I managed to kill them myself! XD Is there a trick to enemy selection during battle? I take a lot of damage while fumbling around trying to select my next target - it gets me killed A LOT.
I just use the tab key, if you are facing an enemy it will select the closest target most directly in front of you and if you keep tabbing it will move your targeting to enemies further away and to the sides. You can also use the trusty simple left click on each target, but I find it to be a little clunky especially if you are dodging around in the heat of battle. So I use tab and target my closest enemy and go after them, and if I want to hit one further away quick with an AOE or a stun/cripple to slow them, Ill left click them, hit them with a cripple to buy me time, then left click back to the closest target or just face them and tab target them.
I'm pretty sure everyone who has been playing has already figured out how the Twisted Marionette world event works, but if not, here's a nice little video explaining the event thoroughly. I know I picked up a few tidbits from it. Especially take notes in the part about the warden order and strategies for platforms. View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_HLoiLZpc
This guy made another similar video on the Great Jungle Worm boss, which if you have tried it, it seems impossible. View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOYXSjg638w
