Guild Wars 2

Technically, during your fight with that champion you were its level. Your level gets lowered down to the area’s level, that’s how it works in the game. You’re gonna have to use pure skill if you wanna take that bad boy down.

Also, if you’re a solo player and you want to take down a mob that most of the time requires at least 5 people to take down…..you’re not going to have much success. Though I do agree that champions tend to clamp on their target and won’t give up until they’re downed instead of using normal aggro system.

Some helpful information for you:

Veterans – Consider these a big threat if you are newish to the game or yet to unlock a few of the best traits/skills and Elite.

Champions/Events named “Group” – Generally these were designed NOT to be soloed. They are intended for a group and in some cases a big Zerg even. However saying this depending on the champion in question some are solo-able but effectively you should be at level 80 with all skills/traits unlocked and have a very good/experianced build.

I know all this from experiance and am now going through the process of going through all the maps again fully exploring them to find and test myself solo against all said Champions. I can tell you from experiance a quick example I have. I use my Main (Engineer) and for Queensdale I can solo the following champions:

Bandit – Bandihaunt Caverns, super easy.
Wasp – Can be a tough/close fight but it is possible and with another person a sure thing.
Boar – Super easy.
Oakheart – Easy enough, I’m always at full health with my build.
Spider – SE of the hunting lodge, often he is a hidden boss for most people but he is similar to the wasp, can be tricky but do-able. One gripe I have is he is NOT an event when he should be since he is guarding nothing for a reward.

Troll – Very tough, not sure yet as when I tried others always come but I would say this would be one I probably can’t solo. He just hits too high and too often plus all his knockdowns can be problematic as they are ranged attacks which makes kiting almost impossible.

Behemoth – Never tried as everyone always flocks to this as you can imagine but I would say it is probably possible.

So thats one map with examples, I have done others and am still in the process of testing more. But like I say these bosses were put into these maps more for “end game” challenges if solo and as group events if not at a high level/player skill level with eveything unlocked that you need.

Hope that info helps somewhat.

You weren’t level 53, look at the level displayed in green.
