Retribution - Champion Risen Plaguebearer

OK, I’ve done the Battle for Claw Island several times and got past this champion risen with ease before. Now I’m back here facing him as I escort Zott to the Priory light tower.
All risen mob groups dispatched, and now only the Champion Risen Plaguebearer stands between me – and a party of NPC Whispers agents, Doern and Barron.

Enter fight- the Risen trolls me, teleporting around the whole platform, spawning Locust Swarms like crazy and yes, I know about 10 sec repeated application duration, but we’re hanging in there curing conditions like hell… one by one the NPCs go down, and I’m fighting him alone, and if I don’t die by massive condition damage, the Champion Risen returns to his start area and heals back up.

I’m fighting him on the platform – I’m not kiting him too far for him to reset…

Can you look into this champion mob, Anet?

I’ve downgraded the Plaguebringer to a veteran, so that should stop it from using Locust Shield among other abilities. When the champion plaguebringer was upgraded to make it better for open world content, it was assumed to be facing multiple players. I don’t have an ETA for when the change will go live, but it’s in the queue for inclusion in a future update.
