These enemies cannot be killed just by damaging them, and they will stay at 1 health if you try to kill them with damage. To kill them, you need to use the nearby Magnet Dispensers to gain the buff Field Despair Magnet. You need to stand near the Field Despair Bot K156 with this buff active to knock it backwards into the Electrical Pylon at the center of the blue electricity AoE. Using any ability or being hit by certain debuffs will cause you to lose the magnet buff, and you will need to get a new buff from the dispenser.

Awful task. It's unclear what is meant to be done and is incredibly easy to grief unintentionally. Magnets will drop off you for just being glanced at. The trinket [item=202615] for example makes holding a magnet very difficult.
If you get this task and nobody knows what is going on you're basically locked out of progressing the event as the boss is immune to taunts.
If push comes to shove and no one is helping you can mount up on your dragon. Fly out of the area till the task drops off then hook around and fly back into the area for a new task. Takes a few seconds to do, but beats just sitting there with an unfinisable task.
