Possible Lupicus Stealth Nerf

So there may have been a stealth nerf on Lupi but it sounds like we may have to test it for ourselves.

Some of the commentors suggest it still works as of a few hours prior to the post (17 hours ago as of this writing), so it's possible the OP of that thread is doing something wrong. It's easy to bork since proper positioning is tedious, to say the least, and partymates (like me) can quickly screw up the entire thing.

Probably wishful thinking from someone who likely reported it as a bug. ;)

This has always been a controversial method to kill Lupicus, and people get *very* worked up over it. I wouldn't be surprised if the die-hard MMO traditionalists (or maybe people who just can't do it) complained to Anet about it being an "exploit" and demanded it be "fixed." Regardless, I'll have to test this out sometime. Pisses me off a little bit that they'd change it right as I was getting the hang of it. :roll:

Did you have any luck in testing this kill method?

I think she did. It hasn't been changed. The Reddit OP is just an idiot.

(I know, I know. "Reddit" and "idiot" in the same sentence. It's redundant.)
