Guild Wars 2

My friend and I ran into a bugged event last night in the southern Blazewood Steppes in the Crystal Desert server. A Champion Orge Chieftan had spawned in one of the Ogre camps, and we went off to slay it. It wasn’t too difficult at first, but then it knocked us back with an area effect and regenerated ALL off its health. It didn’t act like it reset, it was just – boop! – completely rehealed.

This happened several times. Even if I immediately broke the knockdown and teleported to him, he’d be healed. We got him down to 20% health at one point, and it still healed him full. Even if my friend was unaffected because he was at range and I got knocked down, even if my friend was still shooting, this happened.

We finally managed to kill the thing and complete the event by just piling on pure DPS, the event completed and the AIs started to walk away…then the thing immediately respawned. The AIs talked to it as they continued to run away. This time no mini map icon displaying it as an event, and the Champion still showed the bugged heal behavior. So we walked away.

It seemed really bugged to me. Hopefully someone can look into it.

What you ran into was one of the very rare Ogre shamans. They have the ability to heal themselves. I believe they learned this from the Burning Legion – oh wait, wrong game…

This was reported four months ago, and it still isn’t fixed. Not all of us level through crafting, can we get this sorted please?

Isn’t this the event where you damage it until it heals and summons pets (making it invulnerable until they’re dead, I think) and then repeat until it runs out of pets and you finish it off?

I think it is.

I reported this long ago, a few months after release. Both ingame bug report and here.

Both Ogre Chieftains as part of this event chain can and often will reset seemingly at random. I find it funny that they fixed a bug related to the events that halted progress, but seemingly overlooked the fact that the chieftains are simply unkillable unless you have decent damage (or a couple people helping), as they simply reset after a time.

I think it may have to do with getting stuck on the terrain, and resetting, as they seem to do it more if they’re moving around a lot.

You’re thinking of the named Ogre Chieftain in Fields of Ruin. Different fight, different zone. (Although the same type of champion).
