Guild Wars 2

Merdian Province / Thaumanova Reactor / Ancient Elemental
As a level 18-20 guardian, how can I contribute to this fight?

Not sure how to do ranged damage that can reach this boss? The staff looks pretty much nerfed for range damage.

Do I get credit for healing folks?

Do I get credit for killing minions?

How often can I do this each day? I failed once and after that even surviving the fight got me no credit. Where are the rules?

Thanks a ton for all your pleasant help.

Anyway, as a guardian, you are probably better off using a scepter (has 900 range, compared to staff’s 600). Just auto attack, using the other skills when you can/aren’t dying. You can technically do this event as many times a day as you want, but you can only get the chests for it once a day, per account

K. So sounds like scepter and a good shield for defense is a good combo.
Thanks,

The wiggly bonus chest is once per day per account but the big one that spawns on the ground is once per day per character.

The wiggly chest only appears for characters of lvl40 and up since it contains a yellow item and these start at 40 (or 39?).

Empowered(staff4) is a great help to the team DPS, and level make no difference to it. Hold the line, purging flame and bow of truth can help the team mitigate damage and conditions but not sure when you can unlock them. +1 to the sceptre suggestion, tho I usually prefer to pair it with focus , unless the the shield’s knockback will be useful. Normally I would say spam virtue of justice in a group fight but not much point in this one.

To get full reward you need to damage the fire ele. But it you don’t need to hit him a lot, 3-4 hits are usually enough, so rezzing people and buffing is very good and helpfull.
