Guild Wars 2

For the dynamic event “Drive Separatists out of Kestrel Market” in Fields of Ruin. The mad bombardier at the end was marked as a veteran — but he definitely had as much health as a champion. My level 80 warrior could take out the normal Separatists in less than a dozen hits each.

The last one took several minutes of fighting — and he was certainly hitting as hard as a champion normally does. Thankfully another player joined me when the bombardier was at 40% health or so, but even then it took another full minute of fighting to finally kill him.

I am unsure if the bombardier was supposed to be a veteran (I completed the majority of the event all alone) and just didn’t have health adjusted properly, or if he was supposed to be a champion all along and simply had the veteran portrait displayed.

He used to be marked as a Champion, as a matter of fact. I always wondered if his event was supposed to be a Group Event too, but I always assumed it wasn’t due to the fact that you get Vanguard allies respawning to come and help you fight.

Jeffrey, if we spot other enemies throughout the world that are Veterans, but have stats similar to Champions in terms of health/damage, should we report those as bugs too? As an example, there’s another event in Gendarran Fields where you’re defending the Lupikids from a territorial Veteran Drake, but the Drake hits like a Champion, taking off 1/3 to half your health in a single bite.
