Guild Wars 2

There is an event in Cursed Shore, where you’re supposed to escort and help Explorer Plinx. It ends with fighting a Champion Risen Abomination next to Caer Shadowfain Waypoint.

I have problems with this one because whatever I do, or whatever anyone else does, he is following me every time. I just fought him again. We were probably 40-50 people fighting him. I had to run with my weapons sheathed to be quick enough to get away because he’s faster than usual players and he hits for over half my health. He stays to whack me over and over even when I’m downed which I do get a lot because there’s no way to avoid him. In this last fight, I ran as far away as I could in both directions. I was the only one ahead him, not even trying to hit him, and he was still following me even though he had everyone else behind him trying to hit him.

A second problem with this is that others can’t hit him either. Like I said, he’s faster than regular players so as he’s chasing me, the other players can’t keep up to in order to hit him. So he has to hit and defeat me before he turns around so others can fight him.

At first I thought I was imagining it, but this has happened at least a dozen times now, regardless of whether or not I’m actually hitting him. I would love some answers, either from players or from ArenaNet themselves on why this is, how to avoid it, etc. And if it’s a bug, letting AN know about it because it’s not fun anymore.

By the way, I’m a double daggering condition damage thief playing on Aurora Glade. Others have noticed that this is a problem, also.

PS I don’t quite know where to post this so I’m hoping DE-section is alright.

He just loves you that much? That sounds like one weird and unique bug lol.

Something like that. I just fought him again and this time he chose a staff necro. I’m going to fight him again soon to see who he chooses next. Even if he doesn’t choose me, he always goes for just one person out of a LOT of people, since it’s a Group Event.

Yeah this champion is one of the hardest I’ve faced so far. No matter what I do on my mesmer, I can’t shake him once he’s on me. Even if I rez at the nearby waypoint (losing over 1s each time) this boss REMEMBERS me when I rejoin the fight. I use power/toughness/vitality gear from the vigil so I don’t die easily in Orr, but this boss is definitely one I avoid.

I hope this boss gets reworked with new mechanics. At the moment, trying to kite a frenzied/unstoppable boss that never switches targets is very one-dimensional and uninteresting.
