Firstly the mission Sabotage. I had real trouble completing the final Defend the Dredge Researcher objective, as a Norn Warrior.

The waves spawned far too soon after each other for any out of combat healing to take place. Once the Icebrood Kodan spawned I died repeatably on that wave and the wave straight after due to them inflicting burning that if left alone seemed to take around half of health. I had both the healing ability that removes conditions and Shake it Off, but as there are three or four of them I couldn’t remove the condition fast enough. So I died on that wave, came back got set on fire again but killed them and got killed by the next wave.

The rest of the waves I had trouble with but in the end using a rifle and kiting them up the ramp and jumping off I was able to defeat them, even though I had died four times in total. I don’t know how you would complete the fight without exploiting the fact the AI is stupid.

Then I went onto Assault the Hill. Ignoring the fact it’s odd that I learn of an imminent attack on the Priory and rather then going there to defend it I head back to Hoelbrak make a decision and then trudge over to the Priory.

This fight is extremely hard as well. Eir and the other NPCs don’t seem to do anything useful. I only managed it as an Engineer friend came along otherwise I would died multiple times. I had to run back across the bridge using the barricades to lose line of sight and wait for m heal to come off cooldown to stay alive several times. Going into melee combat is extremely punishing, and with so many enemies, and NPCs there is so much going on it’s hard to work out what is going on in such a small area.

Sabotage was so frustrating! I’m also a Norn warrior. My main weapon is usually 2H hammer, my off-spec is either a rifle or axe/mace combo.


I got downleveled to 26, then they send wave after wave of level 26 mobs at you, four at a time. The NPC companion that accompanies you helps, but once you die, she can’t stay alive by herself. I rezzed at a checkpoint and went in using axe / shield, but that only made me survive a little while longer — I was able to take out ONE of the mobs by focusing fire on him, then rez at the checkpoint again — do the same thing, killed another while in a downed state that made me pop up again: burned all my cooldowns and took another one out.

I think it would help if the mobs were not the same level as you. I think this one is too finely tuned.
