Guild Wars 2

I dont know about anyone else, but the last few times I have run the lighthouse escort the people just keep running, its all we can do to keep up, we cant even clear out the enemies fast enough for them not to die. At least with the childrens escort they stay put and let you clear out the enemies before moving on.

I tried to find the lighthouse escort today, it wasn’t up. I made it to the ogres and moas, and they died in seconds even with a large hunk of players attacking the enemies. I didn’t even get the daily in because I couldn’t find a final rally point defense to do, all three wp’s were clear of enemies as I hopped between them ><

Hopefully this weekend there will be more people and more focus on the achieves as right now this meta is looking a tad chancy.

Yeah, the lighthouse is so far the only one I need and they are guaranteed to die at the end of the first bridge because humans are so squishy. No amount of healing/speed will save them as they just run through the mobs before we can tag them. Not to mention it’s burning and not just regular damage types so they’ll die anyway.

You need some players to be “bait” that run ahead of the NPCs. Guardians/Warriors are best for this thanks to their innate toughness. Whenever you see a new group of enemies spawn in, run right into the middle of them to grab their aggro, then run off to one side so that any missile attacks/AoE’s don’t get dropped in the NPC’s path. This should allow the NPCs to run by unmolested while you’ve got their attention.

The bulk of the “killsquad” follows behind the NPCs, but you don’t really need to kill all the enemies. You just need to kill a few to make sure you get credit, and then stay close so you can help the NPCs as needed.

Of course, support characters like Water Eles/Rangers with Healing Spring should be shadowing the NPCs at all times and using heals/buffs on them whenever available.

With any escort where the NPC’s bolt for safety all you need to do is draw attention to yourself and keep them off them. Having heals and swiftness will help as well.

Also for the necros out there Reaper’s Mark and Spectral Wall are great for knocking pursuers off of the rush escorts.

I got it done by popping Plague with blind and chill on the enemies around the NPCs nearly all the way to the fort. Copious buffs from Guardians on the way.

We tried this with about 4 of us thinking it was scale, WRONG first bridge WHAM comes the Vet train, all dead, so we returned with 40 of us, WHAM Vet train all dead again, these guys are super squishy, and completing that event it really down to luck, on whether or not the Vet train will pwn them before they buff themselves to the heavens, thankfully you don’t need all the event to complete the meta.

Try shadow refuge’ing the npcs, mass invis, veil, stealth combos.

So, what’s wrong when I escort them through, everyone keeping them alive on the move, and there’s no credit because no one managed to kill anything on the fly?
