Underwater Reset
This happens to me all the time, I thought it was just something I was doing wrong. It’s usually when they’re at about 20 – 25% HP left which is incredibly annoying.
You’re wandering away from their patrol/sentry location during the fight. Stop doing that. It does it with land mobs, too – it’s just easier to do so without realizing it underwater.
I don’t really move during fights though (leftover habit from WoW), so unless I’m drifting in the current I don’t think that’s it.
Happens to me a lot too. It’s not necessarily because of him moving too far as I’ve stood next to their spawn spot and fought them there purposefully many times to see if it was me straying too far.
I think it has something to do with it being screwy with the z-axis being more prominent in the water or something, because it’s happened on land too, but very rarely.
Yep, this has made underwater combat all but unplayable for me. I solo’d a veteran down to about 10% and suddenly it went invulnerable, regenerated health, and then attacked me while several of my skills were still timed out.
I agree. I am having so much trouble getting some skill points that are guarded by a veteran as for the constant resets. The current strategy I use is to swim onto the skill point – and then when the veteran resets, I just attune myself and get out.
I have tried many, many, many, many, many times to kill them – as it makes me feel like i have actually earned it. but… i gave up after dying a few times because after each reset would see me with more abilities on cooldown.
One that was particulary frustrated was the underwater skill point near the Royal Froum POI in Straits of Devastation.
