*spoilers*

In Depths of Madness in the area where you find shiro and the lich there is a boss called topo the protector. There seems to be unlimited graven monoliths but I haven't been able to fully test it. Could be useful for farming points

.
*P.S. the boss also resurrected himself*

He doesn't resurect himself. He runs after a while and come back with full health if you don't kill him fast enough. Whenever he does that, monolites appear. But whe you really kill him, that's over.

I actually killed him since I got a morale boost, then he just popped up again =/
I think that mob just comes back alive for some reason.
Hmm... maybe the monoliths just switched to monk and back really fast, when I checked their classes when he popped up they were using either dervish or mesmer skills.

There's no way they can switch classes. You sure they didn't just use a res sig? Some stuff has it.

I thought monoliths had a skill that allowed them to change into another class, but it takes a few seconds to cast so by then they are normally dead, and you dont spot it.

I often let them survive long enough to watch them transform just because it's cool. Mesmer and Dervish are what I see them switch back and forth from most frequently.

It seems that most gravens don't start with a class, and then they change based on what the makeup of your party is. In the group I farm Margonites with, they almost always turn into Mesmers, and sometimes Dervishes, but in other player/hero groups they almost always go into other classes.

I've only seen Monoliths turn Paragon, Mesmer, and Dervish.

Mesmers 80% of the time for me, and Dervish the rest. Never seen them turn into Paragons..

The paragon's try to morph, but they always die before I can tell what they changed into to. Mesmer/Dervish, I'd assume the Paragon is paired with something else.

They change into Dervish, Mesmer and Paragon and seem to go for Mesmer more when fighting warriors. Hence the Crippling and Clumsiness. I've seen them change into all forms though, well those 3. Mesmers are just annoying and Anet tries to make use of that. I don't know why.
