Guild Wars 2

In the Brisban Wildlands, there’s the “Protect the Wyld Hunt party from the unseen hunter” event. The range of the dialogue is ridiculously large. Even when there’s nothing indicating that there’s a “new event nearby” I still get to hear all of the dialogue. Over and over and over.

The event happens apparently every fifteen minutes or so. Doing hearts in the area, I’ve seen the event go off three times so far.

The party starts out at a size of six, but three are picked off from the water, where the Unseen Hunter is totally immune to any damage (and these are one-shot kills, so zero chance of saving the party members).

The Unseen Hunter is utterly immune to any conditions. Awesome! Thanks, that’ll be easy. My ranger can use… well. Shortbow is pretty much out, as its primary damage is conditions. My other set is axe/warhorn. So auto attack and birds and pet damage. Darn.

Seriously? You think people will be able to complete this?

I realize that it’s a champion, but I couldn’t do enough damage to it to kill it before it killed all three of the Wyld Hunt. Hmm. Nope, not a group event. So really, what is expected here? Unless it’s just “here’s an event that you’ll always fail.”

I also know that some classes will have less of an issue with the condition immunity. But some will have zero chance at completing this, because conditions are a large part of the game everywhere else.

projectile reflects would seem to be the way to go.

Just defeated the Unseen Hunter. He dop a Shell Pouch with a exotic Bonetti’s Rapier for me.

For some reason he was very easy to kill on land. Just me and one other solo player. I’m not sure why the champion died so quickly.

This mob definitely isn’t a “Champion” despite its actual label. It isn’t even a Group Event to kill it iirc, I’ve soloed it a number of times on leveling characters with minimal difficulty, but it looks like it still retains the Champion status which warrants an exotic bag.

Yeah, that particular event isn’t a Group Event (likely because you have the three Wardens there to help you out). He does count as a Champion kill, however, and depending on your build, he’s actually quite soloable. (I’ve solo’ed him on my Mesmer, Ranger, Ele, Warrior and Necromancer.) The Champion malfunctioning golem not too far away is a lot tougher, in my opinion.

Despite his champion rank when you target him, the Unseen Hunter’s defense is utter garbage, meaning a character that doesn’t rely on condition damage can still hurt him quite a bit. (I’ve seen my characters hitting around 1000 damage per hit on him sometimes.)

A good way to protect the remaining three Wyld Hunt is to watch for the Unseen Hunter approaching from the east when he proclaims “No escape”. If you engage him quick enough, you can keep him from the Wyld Hunt members and prevent the chance of him killing them.

Of course, you must be wary, since he hits pretty hard and has a twirling shadowstep, but has no range attacks, so ranged kiting works here. The only really annoying thing is his utter immunity to conditions. He’s the only boss I’ve seen that has this, but it once again just makes conditions seem kind of pointless.
