Guild Wars 2

Thought I would start a thread! I push for the Veteran Karka because they have the most variety of attacks, double HP bar, most boons, best evade, etc. of any of the non-boss or champ NPCs.

Personally my best was to successfully tackle two vets simultaneously while 2 little ones join the fray.

Just some stuff in HoT to play with…

Ancient Golem duo, found inactive on the path to the golem hero challenge in Auric Basin (run past both of them, then turn around). They have the usual golem rapid fire, except it’ll spam you with slow. When they’re not doing that, they’ll rush to knock you over.

Shadowscale pack, found outside the cave leading to the golem hero challenge in Auric Basin. Take on multiple veterans to deal with a constant stream of invulnerabilities and deadly assaults.

Veteran Shadowleaper, found in Verdant Brink, various places. High damage, immune to ranged targets and is highly mobile, a counter to builds such as a staff elementalist.

Veteran Devastator and friends, found in Dragon’s Stand. Immune to damage and spams leap until it gets tired. Without simply running away to avoid it, evade the leaps while taking out the rest of the group.

Tbh, i havent found the optimal mob yet. Everythings overkilling or mindnumbingly easy. Veterans in HoT seems to be fun, though. Especially the chack. One type forces you to toggle melee and ranged, and another forces you to pull in and out as younstay on the tip of your feet

Favorites so far are the test dummies in HotM, agro as many as you think you can handle
