unkillable leyleecher in first instance?
Had a similar problem when running my Necro with 2 minions. I agree, it really is just inexcusable, bad game design.
Yeah, it’s extremely frustrating, but it can be done. Aurene’s breath attack takes off about 2/3 of the boss’s health, so as long as you can keep the boss from regaining health past 50 or 60%, Aurene can kill it in two passes. The thing to note is that all of the boss’s attacks steal health; you can’t do much about the unavoidable spin attack, but try and stay away from your pets so that the boss’s normal attacks don’t steal life from them as well.
I agree that the encounter failed to take into account pet-builds though. Not ANet’s best design moment.
I managed to finally figure out the problem and get rid of my pets (Reaper). After that, it died quickly.
Fair warning, this isn’t the only boss in Chapter 3 where you’ll be doing this.
delicate, brick-like subtlety.

Lol, and my Necro was stealing the leecher health! It only took me about 5 minutes to figure out that I wasn’t getting anywhere….
Luckily, when I logged out and then back in (without Minions) I was able to pick up where I left off.
Change to a ranged pet, profit.
“first instance”?
This is the living world forum, but you gotta be more specific
