Most Effective Monster
Redfeather1975
There are some afflicted groups in the undercity that make me bite my pillow like a rabid dog.

I'd say mursaat mesmer is one of the most annoying monster. power spike and energy surge >.<
I haven't been back to cap stuff in ice floe since nightfall though, not sure how much better heros can handle the mursaats

Mesmer in Need
The boss with shatterstone in explorable eternal grov did about 300 dmg to my necro allie, 170 to me, being a warrior.

Hmmm the monk boss that has healers boon took me a while, then i just took 2 wars, 2 dervish, and an enchant ripping necro (hero/hench) and pwned him.
Some ranger boss during a quest in the jade sea, i think you have to get his skull, can really own if your not prepared.

White Mantle Knights. Pound for pound, they've given me more grief at level sixteen than most monsters can at level twenty-eight.

You people seem to have some real problems with PvE. The only things from this whole thread that I can agree with are Avicara Fierce (Ignite up, Dual Shot in 3) and Mungri Magicbox, and even then he was simply a matter of taking out all the other groups in the area so that my henchies had enough time to beat down the unnamed Dredge Gardener and then him (I was monking).

1st. Shiro'ken Elementalist
2nd. Jade bro knights
3rd. Insects, They all annoy me - the Sound effects, the stupidly large amounts of rangers, the overuse of Posion
And the prizes for narrowest beam of annoyance - Dying nightmares

Caster bosses are easy to shut down. I remain puzzled by people who had trouble with Mursaat monk bosses, considering that all it took to beat them was Concussion Shot or Diversion.
Avicara Fierce are defeated by terrain and "Shields Up!". You'll still take some damage from their Ignites, but at least your henchies won't get spiked down by duals.
I liked the Afflicted and Jade Brotherhood simply because of the steep learning/difficulty curve they put on Factions. A lot of players got their faces raped off by these abnormally difficult enemies because they simply weren't prepared to face that kind of opposition so early in the game.

I personally hate those torment monsters, the one that uses deep freeze. a couple of em can rape my henchie team. Also, jade brother hood knights aren't that kind either.
Count to Potato
Exluding infused armor it has to be mursaat and jade, with infused armor its no doubt wurms (all types) they always go back down and i hate them for it
Domino
definitely Glint

Ettins >.> when your running to or from LA to beacons you gotta watch out for their body blocking.

When the Roaring Embers, Fire Dijinns and a couple Saphirre Dijinns get together, it's a 50/50 chance it's a 2 sec party wipe....with heroes at least.

To this day even with the best party builds I still run form these things.

Ever had a Echo-Shatter Hex mesmer in your party?
(oh, sorry forgot that, no one uses mesmers in PvE
)I still regard the lvl 20 Jade Brotherhood as the strongest monster teambuild. If they had been cranked up to lvl 28 in an elite area, they would have been pretty mean.

What about the Dredge hordes in urgoz, wave after wave, these guys can easily wipe any good team out

Most ele bosses do insane damage unless you have a Mesmer to stop them.

Mind Spectres in UW
Only mob that completely owned our 8 man party.
and OMFG, Ether-Breakers and Ice-Hands in FoW. They just piss me off. If you go for the icehands first, ether-breakers spike and interrupt the shiet out of you. If you go for the mesmers first, icehands cast deep freeze + Maelstrome and a whole bunch of other goodies!

Prophecies:
Ice Imps, they made me want to slit my wrists, summit giant herders are also nasty in packs.
Factions:
Dredges and the occasional Earth warden i failed to spot before launching an attack.
Nightfall:
Ruby Djinns would be first but theyre mostly alone and one Broad Head arrow away from useless. First place goes to the blade of corruption, Rain of terrors are only annoying when you don't bring interrupts.

Myself, I'm torn between the Ruby Djinn and the Jade Brotherhood Knight. The knight really has a lust for casters and unleashes devastating axe-based AoE. ...... |
It is a huge difference between a newbie lvl 20 player (without elite skills and who only partly have grasped many vital game concepts like pulling, interrupting etc) and a seasoned lvl 20 player who "has done it all".
The Jade Brotherhood teams is probably a big shock for a lot lvl 19 players coming straight from Shing Yea.
I shiver with the thought that I would have had to fight incoming groups of Jade Brothers at the final fight in Sanctum Keys.

"Zed" has been a family nickname for the males in my family for at least three generations. My great uncle, my father and his brother, and myself and my brothers (the yongest got dubbed "Little Zed".
I also used this in old Nintendo and arcade cames whenever I was asked for my name or initials. When I first went online in 1997 I added "The". I have been "The Zed" ever since.
All my other char are related to The Zed, slowly developing a family genology down the male line.
The Zed - Main character
Bobbie Zed - Wife of The Zed
Son of Zed - ...son of The Zed
Lily Zed - daughter of The Zed
Zed III - son of Son of Zed
ect.....
This also makes it easy for friends and guild-mates to know who I am when on one of my alt characters.

I definitely agree how ice imps and avicara are a pain in the ass.. those nightmarish times in mineral springs bring it all back.
But don't forget ancient skales, I know they are cheating with two elites. But -10 degen > me. They caused me so much deaths in FoW
