In PVE what monster class do you hate fighting the most? Which class do you despise?

The Assassin that shadow steps out of nowhere and spikes?

The Monk that just wonk die?

The Warrior that gets you stuck leaving you no where to kite or cripples you constantly?

The Elementalist that hits you with deep freeze or meteor shower?

The Ritualist with the healing spike at there disposal or damage?

The Paragon with the constant thumping on you?

The Ranger hitting you with conditions constantly?

The Mesmer that interrupts slows and hits you with constant degeneration?

The Dervish that can hit with tremendous damage?

The Necromancer that hexes’ the heck out of you or steals your minions?

Personally the Mesmer is the class that peeves me off the most always stopping that key spell. Hitting me with Cry of Frustration.

I play mostly with my Necromancer, and all Dervish mobs using Vow of Silence really piss me off.

They hit like trucks in hard mode. I could enfeeble them, but ... VoS. I could put SS on them, Reckless Haste... I could put Barbs or Mark of Pain on them.

Actually, the only thing I can do is to wand them to death and pray the physical attackers can deal with them without support. Sometimes pressing the button till VoS wears off works, but these mobs are still the most annoying in all of GW.

Closely followed by the neverending stream of touchers in Duncan's dungeon.

Elementalists, Rits and Dervish 'cause they're so powerful in HM.

Anything in GWEN since I usually play my warrior and 90% of the mobs, it seems, have some sort of blinding skill.

Mindblade Specter, since they keep respawning and are boring to fight.

kournans. i hate them with a fiery passion. mostly cause i had a lot of trouble vanquishing turai's procession with the paras constantly taking dazed off the monks >_<
and yes the mantids respawning is really annoying. i always bring an mm now and let the minions have at them while we scamper off.

when I there was only Prophesies I hated ice imps with a vengeance.. I found they had funny patrols and their skill bar really used to mess me (as a monk) up with just henchies in tow.
Maelstrom ..hated it and Im sure they used to chuckle.

When I got heroes I specifically went out and wiped them out in the southern shiverpeaks ..

Monk bossess, always take forever to kill. especially when they've got a regular monk in their group too.

I have distinct memories of a 10+ minute fight against that dredge one in ferndale. It's enough the group has a super-powered monk why must they have a 2nd backup monk too?!?

As a caster I'd have to agree that dervish mobs with VoS are the worst closely followed by inturupt mesmers.

Before this morning, I'd have said Elementalists, just because they spam AoE and make me have to strafe every now and then. However, after having the great pleasure of facing a spawn of three Lifeweavers in Heart of the Shiverpeaks (Hard Mode) earlier with my fancy pants team of physical attackers (3 Paragons, a Dervish, 2 Rangers, and 2 Monks, for anyone interested), I'm going to have to go with Monks.

Note to self: stick to Necromancer heroes with Rend Enchantments.

For me it def has to be those White Mantle Mesmers. They have Shame or Guilt or both not sure and doing THK on HM had me low on energy nearly the whole time >.<
And like already mentioned Wurms -_-

Not a class, but a group I hate most is the Mandragors in GW:EN. Mesmer with Fragility and Fevered Dreams, Necro with Enfeebling Blood and Virulence, Dervish with Aura of Thorns and Wounding Strike, and Ranger with traps and Toxicity. Mass conditions, and they hit the whole party fast. Not to mention they all shadow step and knock you down.

Makes RC useful at least.

Any group that has been copy and pasted from a group I just fought. Why would I want to fight the same thing over and over.

Jotuns: Vision of Regret was a nasty touch.

Undead: Fastcasting blinders? Shards of Orr. Such a happy place.

Desert Wurms don't bother me that much, even in HM. I always have trouble with the densely packed wurms in parts of Frostmaw's though. Perpetual group-wide knockdowns ftl

Forest Wardens (hard mode)...

Let's see - churning earth eles (which minions and h/h absolutely love) and the rit healer/spikers. Oh - and the nasty mesmers and kd warriors and rangers with brambles/constant degen. All in one mob. Gotta love it

Anything that has WOH now.

Reason? I accidentally overaggroed in fow(actually the pets did that), and viola, 7 shadow monks staring at me with their newly buffed WOH.

well I'm going to be a bit vague since I'm at work and too lazy to look up/confirm proper AI monster types/names but I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about.

Prophicies - Desert area - Nec class w/ Vamp Touch (Scarabs i believe) - just couldn't stand their look and sound the made - drove me batty

NightFall - Realm of Torment - Dervish class - Titan - similar to above, just annoying as heck for their sounds and can be a pain in the butt to squish too.

EoTN - Centaurs w/ Trample (regardless of class)/ Spiders - w/ Snaring web (regardless of class) - both of these monster skills are frustrating at best.

I was going to say Titans, since agroing one large one usually means that you're stuck fighting him and his spawns for a good bit of time, but instead I'm going to go with those Wurms in the Desolation. They're nothing but an annoyance that have an impossible amount of armor against your wurm attacks and can actually kill you in your wurm, primarily because their constant popping up prevents you from using your only heal. It's a complete waste of time that adds nothing productive or interesting to the experience.

any monster that use [skill]Twisting Jaws[/skill]. As warrior I sometimes wonder why I died so fast. This skill is really annoying aspecially when they spike you!

About most hated profession I would say water elementalists, in particular Ice Imps! My caster heroes will be useless when Deep Freezed and Maelstromed!
