Guild Wars 2

Is the Temple of Balthazar EVER uncontested? For weeks now every time I check on it, it’s contested, which means wall to wall mobs. It’d be nice to be able to get into the vicinity to at least get the skill point sometime in this lifetime.

take your guild, random ppl ant retake it for u easy

You can get the skill point while it’s contested. I did on my Guardian by killing off a few mobs, then placed a Wall of Reflection in front of the skillpoint that reflected off all the attacks coming at me long enough for me to get the skill point. I dunno your profession, but you might be able to do something similar.

Use an ash legion spy kit or get a thief to shadow refuge you

Good Luck OP.

Temple is almost never uncontested for multiple reasons.
1. Event chain to free it bugs most of the time.
2. Lack of people. With the new fractal dungeon, lost shores, and Plinx farming in cursed shore, there is usually not enough people to retake the temple whenever the chain doesn’t bug.

You can get the skill point though. It can be difficult to get solo, depending on your class. If you get a few people, you can often clear up to the skill point so you can take turns getting it, while the others defend mobs.
