Guild Wars 2

So, I like to solo champions when I am not busy. Just for the hell of it, however, I am finding the Champion Svanir Marauder in Wayferer’s Foothills to be impossible to solo.

Not because I can not kill him, but because the game absolutely refuses to let me solo him. I will get him down to 50%…………..60% sometimes I’ll only get him down roughly 90% before he decides to go invulnerable on me and then reset on me. I’ve tried not moving, I’ve tried moving in a circle around around him, but nothing works.

The only time I am able to kill him is when someone shows up. No, not for additional damage, but for the extra body when he goes invulnerable on me and switches targets. At that point I have to pray the person survives long enough for the game to allow me to damage the champion again.

I can only assume this is a bug, unless I am to believe it is intentional that one can not solo him?

Is the the enemy at the end of the Assault on Svanir’s Dome quest? I’ve never tried to solo that guy, although I have solo’ed the Svanir Packmaster and almost managed to solo the Svanir Shaman before more players showed up.

Yeah, it’s the end boss of the Svanir Dome event.

It’s only this guy I have had this problem with so far, I can only assume it’s some horrid bug caused by poor pathing or whatever you want to call it.

Yes, he has pathing problems and will regen because of it. You can’t really solo that boss. He’s even difficult to do with 2 players because of that.

As a staff necro I can make him follow me around the pillar while laying down marks for an hour, but the moment someone else jumps in to ‘help’ me it all goes haywire after that player inexplicably gets killed, it loses interest in me, and regens.
