Guild Wars 2

In the Precocious Aurene episode, my Asura thief fought the final boss (Leyline Leecher) for more than 20 minutes solid without ever getting the “sync” dots needed for her and Aurene to defeat the boss. Nothing would break the boss’s bar either… cantrips, poisons, nothing did it. I got the leecher down to 90% on sheer determination but, of course, it regens fully every so often.

Several other characters did just fine in this episode. So I’m wondering if a recent patch may have broken it.

The leecher should spin roughly every minute, shooting projectile AoEs all over. At this time, Aurene should move into position as 2 white circles appear. Standing in the circle isn’t enough, as you also need to additionally attack the boss to unlock the counter skill.

If you weren’t seeing any of that, it was bugged, but it’s not bugged for everyone as I just played through it.

It was bugged the first time. Neither the circles nor the counter skill occurred. As mentioned before, some of my other chars had successfully passed the episode so I knew what should happen.

Today I tried again with the same character. Aurene and my little thief beat the leecher in about 3 minutes total. Aurene’s first blast took the leecher down to 34%; her second blast destroyed it.

Since there was no repeat, I have to conclude it was just a transient glitch. Thanks for the reply.
