Could you please make all event mobs invulnerable for a few seconds, or until they reach a certain spot? I lose all desire to participate in or even watch some events because people stack traps/spam AoE and mobs explode on spawn.

Some* already do this. Not all events which spawn waves of mobs do, though.

No, they don’t, else I wouldn’t have made this thread. Some events are pretty much inaccessible at the moment because the mobs are dying on spawn to a ring of turrets, a stupid number of traps, and half a dozen elementalists.

Yes, they do. Maybe not for every single Dynamic Event, but this system is already in place. TBH I don’t see why you can’t just AOE the same area everyone else is.

Just for your information: some classes (ie mesmer) can’t aoe effectively. Not enough time to send in a clone bomb for aoe, because all the mobs are already dead: those clones take forever to run in and get to the target. And the main aoe we have is on such a long cooldown. It sucks.

Thank you for proving my point.

And I’ve already given up on trying to AoE the same mobs. Unless I can predict when they’re about to pop up and use it beforehand, I get no credit.

I agree! The xp is just a bonus. What we mesmers are missing out on are the loot drops. The only way to get cloth/hide is via them stupid bags that we dont stand a chance on getting with the nuclear aoe bombs going off that every other class has access too. Sure spawn 3 clones and send them in the mind wrack… wave is 90% dead by the time you get them near the targets.

Which type are you having problems with? Defending from waves of mobs? Escort events? Better yet just name the specific events your having issues with.

I think that mobs should have increased HP as more people join the event so that everyone gets credit.

I think the problem here is not just AoE. I having problems with Engineers parking their turrets at Event spots. The turrets are control by the server and so are the mobs. So before we players even see the mobs the turrets already know where the “invisible” mobs are at and firing at will. I hope they delay turrets firing when mob spawn.
