Talk:Shaman's Rookery

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

It's possible to get past ravens quickly by shadow stepping or teleporting, though will only take you as far as you can walk without jumping, so not from platform to platform. Dodging and evasion skills, which thief depends on a lot, made it helluva difficult for me to get past the first raven shaman, and I rage quit the puzzle. :p Mediggo 11:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Maybe I was just cheating by blowing everything up as my Ele. :P Ferrias 12:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I'd also guess that it's generally not recommended for players below the area level, like I was. Mediggo 13:00, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Passing the Ravens[edit]

Don't try to run past the Sacred Ravens. After a few seconds each one will fly away and you can proceed. I was able to run past all shamans except the Leopard by waiting till ravens were clear and running/jumping then. Separ 05:50, 27 October 2012 (PDT)

The Necromancer elite skill Plague, which is a transformation, seemed to ignore the raven's knockbacks when I used it.Thorn17 08:25, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Plague grants stability and so it's rather good elite for these kind of jumping sequences. Plenty other professions also get long stability from elites. Mediggo 12:56, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Split[edit]

Agree with it if anyone was waiting for input there's mine.

Keep it as it is, why two pages where one short one does fine. --Claret (talk) 16:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Changes?[edit]

Not certain but a) It appears you can no longer make that jump from before the raven shaman to the bear platform. Unless I was doing it wrong or something, it didn't work in several tries. b) I did bypass a lot of the fighting, and could not get the leopard shamans to activate. Someone else came along and did it, and I assisted then and I got the chest. Possibly they've made it a requirement to beat the shamans? Posting here rather than to the article so it can be verified.

I do this puzzle fairly often, and I don't fight anything except the leopard shamans. Dunno about that jump you mention, though, I never knew about it. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 03:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

An Engineer with a rifle can skip the first raven shaman to the wolf platform, then from the wolf platform to just shy of the leopard platform.

Rename on the map to Shaman's Rookery[edit]

Looking on my world map, this location is now Shaman's Rookery with an apostrophy, moving it. If someone could update the image.. Seylan (talk) 15:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Had Gimp already open, done. User Incarnazeus Signature.pngtalk 15:26, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Split[edit]

I disagree with the split proposal. Unlike other jumping puzzles, the whole area IS the jumping puzzle, there is no possible confusion. From a player's point of view, the puzzle and the area are the same thing. Warming Hearth (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I agree with Warming Hearth's reason. Additionally, it's not a requirement for a jumping puzzle and area of the same name to be split. - Doodleplex 21:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Wolves and Bears AoE[edit]

I just did it and yes the Wolves and Bears no longer seem to do those AoEs. Just the Shaman will attack. Just beware of the Ravens (stability will help a great deal) and this jumping puzzle is easy. --KatieBoom (talk) 14:14, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
