Guild Wars 2

Ok so I happened to be messing around in Cursed shore seeing how big a hit I could get off when a Plinx started up, I thought what the hey! And followed the chain while a mass of players joined. by the time Plinx was done there were a lot of players and most of us headed for the newly spawned Champion Abomination. (I told this little story just so you know what kind of number of players there were). This was where it got a bit crazy. My ele has no traits in water or earth and every single piece of gear is berserkers with ruby orbs, so not one ounce of vit or toughness to speak of. This freaking champion stuck to me like glue with a rather big zerg around me, when it got to 15+ stacks of frenzy and was speeding after me like a overgrown sonic the hedgehog I just couldn’t keep up with the dodging anymore and it downed me, I mist formed away and round a corner away from the fight in the hopes of being rezzed or rezzing myself, it chased me down and hammered me to death. I was rezzed by several lovely people (i usually just WP but by the time I’d typed “wow he likes me” I was half rezzed already). I rejoined the fight, it chased me down, I managed to last long enough so that I died right before it died…. but exactly the same as the first time, I got downed, I mist formed away, it chased me down and smashed me into the ground again. I wasn’t the first one to hit it, I just don’t understand what I did to deserve this kind of attention, it never happens in dungeons. Am I unlucky or is this normal behaviour for champions outside of dungeons versus low armor/HP ele’s?

It’s that enemy’s signature aspect~ he will pick a player at random and permanently lock on to them till they die. Be glad he’s the only boss who does that.

Haha yeah that mob is a pain, I actually fought it last night and it targeted me, did not want to let me live.. my only choice was to pretty much kite him and do any damage I could while on the move. Its a fun fight haha, just don’t be too worried with him focusing you, some mobs do that .

The best thing you can do in this situation is to put up swiftness and run around in circles to keep the zergs aoe on him. Don’t even worry about damaging him (maybe drop aoes at your feet as you run for him to run over). Don’t run back and forth as he will exit aoe.

There’s no kiting that charge move, and he’s very fast even when not charging. Problem is even if you RTL, lightning flash, etc. to stay out of the way why the zerg wears him down, you probaly don’t tag him enough for loot. I was the victim once and when I res’d at the nearby WP he ran up to greet me as I was re-entering battle.
