Guild Wars 2

How do you repair keep doors? I’m killed by aoe from outside when I try to do it. Is it intended? Any suggestions?

very carefully

You can get close and do it alone, sometimes. More reasonably you can have other players chain their abilities together to provide a few seconds time for everyone to get a few hits in.

You can sometimes hit it once or twice and then back up and heal.

Depending on your class, you may not be able to do it alone against a zerg.

I believe all AoE in the game displays a red circle on the ground before it hits. So watching for those might help.

The best way would be to stand in a corner, if possible otherwise, the supply is better spent on defensive sieges such as arrow carts. Things like Guardian’s “3” GS skill will not show as a red circle.

From the outside.

Kill everyone at the door. Then repair it.

Warriors can repair easily and safely.

Walk to door > Frenzy + Immune pain + Repair > 3s later door repaired and dodge roll back before you get isnta-killed when Immune pain ends.
