Guild Wars 2

I use mace/focus in dungeons when I want to get into the melee action. It’s a great healing/defensive set up. I enjoy the blind/heal (#4 focus) and shield of wrath (focus #5) more than I do the shield’s 4 and 5 skills. Shield #5 feels especially useless to me in dungeons, except for certain situations where I need to bump mobs away (but this usually messes up area targeted spells more than it helps the group). For that reason I see mace/focus as the best defensive melee combo in dungeons—especially if you use a rune in the mace that has a chance to chill mobs.

I also experienced a bug with this quest, but my bug was that the giant risen abominations constantly regen their health back to full, making them unkillable. I cannot progress through the quest.
