As of 10.2 this worldquest is bugged. Healing/rescuing the Injured Enlightened doesn't actually progress the wq. Remember to send off a report about it every time you come across this WQ being up in-game - don't let Blizzard sleep on it like the way they slept on Battles Won Long Ago for almost a year...Fixed as of December 9th. Good job team, it only took us a month of reports instead of a year.
Nice double whammy, wound up slightly out of bounds and it reset my sample count from 12 to zero, then while fighting a smasher and mastermind for my last motes, 3 mites started attacking me from above and my warrior could just helplessly die with no real ability to attack them.
How are melee players supposed to interrupt the Engorged Mites? Poorly designed world quest.
