Guild Wars 2

When you get the path where you have to plant the bombs, is there any trick to preventing the sneaky little dredge from picking the bombs up before they explode? Most of the time we are lucky to get one bomb to explode per charge up the stairs. I don’t find having one person draw aggro helps much, wiping up next to the bombs maybe helps a little, and killing most of the mobs doesn’t stop some from sneaking in and grabbing bombs.

I play a guardian and I’ve tried Ring of Warding, Line of Warding, Sanctuary, and Shield of Absorption, but none of these seem to have any effect. Is there any way to get all the bombs to explode so you can get it done in 2-3 cycles?

You just said it yourself. One person aggros the dredges, but he has to do it right. The person doesn’t just aggro the dredges and stand there, they have to aggro then run back to make the dredges move away from the wall. It helps if you have a thief also.

With the thief the person that aggros start aggroing all the dredges and move back. Don’t plant the bombs until the dredges move away from the wall. Planting the bombs before the dredges move away doesn’t work.
