Npc's are becoming "one trick ponies?'
Enchanted Warrior
All I see is Conjure Phantasm, and some type of evade, spammed over and over, or blind and imagined burden, etc.. It's getting kinda boring. I hope Nightfall is more diverse, otherwise it's gonna be just as boring.

When you say Npc's are you reffering primarily to the enemies or the hench?

A Gamespot preview said that Nightfall will feature bosses which can change profession.
That'll suffice.

And all the Mobs need is use of all 8 slots on their skill bar.
The truth itself

Alas, the Henches are perfectly spam-happy.
Alesia - Orison
Lina - Reversal of Fortune
Jamei/Sister Tai - Blessed Light/Jamei's Gaze
Mhenlo - orison/WoH
Danika - Blessed Light
Kai Ying - ward vs melee + stone daggers
warriors - attacks
rangers - attacks (dual/power shot)
necros - blood rit (even on warriors...)
Mesmers- distortion/empathy
That's because they are usually equipped with high recharges except for one or two skills.
Irony is that players copy henches (read Barragers that use nothing else = Aurora clone).

Barrage was goin on WAAAYYYY before Aurora. LMAO

Aurora uses favorable winds. And even if she didn't, I'd still take her over any mage hench using firestorm, or the archers with practiced stance as their elite.

Mobs that use a full 8 skills would definatly be interesting, I'd really like to see how that would work.

If you want to fight intelligent enemies, go play PvP. Most PvE really isn't very build-intensive on either side of the fight.

Sounds like Grind Fest to me, not interested.

Don't underestimate the henches. Try this: Go to Thunderhead keep and join the first pug you can. Play it through, I imagine you'll have about a 40% chance of finishing. Then, restart with an all hench team using all of them excluding one that matches your profession. Trust me, you'll be amazed.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's pretty tired of all the negative/whining threads by now.

They really need to make all skills available to all enemies in all the chapters. All they're doing is limiting there usefulness so badly.
Avicara Wise. Ineptitude, Phantom Pain, Fragility.
Mantis Dreamweaver. Crippling Anguish, Conjure Nightmare, Fragility, Accumulated Pain.
These 2 are practically the exact same. The only problem is they made Inep prophecies only and then made it so Mantis couldn't use it. If they had Ineptitude they would be ALOT more useful than with CA that serves no purpose in the build they have at all. Considering that Mantis Hunters have a crippling attack... they're really screwing up enemy builds now. Its the exact same with some of the NPCs... they might actually be more useful if they had access to all skills, its not like you can cap them...
I hope they give enemies in Nightfall access to all skills so we can actually see some interesting builds rather than sub-par versions of existing builds.

I'm still trying to figure out where the OP's coming from and what his post means.
...My best attempt at second-guessing him is that he's a warrior (or assassin) who is sick of encountering (a) degen that his armour can't reduce, and (b) evasive stances that keep him from doing his full damage. Warrior hate, in other words. I'm not sure what part of either game he's talking about specifically, though...

I want to see difficulty in pve be brought up.Preferbly to have level 20 Mobs that use two proffesions and have maxed attributes.The only monster I can remember that had two proffesions were Jungle Trolls.
