The Funniest Thing Ever...

Shiro is cake, take an Spoil Victor(make sure blood is at 12) necro with curses and br. Take an SF ele, and your tank should have wild blow and use it on Battle Scars. I personally don't even take a tank build just quivering blade with plague touch and damage.

Here's what we did and it worked very well. First, you need a ranger with poison arrow and a long bow. After you've killed everything but Shiro, run out of the temple or what ever it's called and let him reset to the center. Have the ranger stand just out of aggro range (and he can with a long bow) and just keep hitting him with poison arrow and what ever damage skills the ranger has. Just make sure he stays poisoned. Because he's not aggro'd, he just stands there and takes it. It make a bit of time, but it's way easier then anything else.

I tanked him with my Dervish just fine. I just kept up all of my survival enchants and made sure I hit him with Wild Blow as soon as Battle Scars went up. You gotta knock him out of that stance ASAP, and if you do you should be fine.

You don't need to use wild blow, its far easier to have him just attack the warrior then cycle through bonnets and glads defence. 75% block rate all the time which means 1 healer can easily cope with the small amount of damage shiro will cause you.

Armed tanks with guns... now you can beat any missions blind-folded!

Well, so much for not wanting help.

Anyhow, i found it easiest on my warrior than any other character. Take a.. actually, i'd better not, you did ask for us not to help.

Nice post Zonzai.

Honestly the most annoying thing about shiro is that you cant knock him down in nightfall (at least for me).
Before nightfall, I would take my hammer to imperial sanctum to gank shiro just for fun. Counter blow, dev hammer, etc... was hilarious.

Also I would consider Unwaking water to be the worst mission for melee classes. At least you can hit shiro unlike kuunavang.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Boy am I glad that I somehow bugged shiro into a spot where he wouldn't attack as I pounded him in. Nothing to worry about, masters, gg.

1) I'm 90% certain that Impossible Odds transfers conditions regardless of whether he hits or not, meaning that blind will prevent his first attack, get transferred, then he'll be able to attack at will while your melee guys are useless.
2) Even if it only transfers the conditions on hit, blind is only 90% miss chance. He's hitting everything in the area, twice, every second or so. There's a very good chance of him passing off the blind even in this circumstance.

I like how the OP asked that no one post how to beat him or offer help - yay for reading and comprehending much?

So instead maybe they should have just heckled him for not being able to beat Shiro?

qft but as overkill...

spoil victor + spiteful spirit > shiro

...now that was "the funniest thing ever", I've seen pre-searing skales last longer than him!

You mush be quite bad at playing elementalist. my ele is better at everything than my warrior. tanking, damaging, soloing, moving really fast....

but on a different note, one very funny thing in GW is how like 3 B/P rangers understand why you cant rez a 1 hp bip with rebirth. the rest of them just cast it like 14 times then go "WTF" and ragequit. its pretty funny

Wild Blow isn't needed for Shrio at all, it only drags on the battle to constantly have to end Battle Scars.

Spoil Victor + Spiteful Spirit + Empathy + Reckless Haste

I don't see how nullifying Shiro's primary source of healing drags on the battle.

What's really funny is that unpopular classes, like the mesmer, have an easier time in certain missions than any other class....yet they aren't popular classes.
It's really funny. I wonder why the game would be developed like this.

I'm sorry about the sarcasm. I couldn't figure out what was funny about an elementalist having an easier time in a particular mission than a warrior. I assumed that it was the devs intention to make certain professions and skills more useful than others in certain parts of the game.

Bring a Curses/Prot Necro. Keep Shiro under Enfeeble while you get all the blessings. Kill everything but Shiro.

Then unleash said Necro on Shiro.

Spoil Victor
Insideous Parasite
Enfeeble
Faintheartedness/SoF
Reckless Haste
Prot Spirit
Spirit Bond


gg Shiro

EDIT: I said Weakness, I meant Enfeeble, which causes Weakness.

If your going that route you might as well bring insidious parasite (steal 39 health).
