My husband & I are also stuck at this point. We both chose the ‘defend path’ – Female Norn Ranger & Male Asura Ranger.
Ive tried switching between 15 alts, guesting on another server, full relog, changed instance through LFG and in both the day and night with no joy.
Thank you, I hope todays patch fixes it.
I believe this is a crucial piece of information.
I also chose “Defend” on the previous story-mission, and got stuck here.
While another character of my, chose the “Attack” option, and had no problems proceeding.
Please do look into this piece of information.
