Guild Wars 2

When exploring Bloodstone Fen, every non-group event enemy seems to be ridiculously fragile. Even in full celestial gear, they were dying in seconds, I didn’t even get to finish stacking might against most of them.

With so little health, they really aren’t satisfying encounters. Soloing the group battles is slightly better, but almost every time some other people decide to run in and make things easier.

The enemies in the living story instances feel like they’re made of tissue paper as well.

Let’s call them Fenemies

I think the trade off is that they hit a lot harder. Think mordrem snipers. I often have a bit of difficulty if I accidentally aggro too many white mantle.

They’re like that so my character is able to think “see, I can kill an enemy too”

I think the lesser enemies aren’t hp sponges because they are spread haphazardly around the area and with gliding and aggro range they can become a problem very quickly, unless you use your glider skills.

Thats why enemies are weak.

I welcome low health mobs. Mobs with tons of health aren’t more difficult, they’re just more annoying. I just wish some of the bosses weren’t such health sponges. Some of the champs have such large health pools but do so little damage that you can just auto-attack and then go and grab a drink, watch a movie, solve world hunger, and finally by the time you return they’ve died.

The only mobs I’ve found problematic are the rift mobs. Cant remember what mobs where there but fire imps, and a mob that was knocking me down alot, I burned to death quite quickly lol.

you need to pick up the dropped pieces and throw them at the mob. The break-bar is broken and they die quickly after that.

I will brave the “L2P” responses to say that not everyone finds the “trash” mobs a faceroll. Depending on the mob it can take me at least a minute to kill one. And I’m not a new player and have Exotic gear. Some people find certain types of gaming easier than others.

It also helps to fight the rift mobs outside of that rift circle. I know one of them dazed you for a few seconds if you don’t dodge at the right time and I think another does burning.

There are different Rifts, as well. A fire-based one, an ice-based one, an earth-based one; there may be more kinds, I’m not sure.
