Mobs we love to hate
Sharks. They kill me faster than anything before I realize they charged me.
Anything that does knock downs. Especially when you get 2 or 3 of them.
Krait. I can’t pull one of them without pulling 2 or 3 of his friends it seems. In the Sylvari areas they pretty much own my face when I have to fight them. I never just fight one krait, its two or three of his friends as well.
And for the future: Orr mobs. I get the feeling that when I get to Orr I’m going to want to punch puppies. Those mobs sound horrible.
Skelks. All of them. kitten ’em.
And as many have said, everything on Orr.
Risen anything. Just a very tediously designed set of mobs, seemingly designed to maximize annoyance.
Anything with a ‘Haha, now you see me, now you don’t!’ mechanic. Seriously, just reappear/come out of the ground so I can kill you already /yawn
Well obviously I’m not a fan of Krait because of their numbers and pull abilities but what irks me the most is destroyer crabs and crablings. Other destroyers I can deal with but crablings seem to be bugged and overpowered, during one of my personal story quest I was with a contingent of 4 Pact warriors who were overwhelmed and defeated by…3 crablings (baby bloody destroyer crabs) this and the fact that the crablings break combat for no reason and run away so they can heal and come right back to fighting you. Much swearing occurred that day.
Harpys – Not that they were any real trouble, I just hate that every time you fight one, they end up flying into the air and becoming invulnerable for a good 5 seconds.
It makes the fights with them drag on longer then need be.
Krait.
Krait are just always awful for me. Thrall just want a hug in comparison.
Asura risen, so small, yet take so long to kill.
Orr’s all mobs, imps, dredges and any other mob that has ridiculous amount of CC
Krait. All of them.
This and barracudas… Dear god the barracudas…
I hate krait more they’re like the murlocs of Tyria….. One does not simply, pull one krait, not to mention a lot of krait summon barracudas….
Screw krait!! Skales are up there too with their super regen that I can only dream of having!!
As their mother, I have to grant them their wish. – Forever Fyonna
Wolves. And, believe it or not, Moa.
Wolves because of their ability to spawn more wolves. I can be killing a wolf or two, dodging about no problem. It howls: more wolves. Now I am dodging and running in circles to stay alive in a tight space, and, oh look, I’ve aggroed another wolf. It howls: more wolves. I’m dodging, throwing fire, blasting this way and that, raining down meteors, spinning, jumping, and my health is low, but it looks like I’m going to beat this massive, self spawning, wolf pack.
An epic victory at hand.
But not so fast.
The entire time I’m fighting these wolves there are Moa running about like headless, well, Moa. A flock runs between me and the last wolf, get hit by fire, and turn hostile. I get pecked and kicked to death. By birds. Birds! Death by pecking is deeply humiliating. I hate them.
Undead… but because they creep me out. “kittenyour eyes”… that is kitten creepy. What about my eyes? Why my eyes? Why not ‘kittenyou’.
Oh and the general high amount of HP and CC they use.
anything in Orr lol
I can’t day a word that Arenanet say in game?
LEL
It sounds like Dam…
And for the future: Orr mobs. I get the feeling that when I get to Orr I’m going to want to punch puppies. Those mobs sound horrible.
lol – Orr is terrible. For being the “end game” zone; it’s dreadful. I loathe it. It’s not difficult. It’s not fun. It’s not even interesting. Why? Risen everywhere.
I played a bit this morning trying to get an “always bugged skill point” to clear it out. Teamed up with three others in the area. We seriously cleared a group of “never stop spawning Risen” that just wouldn’t ever stop. We finally kited them away. No one ever died, no one went into downed state… nothing. Just a constant stale mate vs the worst designed mobs I’ve ever seen. /punch_puppies_kittens_and_babies – then ran back to Frostgorge.
Risen Farmers.. runs like crack bunnys andkittenyou with their mighty shovel, most annoying mobs ever.
Oh lord yes the Krait
Out of the water Haha Cakewalk
in the Water More than one and you are DEAD so annoying
I’m thinking really the Underwater weaponry is not hitting as hard as it says it is
Risen Asura underwater!
Harpies. ughhh^_^

Yes, Risen seem designed to be as unfun as possible.
Anything with a ‘Haha, now you see me, now you don’t!’ mechanic. Seriously, just reappear/come out of the ground so I can kill you already /yawn
Oh yeah, I hate those too. Those and the Cave Bats
Pretty much all the ice mobs. Ice wurms, Ice norns, corrupted ice… anything that’s designed to knock me down. I hate knockdown sooo much.
Any dungeon mob, almost zero threat but way too much health.
Every single spider with the pull/immobilize ability. Dear lord.
Multiple pistol wielding pirates. Oh hey a pirate fight him and 3 more come out from nowhere, oh and of course they don’t all shoot me at once so I can dodge it all, I’m running from pirate to pirate limping like a zombie can’t decide which one to kill (because at least one of them crippled me) whIle my character looks like a piñata getting blasted from different angles all at once hahaha.
Also any mob that pulls, such a great mechanic, but boy it can inspire some rage when you aren’t expecting it/low hp/30572047 mobs next to the one that pulled you.
This thread is hilarious.
I am enjoying this thread.
I hate that zombie limp. Nothing worse than realizing you are in over your head, and try to run, but end up in that limping state, with both ‘v button’ flip flops used and self heal still on CD. Sometimes I just turn around like, I’m going down fighting!!! /battlecry.
Monsters I find I can’t stand are kraits. Really any underwater monster. I feel I suck at underwater fighting. I have a ‘dmg charge’ ability that I can’t ever seem to get a proper aim and end up going way over him or way under, in which I have no control over my character during that time, so at times I end up charging right into a set of mobs a mile away. When I see a skill point or event underwater, I facepalm.
Every single mob in Orr (I can’t tell you how sad it is that I HATE 3/4’s of the endgame zones a.k.a. 70+)
Krait lvl 50+
To be honest, until they add more high level content (zones) I will prob play other games in between leveling alts – Orr is just too horrible – completely anti-fun.
