This is a question I have been wondering for a long time. Using this build: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10164162

Would it be possible to get past his aggro bubble, you could cast Symbiosis just out of his aggro bubble, and run through. Your warrior friends might distract him? My computer keeps shutting off on GW, so I can't test this. If this does work...

An assassin can get past them by teleporting to an enemy. In saltspray beach this would be easiest. to get out without dieing you would have to teleport again and make sure to stay out of the agro range of the defender.

Well the damage cant be reduced, and neither can the kd (im pretty sure) but if you could distract the guy and run past as fast as you could, you might be able to make it. As far as being inside, no one knows if he will follow you and kill you once you're inside. But it would be fun seeing one whiole side rushing the base defender.

Base Defense has no recharge. They'll just use it a second time and kill you.

Correction, it has a 1 second recharge.

In the preview event for factions the battles didnt end if your team had capped all the shrines, so on occasion (usually when you managed to get 12 alliance members/friends in the same battle) there were matches when a whole side was rushing the base defenders, while we waited for the counter to accumulate points from the shrines. The defenders didnt follow you and they could be killed, though it was hard to do and they quickly respawned.

iv seen people camp the base after killing the defender, it basically took the entire team of 12 with coordinated builds on vent. it was stupid, they have probably made him near invincible since then.

Base Defenders are Invulnerable. You can't cast spells on them or attack them.

PBAoE 12 char, or maybe they didnt used to be. this was right after factions release.

How would you get close enough to use PBAoE? You can't Shadow Step to them, and if you try running up to them, they can just kill you with Base Defense.

It was possible to kill him in the factions beta weekend but if i remember correctly when people managed to kill the Base Defender he ressed after awhile and gave them a nasty shock with Base Defense. So it was pointless to try anyway.
