Outdated Monsters[edit]
Since the introduction of 7 heroes and the ongoing skill buffing and with the increasing level of skills players gain with GW Beyond i am going to rework this suggestion quite a bit. No longer focussing on NM i am going to suggest a build change to all of the HM monsters of all the campaigns to match the level of current players better, is what i said before but with the modestly speaking very large increase in power of the monsters i like to adopt the Zaishen Mode difficulity for this suggestion. As it can be seen below i do not mind using more than one elite in a skill bar to increase the difficulity. Monsters now also have skill that work better as a team and in some cases i even designed a new enemy to make monster team builds work better. The great increase in difficulity might also need a new and better reward to compensate the new difficulity. I also plan on adding area effects and NPC's to assist players. Starting with prophecies.

Ascalon[edit] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The first and easiest region of Prophecies. Monsters in Ascalon are less stronger than other monsters found in other regions and often rely on other monsters for their builds to work effectively. Devourers[edit]Devourers pop up with all 4 professions present per group and focus on pressure damage. Devourers are able to inflict degenerative conditions and posses multiple interrupts, however they have limited defensive abilities.
Gargoyles[edit]Gargoyles are able to inflicts large ammounts of damage through the Air Magic spells of the Flash Gargoyles and able to reduce the effectiveness of their enemies through the skills of the Shatter Gargoyles. Making them even more challenging is the healing capabilities of the Resurrect Gargoyles who are able to swiftly ressurect their fallen allies.
Grawls[edit]Grawls are able to deal a fairly large ammount of damage but their biggest danger comes from their knock down capabilities. Grawls becomes more dangerous when their numbers increase as they can keep your team knocked down. The Grawl Ulodytes spawn in numbers no more than 2, they posses strong healing skills as well as defensive skills and a ressurect.
Elementals[edit]Elementals do not offer much of a threat individually but one should still be careful since they all posses some form of a knock down and when multiple types of these elementals are together can knock your party down frequently during battle. Stone Elementals and Stone Furies pose the largest threat as they can deal a large ammount of damage to your entire party.
Plants[edit]In the seared remains of Ascalon plants are not commonly seen but can still mean trouble. Crown of Thorns in particular as they randomly spawn near mobs to offer support. Singed Oaks primarily spread around bleeding and poison and place traps near their location wich can easily take out the ones caught in them. They posses both healing and strong defense to keep themselves alive, Aspect of Oak makes them even more resilient. Quickening Zephyr allows them to place their traps even more frequently and allows them to use their defensive skills much more often. Once engaged at least one Crown of Thorns spawns to support them.
Humans[edit]Bandits randomly wander throughout Ascalon and can be very troublesome to deal with as they posses multiple defensive skills. They use a combination of Earth Magic and Inspiration Magic to defend themselves, combining Glyph of Swiftness with Obsidian Flesh they are able to maintain Obsidian Flesh making spells useless. They attack in melee and use Fire Magic to take out their opponents. The Renegades can also be found wandering throughout Ascalon but are not as resilient as the bandits are, however they deal alot more damage. Renegades use point-blank area-of-effect Fire Magic to take out their enemies while Renegade Elementalists use ranged Fire Magic to take out their enemies. Renegade Elementalist use Godspeed to increase the speed of the Renegades wich makes kiting and avoiding the spells of the Renegades very difficult.
Charr[edit]All the normal charr have been replaced by the more powerful Charr Lords who can always be found traveling in groups of 6 with all professions present. Because of this their groups posses a large variety of skills and effects wich makes them difficult to handle. They posses multiple means to inflict burning and largely deal fire damage. Altough they have a large variety in skills they lack an effective healer since their monks focus on Smiting Prayers and only posses Smiter's Boon as healing skill.
Other Wildlife[edit]Abominations are effective minion masters who exploit the corpses of fallen Ascalonian Soldiers who are scattered throughout Dragon's Gullet. Tar Behemoth are very resilient warriors and unless some specific skills are taken to take them out it is nearly impossible to kill them. Due to their resilience they have limited offensive abilities and limited healing, however Crown of Thorns spawn near them and support them. Hydras are the most dangerous foes encountered in Ascalon. They chain Meteor and combine it with Bed of Coals to inflict large ammounts of damage and keeping their foes from moving when they use their spells. Storm Riders spawn in less numbers per mob in HM but are far more dangerous as they can counter almost anything. Able to remove enchantments and hexes and able to counter both martial attacks and spells as well as summons. They can very often be found with Elementals. The Melandru's Stalker replace the charmable pets and are found in packs of fairly large numbers. They use the old sword combo wich enables them to deal quite a powerful spike, combined with their large number they are found they can deal large ammount of AoE damage trough Hundred Blades. Like the Melandru's Stalker the The Moa Birds replace the charmable pets and are found in a large number. Opening with a strong spike they can keep their enemies knocked down, combined with their large numbers it makes them dangerous foes.

Northern Shiverpeaks[edit] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The second region in Prophecies and home to many wild life and the Shiverpeak Tribe and the powerful Stone Summit. Foes here can often be found in large numbers and are much more powerful than those in Ascalon. Shiverpeak Tribe[edit]The Shiverpeak Centaur use their warriors to take in the damage while their ranger spam Barrage powered by Conjure Frost to deal damage, their monks are used as backline healers avoiding combat. The Shiverpeak Tribe are not the most dangerous foes but should not be underestimated. The warriors are able to inflict conditions and have Trample that gives them a knock down wich only the warriors posses. They are also able to support their allies both offensively and defensively and are able to both heal and protect themselves. The rangers maintain Winter to convert all elemental damage into cold damage wich all centaurs have high armor against, they also maintain Frozen Soil making it impossible to resurrect. They continuously spam Barrage powered by Conjure Frost to deal damage to their foes and act as the main force of damage, they also posses two interrupt wich makes them troublesome foes. Their monks don't spawn in numbers more than 2 and are capable healers, they are also able to remove both hexes and conditions and maintain Vigorous Spirit on their allies at all times. They use Mantra of Frost to reduce the damage they take and together with Channeling acts as their energy managment. They use Healing Touch to heal themselves and Dwayna's Kiss to heal their allies.
Stone Summit[edit]The Stone Summit are the strongest enemies that can be encountered in the Northern Shiverpeaks. Their forces are large and diverse and posses many different skills. Defeating them without the correct skills and strategy can prove very difficult. Stone Summit usually go for the weaker caster backline first ignoring the martial frontline. Dolyak Riders are the support units are offer both healing and protection. They can easily remove conditions and hexes from both their allies and themselves, they are also capable of resurrecting their allies. Altough being able to both heal and protect they rely on Life Sheat combined with Divine Boon to heal wich makes them weak against energy denial and enchantment removal. Stone Summit Crushers and hammer warriors who combine Backbreaker with Rending Aura and Crushing Blow to remove enchantments and to inflict deep wound. They use Harrier's Grasp to snare their foes and use Pious Restoration to heal themselves, often consuming Rending Aura to remove hexes from themselves as well. To be able to use their spells they use Auspicious Blow as energy managment. Stone Summit Crushers mostly focus their attention on foes attacking their casters. Stone Summit Howlers use a combination of Curses and Restoration Magic. They are able to remove enchantments to counter protective enchantments and posses Vocal Minority and Meekness to counter the Imbagon. Other than that they primarily have a supportive role buffing the damage of their martial allies with Barbs and healing them with Restoration Magic. They also posses Flesh of My Flesh and resurrect as soon as one of their allies falls. They focus on the martial class enemies and supporting their allies. They always use Barbs on the target that is being attacked their warrior allies. Stone Summit Sages combine Frustration with Psychic Instability a dangerous interrupt. They also posses Power Drain as interrupt and can remove enchantments trough Drain Enchantments. They also support the conditions their allies inflict trough Fragility and Toxicity. With Primal Echoes they counter the use of signets used by their foes since none of the Stone Summit posses a signet. Stone Summit Sages always focus their skills on the enemy 's backline casters. Stone Summit Scouts are dangerous foes posses 3 interrupt and can spread around poison with ease. They posses Brambles to inflict bleeding and Earthbind supporting the knock down capabilities of their allies and use Restoration to resurrect their fallen allies. Like the Stone Summit Sages they always focus on the enemy's backline casters. Summit Axe Wielders are the main damage scource of the frontline and can deal a large ammount of damage with Cleave and Executioner's Strike. They are able to critical hit with ease due to the skills "Fear Me!" and "Go for the Eyes!" giving a constant high DPS. They use "Find Their Weakness!" whenever it is available to deal a large ammount of damage. They always go for the same target as their allies do creating a dangerous spike. Summit Beastmasters posses 4 knock down wich wich 3 of the are AoE knock downs. They are also able to spread around poison and can easily transfer conditions. They usually position themselves at an enemy's location where they are able to knock down multiple foes, from there they either attack the target that is closest to them or the target that is already being attacked. Ice Golems like Stone Summit Sages and Stone Summit Scouts are very capable ate interrupting, they combine Spinal Shivers with Ice Spear to interrupt foes. They use Ether Renewal combined with Water Attunement and Aura of Restoration to heal themselves and preventing their energy from running out. They start by casting Maelstrong on the enemy's backline and Blurred Vision on the enemy's fronline. From there they continue attacking the frontline of the enemy while the Stone Summit attack the backline.
Other Wildlife[edit]The local wildlife of the Northern Shiverpeaks are not as dangerous as the Stone Summit but should still not be underestimated as they can hit hard in the often large numbers they found in. Frostfire Dryders posses many life steal skills and many hexes to take on their foes. They are able to counter both martial classes and caster classes trough Soul Leech and Faintheartedness and keep the support of their enemies at bay with Mark of Subverion. They often travel in numbers between 4 to 6. Snow Ettins can deal a large ammount of damage and can knock down their foes while being resistant to knock down themselves. Besides Balanced Stance they use "Watch Yourself!" to protect them and Antidote Signet to keep themselves clear from harmful conditions. They often travel in numbers of 6-8. Snow Wolfs replace their charmable namesakes. Snow Wolfs travel in packs of 8 and deal a moderate ammount of damage on their own but they usually focus on a single target making them alot more dangerous then they first appear to be. They can easily maintain "Watch Yourself!" and posses an interrupt often preventing their target from using any skills. Minotaurs are high level hard hitting warriors capable of dealing a large ammount of damage. They posses 2 elite skills and are the only ones in the Northern Shiverpeaks to posses more than one elite skill. Their defensive skills and healing skills makes them tough to handle. They travel in numbers between 3 to 5 and attack the foe that is closest to them regardless of the health or class. Juniper Barks are monks that use a combination of Smiting Prayers and Healing Prayers to support the local wildlife. They are capable of removing conditions and hexes from their allies but not from themselves. They use Healing Whisper to heal their allies and Healing Touch to heal themselves. They spawn in numbers of 1 to 2 but never 3 or more and do not spawn near the Stone Summit and the Shiverpeak Tribe. Ice Drakes are the strongest of all the foes encountered in the Northern Shiverpeaks. They have a very high level and deal a very large ammount of damage with both their spells and in melee. They can be found in all of the explorables of the Northern Shiverpeaks but often alones, sometimes in numbers of 2 to 3 but no more than 4.

Kryta[edit] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Kryta has by far the largest monster diversity in prophecies and has some very powerful monsters. The high ammount of different monsters and the different builds they use makes it difficult for team builds that rely on a single strategy as it may work on one type of foe but may not work on other foes. Caromi Tengu[edit]The Caromi rely alot of physical damage and can deal quite a lot of it. Both the mid level Caromi as the high level Caromi can be found together even in the lower end areas of Kryta. Their builds are highly individual and do not rely on eachother's build to work or for improvement. They lack a supportive healer and rely on self heal and defense to survive. As tengus all of them posses Tengu Mimicry. They are often found in large groups of 8 usually composed out of 4 mid level Caromi Tengu and 4 high level Caromi Tengu. The Caromi Tengu Brave come in both an axe version and sword version and are able to spike hard, however the attack skills they use take time to charge due to the high adrenaline costs they have. They also posses attacks that punish blocking but also skills that causes them to lose all adrenaline. They both focus on a single target to create a spike, often the one that is aggro'd first. The Caromi Tengu Elite also come in both an axe version and sword version. The axe version uses Tripple Chop and Cyclone Axe to take out multiple foes at once while the sword version combines "For Great Justice!" with Dragon Slash to deal a large ammount of damage to a single foe. Caromi Tengu Elite focus on the backline of their foes instead of the ones that are aggro'd first. Caromi Tengu Fierce deal a large ammount of damage with the combined powers of Glass Arrow and Brutal Weapon. They focus on the target that is being spiked by the Caromi Tengu Braves. Caromi Tengu Scouts spread around poison and combine it with Signet of Toxic Shock to deal damage. Like the Caromi Tengu Fierce they focus on the target that is being spiked by the Caromi Tengu Braves. Caromi Tengu Seers combine energy denial with armor ignoring AoE damage to take out the caster backline of their enemies. They ignore frontline foes and priorize casters at all times untill they are taken out. Caromi Tengu Wilds focus on taking out the frontline of the enemy while the Caromi Tengu Seers focus on the backline. They posses both blind and adrenaline denial skills as well as skills that interrupt and punish attacks. Opposite to the Caromi Tengu Seers they ignore casters and priorize the martial classes at all times untill they are taken out.
Gargoyles[edit]The Mergoyles are some of the less powerful foes encountered in Kryta but should not be underestimated. They are able to deal a large ammount of damage to the ones that are unprepared. They are often found in groups going between the numbers of 5 to 6 and have no real target priority. Mergoyles are Wastrel spammers and combine it with the disabling power of Power Block. They combine Mantra of Earth with Stone Strikes to stay alive. Mergoyle Wavebreakers are not as resilient as Mergoyles with can deal alot more damage with their Water Magic spells. They combine their Water Magic hexes with Discharge Enchantment to remove enchantments from their foes.
Skales[edit]The Krytan Bog Skales are one of the more stronger foes that can be encountered. They combine various hexes with conditions to take out their foes. They are often found in groups of 5-6. Bog Skales combine Barbed Signet with Oppressive Gave and Ulcerious Lungs together with Suffering to cause wide spread degeneration. They cast their skills on the center target be maximize the effects of their skills. Bog Skale Blighters are Discord Necromancers that spike the same target. They also posses multiple hexes and conditions and are ale to create and steal minions. There are usually 3 Bog Skale Blighters in a group. Bog Skale Icetooth are one of the few monsters in Kryta that posses more than one elite and are the strongest of the Bog Skales. They combine Toxic Chill with Icy Veins and Soul Barbs and are always the ones to call the target for the Bog Skale Blighters to spike. They can also remove multiple enchantments at once and return conditions but have limited self healing capabilities.
Plants[edit]Kryta being a tropical area also contains various ammounts of plants who are often encountered in few numbers but can prove difficult to take down. Ancient Oakhearts are plants at a very high level and posses 3 elites. With their Smiting Prayers they can deal a large ammount of damage. They also combine Quickening Zyphyr with Shield of Judgment and Aspect of Oak to protect themselves. They are always found alone but when aggrod 2 adtional Large Spined Aloes spawn with them. Large Spined Aloes are high level monks that are only found near Ancient Oakhearts and always spawn in numbers of 2. They focus in Divine Favor spells to heal their allies and posses 2 elites. They have Spellbreaker and combined with Quickening Zephyr and Blessed Aura they can maintain it making spells nearly useless against them. Their Spellbreaker combined with Shield of Judgment from the Ancient Oak they can counter both spells and attack effectively. With the Healing Powers the Large Spines Aloes offer they are foes difficult to take out. Oakhearts combine Splinter Shot and Ignite Arrows to deal AoE damage while using their traps to prevent foes close to them from doing any damage. Like all other trees of their kind they posses Quickening Zephyr and Aspect of Oak. They combine Quckening Zephyr with Lightning Reflexes to protect themselves and to place their traps safely. They can often be found in numbers of 1-3. Reed Stalkers are one of the more dangerous foes in Kryta. They combine Mind Wrack with powerful energy denial skills to take out their enemies. They usually come in numbers of 6-8 and can deal a large ammount of AoE damage with their combined Energy Surge. Spined Aloes are monks that support the local wildlife with healing. Offering healing as well as hex and condition removal skills, they use Healing touch to heal themselves. They do not spawn in numbers more than 2 and are not a serious threat on their own but make make a fight turn with their skills.
Imps[edit]Imps are one of the most dangerous of wildlife encountered in Kryta. They come in large numbers from 6-8 and can swiftly kill their enemies. Fire Imps start their attack with Mark of Rodgort and continue chaining Meteor followed by Searing Flames. They continue spamming Searing Flames untill they are required to cast a different spell. Inferno Imps also chain Meteor and combine it with Savannah Heat and Searing Heat. When 3 Savanah Heats or Searing Heats are being cast the other Inferno Imps continue with Fireball and Rodgort's Invocation.
Drakes[edit]Drakes are the strongest monsters found amongst the Krytan wildlife. With their Air Magic and high levels they can deal an incredible ammount of damage. Grand Drakes are by far the strongest creatures in Kryta possessing 4 elite skills and Strong Natural Resistance. They have a very high level and can inflict both the blind and dazed conditions as well knock down their targets. They are always found alone but other wildlife may wander nearby and can be aggroed sepperatly. Lightning Drakes are the weaker versions of the Grand Drake but dispite having a lower level they still deal an incredible ammount of damage and posses Natural Resistance. They come in numbers of 3-4 and usually spike a single target.
Cult of Verata[edit]Found only in Kessex Peak the Cult of Verata are strong foes. Altough their forces are not that diverse they make it up with their large numbers. Apprentice of Veratas are minion masters who have a minion bomber build. They can steal other minions with ease and heal themselves by sacrificing their minions. Due to the high ammount of Verata skills they have little self managment are fully depent on minions for their builds to work. Eyes of Verata are rangers who are the main damage scource. They can interrupt their foes as well can they deal a fairly large ammount of damage with Kindle Arrows. They can also remove enchantments and inflict cracked armor to meet the condition of Body Shot. They generally focus on the backline casters with their longbows. Sage of Verata are mesmers who interrupt the casters of the enemies and support their own casters with Weapon of Quickening and their martial allies with Sundering Weapon. They combine Overload with Shatter Delusions to deal damage. When present in the builds of their enemies they make Discord a priority interrupt for Complicate. Shephard of Verata are monk who use Divine Favor and Healing Prayers spells to heal their party and use Smiting Prayers to keep their allies clean from conditions and hexes. They can also resurrect their allies but they do not have a skill that can heal an allies target. Soul of Verata are spirits that use Death Magic to support their allies and Channeling Magic to deal damage to their foes. They posses Animate Undead wich allows them to summon 6 Minions of Verata to provide exploitable corpses. They can usually be found as a pair per group. Minions of Verata as mentioned above are summoned by Souls of Verata to provide exploitable corpses. Due to Frenzy and Undead Sensitivity to Light they are fragile but are still hard hitting enemies. They have a high chance to critical hit and inflict bleeding and deep wound whenever they do so. They are also able to hit 3 foes per hit and can snare and interrupt their foes. Altough they do not posses cracked armor for Distracting Strike's condition to trigger it is still easily inflicted by the other members of the Cult of Verata.
Undead[edit]The Undead are the ones with the most diversity but can generally be summed up into 3 catagories of strategy. First are the martial class monsters Executioners followed by Hellhounds and Necrid Horsemen. Using the buffs of the Necrid Horsemen the Executioners and the Hellhounds spike the foe closest to them. Second are the Bone Dragons who summon Dragon Spawns at their side, they are always found together with Necrid Horsemen. They specialise in interrupts and spike casters. Last is the main army who specialize in condition spreading. They come in large numbers with many different Undead present and are able to create powerful spikes and cause alot of pressure with their conditions. Noticeble is that almost none of them have Undead Sensitivity to Light. The Bone Dragons are the strongest of the undead. Instead of being rangers they are now powerful necromancers with a minion master build and have the same skills as Zoldark the Unholy. With their version of Animate Undead they summon Dragon Spawns. They are always found with Necrid Horsemen that buff the damage of the Dragon Spawns. Dragon Spawns are undead dragons who combine Quick Shot with Choking Gas to continuously interrupt their foes. They also posses Deafening Roar wich gives them even a greater chance to interrupt. They lack any self heal or defense wich makes them quite fragile. They do they deal much damage on their own but when their attacks are buffed by the skills of the Necrid Horsemen they become alot more dangerous. They are fleshy monsters and serve as exploitable corpses for the Bone Dragon. Executioners have become axe warriors who combine Stun on Critical Hit with Keen Chop to continuously knock down their target and it allows them to meet the requirments of Lacerating Chop and Rending Aura to inflict bleeding and remove enchantments. They are always found with 6 Hellhounds and one Necrid Horseman. They are not found together with other Executioners in the same group, they can be located near eachother. They have no real target preference. Hellhounds are always found together with Executioners and Necrid Horsemen. They are not that strong but with the large numbers they come by they can become dangerous, even more when they are buffed by the Necrid Horsemen. They often attack the same target as their handler. Necrid Horsemen are always found with other undead mobs acting as support. They focus on hexes and enchantments that increase the damage of the martial classes. Monsters who would normally not deal a large ammount of damage with it's attacks become alot more dangerous with a Necrid Horseman. Sometimes they are found alone but Grasping Ghouls will always be lurking underneath. They target the same foe their allies are attacking in a spike. Grasping Ghouls are always found hiding underground near the main forces. They have gained Long Claws and Sweeping Strikes allowing them to inflict bleeding and deep wound on critical hits and are now able to hit up to 3 foes at once. They combine their conditions with Reap Impurities to deal damage and with "Victory is Mine!" to heal themselves. They often spawn in large numbers exceeding. They attack the ones closest to them and tend not to attack the same target to pressure multiple enemies at once. Skeleton Rangers continuously spam Barrage to deal widespread damage. They combine it with "Go for the Eyes!" to buff themselves and their allies with critical hits, they also posses "Stand Your Ground!" to improve the defense of their allies. They focus damage on the enemy's backline. Skeleton Bowmasters are high level rangers who focus their attacks on single targets and increase the power of their attacks skills with their chants. Using the classic Burning Arrow-Apply Poison combo they can deal a large ammount of pressure damage. They collectively spike a target. Skeleton Mesmers use Fevered Dreams and Fragility to spread and punish conditions. Their main form of damage is Accumulated Pain and Wandering Eye but they still mainly serve a supportive role with their condition support skills and protection prayer skills. Skeleton Monks are the healers of the group. They posses strong direct healing skills and are able to swiftly resurrect their allies with Unyielding Aura. They also posses 2 weapon spells wich they primarity use on the rangers of their group to increase the damage they deal. Skeleton Sorcerers combine Earth Magic and Channeling Magic to take out their enemies. Starting by casting their spirits they attack the target being spiked by it's allies with it's spells and it's spirits. Zombie Warlocks combine Glyph of Immolation with Virulence and Vile Miasma to assist with the spike. They start their attack by casting Meteor Shower on the enemy's backline. When their enemies or allies have fallen Zombie Warlocks exploit their corpses to create Bone Minions to overwhelm their enemies it's minions. Smoke Phantoms are powerful elementalists that spawn together with Wraiths often near other undead mobs assisting them. They can deal a large ammount of damage to multiple enemies with Invoke Lightning and Chain Lightning and blind martial class enemies. Between the recharges of their spells they have Conjure Lightning to make strong attacks. They focus on frontline enemies. Wraiths spawn together with Smoke Phantoms near other undead mobs and focus on energy denial trough interrupts. They also offer a moderate form of healing and are able to resurrect their allies trough Restoration Magic. They have no offensive skills and the only form as damage they can deal depents on the elite skill they copy. Wraiths focus on disabling the enemy's casters.
White Mantle[edit]The White Mantle have builds from War in Kryta with some minor differences here and there. Why bother designing new builds when they already have good ones.
Other Wildlife[edit]The remaining wildlife of Kryta that inhabit the region. Gypsie Ettins are sturdy hammer warriors with high health. The damage they deal is limited but are able to knock down their enemies with ease and dispite being hammer warriors are quite resilient. They can be found in groups of 6-8 and can also often be found near other wildlife. They usually spike a single target. Hill Giants, inhabitants of Kessex Peak. They can knock down their enemies very easily due to Stun on Critical Hit and Critical Hit Probability. They combine their knock down skills with Crushing Blow and Renewing Smash to take out their enemies. Hill Giants are often found in groups of 3-4 together with other local wildlife. They have no real preference of who they attack. Fen Trolls posses 2 elites and both are capable of dazing their enemies. They also posses 2 interrupts making them fairly difficult to deal with. They are also able to inflict bleeding and poison with ease and can remove conditions from themselves with ease, however they lack defensive skills making them not very resilient. Their lack of defense they make up with the large numbers they are encountered in, often between 8-12. They prefer to attack casters. Forest Minotaurs also posses 2 elites and are able to knock down moving foes making them difficult to kite. They can deal a large ammount of damage and posses Berserk enabling them to inflict multiple conditions with ease. They patrol a very large area overlapping with other local wildlife. They usually spike a single target. Lynxes no longer come in 2 versions but have their builds merged into one build with a small alteration. They come in large numbers of 8-10 and replace the charmable Lynxes. Fog Nightmares pop up in numbers of 5-7 and use life stealing skills to take on their foes. They can keep enemy healers at bay with Mark of Subversion and spike a singe target. They can often be found nearby other local wildlife.

Maguuma Jungle[edit] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A hostile region populated by many dangerous creatures that can inflict conditions with ease. The local wildlife here is well adepted to the enviroment. Devourers[edit]Devourers pop up in large numbers of 6 or more. Using conditions and buffed physical attacks to take out their enemies, attacking multiple foes at once. Fevered Devourers use a combination of Blood Magic and Curses and can inflict many conditions with ease and cause a large AoE degeneration. Using Barbs and Mark of Pain on foes that are being attacked they can increase the damage of the Thorn Devourers and Thorn Devourer Drones. They posses Vocal Minority wich they cover with Suffering making them troublesome foes for those who rely on shouts and chants. Thorn Devourers snare their foes with Pin Down and combine Quick Shot with Choking Gas to disable their enemies. They also use nature rituals to weaken their enemies, enchantments in particular are not very effective. Combined with Vocal Minority and the large ammount of interrupts they make it diffcult for their enemies to defend themselves. They usually focus on the backline often on the ones that deal the most damage. Thorn Devourer Drones are at a lower level but are the ones who posses the most damage. They also posses Quick Shot and buff it with Glass Arrows. They also use nature rituals but unlike those of the Thorn Devourers they increase they buff the damage of the Devourers. Thorn Devourer Drones focus their attacks on the foes with the lowest ammount of health or defense to pressure the healers.
Maguuma Tribe[edit]The Maguume Tribe are some of the most dangerous foes that can be encountered due to their coördinated attacks and resilience. They posses many different enchantments for both offense and defence and their mobs of often large and diverse. Like the Shiverpeak Tribe they also use Winter to convert elemental damage into cold damage. Maguuma Avengers use Water Magic to snare and to take out their foes. Altough being elementalists their only AoE spell is Deep Freeze and they mostly deal damage to only one foe, however due to Mirror of Ice the damage they deal is large. Using Mantra of Frost they are resilient to elemental damage as long as Winter is active. They usually attack melee classes first. Maguuma Enchanters are mesmers who focus on disabling enemy casters and can support their allies with protective enchantments. Their main source of damage is Spiritual Pain and priorize spirits first. Maguuma Enchanters also posses Mantra of Frost to increase their defense. Maguuma Hunters are rangers who use spirits, using Binding Rituals to take out their enemies and Nature Rituals to support their allies. They do not posses any defensive skills but their ranger armor combined with Winter gives them strong defense against elemental damage. Trough Fertile Season and Winter they can greatly increase the maximum health of their allies. Maguuma Protectors focus on healing prayers and make good use of the high ammount of enchantments and health trough their allies posses. With the multiple enchantments their Dwayna's Kiss can heal for a very large ammount and with their large ammount of health Infuse Health can also heal for a very large ammount. They increase their healing with Unyielding Aura wich also gives them a hard res. Their main weakness is that they only have Healing Touch as self heal, however they also posses Mantra of Frost wich increases their defense. Maguuma Warlocks mostly fill a supportive roll. Using Tainted Flesh and Withering Aura to inflict conditions and returning conditions with the combination of Foul Feast and Plague Sending. They also have the ability to steal minions with Verata's Aura and can counter enemy enchantments with Well of Profane to prevent them from having benefit of Symbiosis. Like the other casters Maguuma Warlocks also posses Mantra of Frost. Maguuma Warriors come in both an axe version and a sword version, altough the only difference they have is that they posses different attack skills. Both of them can inflict conditions with ease and use Water Magic Enchantments to both increase they offense and defense. Maguuma Warriors also posses Trample to knock down their foes and focus on a single target for a spike.
Plants[edit]Plants can be found troughout all of the Maguuma Jungle and each region with it's own type of Plants. Entangling Roots are found in the lush green forst areas of the jungle. Like all other Oaks they combine Quickening Zephyr with Lightning Reflexes and Aspect of Oak for defense. Possesing traps to take out aprouching enemies their main form of damage comes from Melandru's Arrows combined with Focused Shot. They can always be found together with Life Pods and other hidden monsters. Life Pods can be found near other local wildlife offering support. Like all other Alloes it posseses the same set of offensive signets and can remove both conditions and hexes.
