Guardian Raids running away 6+ times

Discussion

Just curious to see other players take on this. I ran 3 solo guardian raids yesterday and had Chromanium run away 8 times, and on 2nd attempt he fled the scene 6 times, and then Vertus ran from me 7 times on a different character.

I know flares and pheros work to reduce the time spent running around the map but when you have to use more than you can hold with a 20 minute time limit, nearly half the time is spent chasing them.

I usually run Raids in groups to save time but sometimes I enjoy seeing if I can take a guardian solo. I wouldn't mind if there was no time limit and I could spend 30 minutes chasing a guardian. Anyone else noticing this? Is this intended?

Thanks.

If it's running away that much, it just means your dps is not sufficient enough.

Get higher ilevel so you get guardians that are not as bad as that.

T1/T2 guardians are really annoying.

EDIT: You can do the T1 island quests and pretty much skip T1, T2 you can also skip most of it with the T2 island quests.

you are not doing enough dps. the most I have seen one run is three times.

I would imagine that your dps was a bit slow since you were doing it solo. The only time I recall being in a party and experiencing multiple teleports is my early Yoho days. Other than that, I think I see more than 3 teleports.

I suppose so, first 2 were on T2 WD and then the last was my ilvl480 GL, not exactly huge dps until much higher lvl. Never had that problem on my sorc or anything.

Thanks for all the feedback you and everyone else!

Wd and gunlacer are kinda weak before t3.

If you like doing them solo with them running away, do that.

Personally I wouldn't run any guardian under igrexion unless it was first complete. Such a waste of time.

I think chromedome flees after every time you stagger him.

They usually have telegraphed runs, but also like to run away when when you don't have enough DPS or have long down times in damage.

Honestly, screw doing guardians prior to the last one in t2 or after that yoho. They suck until yoho and deskaluda.

That must mean your stagger is higher than DPS, bosses tend to run away when staggered too much

No dps and no flares, phero. That's what you get for trolling.

I have never had this even with the worst PUs

Dont skip guardians, do the Guardian quest line - it give gold, after completion of each one.
