Talk:Frostmaw Spawn

I'm confused.. this page says they use necro skills, and I think I remember them using necro skills, but we got a ranger tome from them o.O The wurm did have a green aura, I can only asume that they're R/Ns, or there is 2 types of them, rangers and necros. — Skuld 08:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

A friend tried to cap FoC off of one and got nothing. No necro skills. --Valshia 18:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Ditto--*I* tried to cap FoC off of one and got no necro skills. Grr!

New theory: they're just rangers, R/X. Their use of FoC has nothing to do with their skill bar, hence the reason why it can't be capped. Someone screwed up :P Now we just need a ranger to see what ranger skills they can cap. — Skuld 17:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

if you go N/R u can still cap FoC... Trackr 02:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I just went in as R/N to see what I can cap from these things. All SoC was showing was Barrage, nothing else. -Taala 19:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC) Edit: Here's the screenshot of it: http://koti.phnet.fi/santamik/gw/frostspawnsoc.jpg

Wow, this is one crazy dude. Might be a super bug. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 00:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure they use Feast of Corruption and Suffering? I didn't see them use either of the skills when I did Frostmaw's Burrows last night, and I don't think I've ever seen them use any skill other than Wurm Bile. -- Gordon Ecker 04:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Hm, I just noticed that the pic actually shows a Frost Wurm using Feast of Corruption, not a Frostmaw Spawn. And we know that monster bosses can have completely different skills to their non-boss cousins. -- Hong 04:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

FrostMaw spawns use melee weapons, not bows, thats why the always pop up right next to their target instead of popping in a distance. That is my theiri. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:70.121.168.43 (talk).

By the way, Kim Chase has confirmed that they don't have any necromancer skills in this edit. -- Gordon Ecker 07:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Barrage

I would assume this boss never uses Barrage because... it does not have a bow? >_< --NIN37 00:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

The Doppleganger can use dual attacks with its Chaos Axe, so clearly that's no excuse. Vili 05:43, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but the Doppleganger is a unique foe in the whole game is more likely the exception, not the rule. Certain warrior enemies spawn with either axes or swords, but have skills for one. If they spawn with the wrong one - they appear to use no skills. The Sensali Cutters on Shing Jea come to mind, or the Hulking Stone Elementals in Ascalon that have Dwarven Battle Stance but do not interrupt because they have no hammer. I'm not sure if you'd call wrong equipment a bug though. Bathory 09:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

On the other hand you have Tundra Giants who throw rocks at you but use a "hammer." --Link4all 16:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Aura

Can it be assumed the reason frostmaw spawns have a necromancer aura is the same as the other worm boss (Earthshaker cap)? That one is N/W, as it has soul reaping. Maybe Frostmaw Spawns are N/R in the same aspect ~ Chao 14:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

...they're Rangers with Ranger auras. They just have a melee weapon. A F K When Needed 17:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Profession?

He seems like a necro, you can cap Barrage from him... and one dropped a Warrior Tome when I was doing the Zaishen Bounty. Worth adding? -77.166.63.187 19:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

They also drop Necromancer and Ranger tomes it seems. Did you take a screenshot by any chance? elix Omni 19:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the first time I hear about a single monster dropping multiple tome types. I also think a screenshot evidence would be nice in this case. ***EAGLEMUT*** TALK 00:21, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

See Stone Summit Engineer, there are 2 screenshots on its talk page that show it drops warrior and mesmer tomes. --Silver Edge 03:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
