Guild Wars 2

Can anyone suggest a strategy for completing this quest? I was bogged down in mobs and overlapping mortar circles and 2 dead npc helpers, for 20 minutes before I finally ran to the bridge to find another 20 mobs and a boss there. Impossible.

Am I missing something I should be doing?

I just kept dying and ressurecting until I wore them down. It’s happened in a couple of different places that way. I can’t offer any strategy help since I never figured it out myself, but if you just want to get past that part: die valiantly and take out as many as you can.

They didn’t seem to respawn for me, so it’s doable, just… not very interesting.

I was under the impression that the machine keeps cranking out more mobs until it’s silenced, which is why the supply of mobs just never quit. If that’s not the case, then rezzing and tackling the remainders would be helpful.
