Guild Wars 2

I’m very frustrated with this part of the storyline right now. I’ve spent over an hour trying to whittle down the undead in the courtyard, all my allies are dead and continue to die when revived, undead continue to spawn no matter how many I kill, to no avail. I know it’s not a level issue, I’m a lvl 61 ranger scaled down to level 57 for this part, and my race/profession has plenty of revive options that should help, but just aren’t enough. The earlier parts of the story were fine! Challenging, and doable, but the courtyard has me stuck and very irritated that I spent all this time on it.

I’m glad to know it’s not just me, though I wish I had known sooner not to waste my time.

Please, someone fix the infinite stream of undead! Just moving the creatures down a level won’t help, the NPCs need to be able to hold their own too, so I’m not swarmed by a group of over 30 undead when I even step a foot inside the control area.

Thank you in advance!

Edit:
I took the suggestion of some of the other posters, and was able to complete “control” of the courtyard by luring the Veteran Acolyte outside the red ring. The remainder of the story went smoothly, except for after I had defeated the dragon and it was time to check in with the leaders of all the groups. The Veteran and other undead were still alive (I hadn’t killed him in the quest, just led him outside the circle), and as soon as I got near the people I was supposed to be talking to, he began spawning undead again. None of the NPCs were targeted or attacked (which might have been helpful) and I died twice before I was able to out-run/ not aggro any of the undead. I went to talk to Traherne, the last part of the quest, and the undead found me again, leaving me dead when the cutscene ended. I’m pretty confident I would not have been able to defeat the Vet or any of the undead he spawned, as they were all level 61…even just one was enough to defeat me with all of my armor broken.

Hope some of this helps.

I am also interested in learning more about Ranger-bow builds for PvE! I know very little about build creation, so I’m really green here.
