Chay.7852 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Awakened canid gets my vote for chasing you over half of the map in case you want to escape. If you choose to fight, then better have some stun break otherwise you don't have a chance since they will knock you down, do dmg during the time you are down and if you somehow manage to get up, they will knock you down again.-then rinse and repeat.

fill.3106 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 not a mob but the kid in Free City of Amnoon in Crystal Oasis when trying to get the daily vista on the pipe. They put that kid there throwing water balloons at you so you're in combat and can't get the vista. It was funny on the first day but the kid is still there chucking balloons for one goal: to annoy you.But mob wise, i say canids with their knockdown and damage after. if i'm on my mesmer, its a guarantee down state.

killermanjaro.5670 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think I agree with most listed here;Smoke scales & Dust mitesMost PoF enemies, mainly due to the stupidly large aggro range they have so you can't stop to do anything for 2secs without being in combat.Chill/freeze spam in Bitterfrost, especially in the days before mounts & speedy gathering tools/glyphsThe mordrem thrasher champ that appears on the left side of iron marches, that just always seems to screw me over.

No water balloons, and if you have the Lily of Elon pass it's a swift skimmer ride to the vista.Mobs: Harpy Spellbreaker and most any mushroom are the most aggravating to me. The evade-for-days griffins are annoying, too, but only due to how they slow down the fight. Harpies and mushrooms are murderous. And the jacarandas, yes, they're not hard to kill but they are nasty ambushers. I wouldn't mind them so much if there wasn't one hovering near the little shrine just north of the Sunspear Refuge wp. That one is just there to troll us >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Smokescales for me. And every single mob in Bitterfrost. That place is full of suicidal enemies insisting on CC and pulling me back when I'm just trying to skip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Every Mordrem ever (especially snipers)...and most of the other things in the Maguuma Jungle...I admit to laughing in sadistic triumphant glee whenever I annihilate a group of pocket raptors without being annihilated in return.

Cerioth.7062 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Annoying? Chaks in swarms are extremely annoying. Same with veteran awakened canids and abominations. Hyenas. Those krait that pull you in. Sand lions.I actually do not mind smokescales as much since they can just be lured out of their smoke field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teratus.2859 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Awakened are by far the most annoying mosnters in the game because of their aggro range and access to Slow..The long range aggro is annoying enough but I cannot stand the Slow condition.. it's the most annoying condition in the game by a long shot.

theoneparttwo.9561 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Most annoying? I could go on about the Canids and the Scarabs... Indeed, those immediately sprang to mind. But I have thought of a mob of foes even more aggravating to fight - to the point where I will just avoid any contact with them at all at this point. I am talking about the Joko Loyalists in Domain of Kourna. Large spawning mob in a cavern system bringing to mind memories of Queensdale bandit cave sounds fun (at least to me). Except these mobs drop no loot (not even the Karmic Retribution), no experience, no bonus for Bloodlust. They are essentially ambient creatures for all intents and purposes, except they can actually put you in combat and waste your time fighting them before you can mount up and leave after collecting the ore/stashes in the cave.

Zephyra.4709 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I play certain maps more than others due to farm and I regularly encounter these annoying ones:smokescalesnow griffon or icebrood wolfvet icebrood trollWhy... because they miraculously manage to land a hit and get you in combat while evading... then there's CC that you cannot break out of (vet troll).

MithranArkanere.8957 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Freaking desert Branded Griffons.Absolutely no enemy is more annoying than these because of their incessant evade spam.Lions? Mites? Scarabs? Just go ranged or spam an AoE or multi-attack skills to eat the blinds.Smokescales? It's just jump to the left, they leave the smoke, you kill them.Hydras? Just keep flanking them. They won't hit you, they'll go down eventually. Djinns? Save CC until they get the breakbar, break bar, burst down, dead.Jacarandas? Just push them near a wall and bring a couple of disables, they'll stop moving away and healing.Mordrem snipers? Don't stand on the line, get close, one CC, a few hits, dead. Awakened canids? Just don't stand still, interrupt after they pop up from the ground, wack-a-mole, dead. White Mantle? Just bring large AoEs. Their teamwork goes *poof* when you hit all of them at the same time.Same with pocket raptors. One hard hitting aoe, they dead. Harpy Spellbreakers? Just break their defiance bar, their bubble goes away. Reef Drakes? Interrupt the tail sweep, move away from breath, you don't get blind or confusion, no more problem. Chak swarms? Kill the zappers ASAP, then the bracers with CC to remove invulnerable, bunch them up and walk in circles around them hitting. Keep moving, they never hit you anymore. Mushrooms? Keep moving in circles around them, they'll keep charging and jumping against walls instead you. Take the bombers first and they won't outnumber you. Bitterfrost corrupted griffons? Just CC, they go down. No more problem.But freaking desert branded griffons take AGES to kill because of the constant evades, and although they can be interrupted before they take off, there's no proper cues in their animations to see the window to interrupt, they just appear to get the evade randomly, and keep it up for way too long, and do it again when it looks like it ended.Freaking hydras with their sponge HP bars take less time to kill than desert branded griffons because of all the evades.

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I find the rifle lords in wvw to be really annoying, especially when they single you out in a 50 person zerg with their knock back. the discrimination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoriMoriMori.5349 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Really annoying? Dustmites and the like, just because they constantly blind you (and some of them also launch you from a distance), making it a pain killing them. May be also rifle soldiers in Crystal Desert, when they shoot at your melee character from afar and from a few different directions at once. Can't understand why Canids and Harpy Spellbreakers are mentioned, though. They are not annoying, just hard as kitten - and that's good, that game really lacks good challenge like this, should have more interesting, challenging mobs like those.

Flanking a PVE mob when you are alone is simply impossible. The mob will be always facing you.Also, you are mistaking difficult with annoying. That being the case, I will summarize up a way easier solution for all those mobs in your list: play with longbow, bring 10 folks with you, and while they mele the annoying mob, you use your bow to shoot just once from a safe distance. Then keep watching a movie. Oh, and it works also with freaking desert branded griffons. Easyyyyy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanking a PVE mob when you are alone is simply impossible. The mob will be always facing you.That's not what he meant. As a self-proclaimed expert hydra fighter, I can confirm that flanking works with them. Not exactly like you imagine it, may be, it's more like constantly be on the move, circling them. Because they have powerful range attack, and powerful dash attack, both launching you and putting you to a lot of damage if it hits. But the gist is that before it throws them, it freezes for a moment, facing a certain direction in which it will then attack. If you constantly circling it, you'll have just enough time to get out of its way most of the time (if you see you won't, then dodge), and often also get a chance to strike at it from its flank while it emits its beam attack, or prepares to dash forward. Then rinse and repeat. A single hydra goes down with almost zero efforts, actually. It becomes harder when there are dustmites or dust lions around, and even harder if there are 1-2 other hydras, because now you can't predict and react to all those attacks from different directions. Still doable, if you are lucky.Never thought about hydras as "annoying", they are interesting and original foe, but may be a bit too easy for a big monster like this. I would really like to see their severed heads do more meaningful stuff than just flailing and wriggling. Like keep attacking you, or put condis on you if you come too close to it etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
