First and i don’t get tired of saying this, i like to congratulate the guild wars 2 team for developing this new mobs and the AI.
They are so different one from each other that actually is driving crazy all the players that are used to run mindlessly spamming 1 for the gold. Now they have to actually play.

You have to love the new designs. They are simply amazing, very detailed, and the skills and tactics are so well developed. There is nothing out of place like a why it can even cast that? and the trash mobs AI is so much fun (teragrifs with your charge that hits you from 300 units away you being on their side, i’m looking at you)
Just some suggestions because the feedback in those is largely very positive.

  • more mobs that apply more different kind of conditions. In VB only could see cripple and venom. Would be nice if the mobs could apply different kind of conditions using the AI to select when to use each. Not like one attack put 7 different conditions on you, more like the different sets of skills some of them apply some condition. Same as any player skill. Like slow, chill, confusion. Right now most of the mobs are zerker, would be nice to see some condi and hibrid based.
  • Please look to improve their coordination when they attack in group to a group of players. they still tend to stack when the is a group involved, would be nice to see the trash mobs to use the environment to their advantage. Their are individually much more smarter but still don’t work as a team.
  • please think about the two sets of weapons for the trash mobs. Would be nice if an sniper could swap to daggers if there is no choice than fight in melee. That could open a lot of new tactics.
  • some said in other thread: please allow some of the trash mobs to be able to use and apply boons to their allies/themselves. Boons like Quickness, Regeneration,Resistance, Aegis… They aren’t shown in the rest of Tyria. This could make us to desire to equip boon stripping/corruption and thus we can have more choices of builds instead let’s deal all the damage we can .

The downside of all of this is that the rest of the mobs in Tyria seems so predictable are borinnnnggg…

I TOLD YOU SO
Inverse to Apple: SBeast is the worst yet.. jurl jurl
I’m all in for Team Irenio!
