 only get immunity 1sec after spawn. We've put the dots together and checked if the shadows cast can be interrupted in that window and it indeed works. Getting timing right is tricky but can be learned with practice.
Going forward a way to deal with malice without mesmer portals would be very healthy for groups progging it moving forward. Maybe a middle ground with shorter resistance or no cc immunity (this could be very fun bouncing adds around).

Scrapper is pretty good for doing greens. For aiming mortar shots behind me I mapped "Snap Ground Target" (!not the Toggle...) to a mouse 4 button. We used stealth gyro for invisibility, because if 5 target limit I had to run out of it's range after a tick for scourge to also get some stealth.

No meme it's a very comfy kiter to do. Super ez to execute. I am messing up everything and it still works out.
I did a kill before on heal bladesworn but it was messy so I am only uploading it now.

Apparently HT CM doesn't have much forced damage so you can just avoid most of it and ditch the healers.

Protip: keybind "Snap Ground Target" for easy mortar kit spam while doing mechanics.
key comp picks:
Vindicator for Jalis 5 damage reduction
Firebrands for great support in tomes (1 power, 1 condi, just because difference is small)
Power Mechanist for kiting while still doing decent damage and boons
Shoutout to Duse, Pentalux, Fractal Spoon, Kartky, Nao and Excell for also participating in the progress.

It was my first time on druid, we did 6 pulls and got this kill.
Druid is pretty fine but still much less versatile and forgiving than Mechanist. Need to manage astral force properly to have CA available when needed and also don't get locked in axe/warhorn when needing staff for mobility. Also no invuln for last phase so gotta get good and dodge waves properly.

Don't bully for my trash rotation I only played virtuoso because no one else did q.q
Others played well so I guess the kill time was decent in the end.
Also not having a portal surprisingly wasn't a really big dps loss.
For anyone thinking it's a good idea to try this in their prog group: don't. It is much harder to pull of and most people in the squad had killed the boss 5+ times before.
Shutout to all the gamers for consistent gaming and big thanks to Minas for organizing the whole thing.

Today was our first HT CM reclear with 3 new people who haven't killed it before.
Kill was super messy, with extra spread at end of Jormag and bad mob stacking on Kralk and Zhaitan, extra fear at end of Zhaitan. We still managed to beat our first time by 31sec.
At the time of posting it's the fastest kill we know of with second best being 27s slower at 12:40. Still a lot to optimize in this fight in comp and strat. We played mostly save to get the weekly kill still.
Also if your group is doing HT CM, just steal our strat for Soo Won phase 2. HAM can do reds+greens and free up 2 dps to blast the boss. It's just safer faster easier and better imho.

Explosive temper is about 600 dps lower.
Aim Assisted rockets are better if you are out of range ~30% of the time.
