Guild Wars 2

I guess Arah event chain was broken with the latest patch and event difficulty scaling.

We cannot complete the very first event to escort NPCs to Anchorage. Squad morale drops to 0% every time we reach the place with poison cloud no matter how many people we bring.

Was anyone able to complete this chain after patch?

It’s the new AOE from the Risen Noble Shadowstep skill. It creates a template that ticks for 900-1000 damage every second and completely destroys the NPCs that you are supposed to escort.
It was a bit ill thought out considering how many Risen Nobles are in this part of the chain.

Yeah it’s bugged at the moment. Those mobs are impossible to deal with unless you have a zerg that kills them asap.
