Guild Wars 2

As a part of my daily thing I do events, and one that stands out in particular is the Champion Svanir Shaman at the end of the Frozen Maw event in the norn starter area.

Since the boss has been buffed and the time limit imposed, I’ve noticed that no matter what I do on my ele (staff, scepter/dagger) I’ll be in the fight from the very beginning and remain until it’s dead and the event over.

I’ll be in the thick of things with the scepter/dagger dealing huge damage (comparitively, it’s scaled down for the area) or on the outer providing heals and doing damage with the staff. It doesn’t seem to matter what tactics I use or which weapons, I seem to get a white (basic) champ loot bag at the end about 80% of the time, and an exotic version the remaining 20%.

I can’t see any differences with my approach for either time I’m in the fight, I’m doing as much damage as everyone else does and participate for the full fight.

I wanted to know how many other people have noticed this, and more importantly, why it appears to happen at all.

PS: sorry if this has been brought up before, maybe someone can post a link for a more active thread, but nothing turned up in a search for ‘champ’ or ‘loot’.

The rarity of those boxes is just from the level difference.
Getting a white champ box is the champ box version of getting a lv10 drop instead of a lv80 drop.

Some times I get white boxes/bags from Champs in Wayfarer, and some times I get level-appropriate-to-my-character boxes/bags from Champs there. Just a roll of the dice. I think it’s WAI.
