Guild Wars 2

Malchor’s Leap – near a Temple of Dwayna, I believe. Guarded by some trash, a vet, and then a teleporting-outta-nowhere Champion Risen Knight.

Any suggestions for soling this one as a Norn Ele?

I never knew how tough this one was, as my Thief just stealthed and walked out with not so much as a paper cut.

It won’t aggro on summons, and it hits for like 30k+ on a failed dodge. Even with dodge, it’s a matter of a few (15-20?) seconds before he recharges that skill.

My last SP in that region and it’s frustrating the snot outta me.

You can purchase a stealth kit and go easy.

Acquisition:
-Plains of Ashford
-Victor’s Presidium
– Kyra Sharptracker.

When i was doing world completion on my ele I used the elite summon in earth attunement for the all mighty “Rocky” to tank him. Just make sure you let him take the aggro before going to the skillpoint.

Are you on EU? If you are, I don’t mind jumping on to help you

Watch the event’s icon on the minimap. When it’s at the other end, run to the skill point and use it. You can use earth focus #5, arcane shield and mist form to ninja it. Earth elemental also works.

If you want to solo the champion, it’s a matter of moving in and out of melee range and dodging when it swoops.

So it turns out I accidentally (didn’t plan at all) did it Healix’ way. I just walked over and did the communion thing. (no mist form, tho).

Cmud, I’m trying that way next time… completely forgot about those!

I used to solo that champ regularly as both a guardian and a ranger. All you need to do is lure it into the open, keep your distance, and don’t stand in the fire. It has a very obvious tell before each of its dive attacks.

Whenever I need to do that skill point I jump in with an Ash Legion kit in hands. It’s the easiest way, way easier than getting the zerg killing Dwayna Statue to come lean a hand :P

Easiest way for me was to have a minion or elemental or pet to tank and distract the mob while I stealth (either with a skill or a kit) and get the SP. Sometimes you’ll get lucky and have the mob do his shield first, which gives you time to get the SP, but that’s RNG.

Yah i tried to pull him after killing all the trash. He didn’t seem to want to leave the stone walkway.

Another option if you really want to make sure he wont attack you is to kill it first on your main or another alt. I did this once or twice myself.
