As necro Vow is annoying, actually any caster class is sort of screwed with those guys.

What i hate the most, Angorodons in eye of the nerf, they are just blood sucking losers with a short temper, combined with a pack of raptors they can make short work of your party.

I guess the monster I hate fighting the most would be Dervishes. Dervish monsters are capable of tremendous damage, or can condition spread to the max. They generally irritate the hell outta me. One Dervish in particular gets on my nerves, and that is the Enchanted Scythes. They are Relentless.

id have to say eles in general in Hard mode .... their aoe effects are pretty unfair if u have more than 2-3 heroes in your party. A few eles in a large group results too often in party wipes.

And then there are boss eles that AOE for 300-400+ damage

I don't really know which I despise the most..

Elementalists can deal ridiculous damage to me, which causes me to hate fighting them, but love finishing them off.

Warrior can be just as annoying if I can't deal much damage to it. So, I hate fighting them probably just as much. However, when I kill them I don't feel as good to get rid of them. This is because I can leave them alone, kill off the other classes, and then finally deal with the warriors. They don't cause as much damage to me.

So I'm going to say I hate fighting elementalists most....I guess

I can't judge Paragon or Dervish, though. I never played Nightfall much.

Ritualist, by far. Not only are they durable as hell, some of their Channeling spells (especially on a boss) are just plain insane.

Ah like those in The tombs of the primeval kings, kinda annoying, but still just a wurm nonetheless.

and those in the desolation/desert are a joke as well, the only one that can give a party a hard time is cyndr..

Water elementalists.
Fire eles aren't too bad, because their main skills are usually interruptable but the Hero AI likes to clump together and spells like Deep Freeze and Ice Spikes are annoying.

Earth Ele, specially in HM. I absolutely hate Ceratadons.

Ferothax's in HM. Not only massive damage Dervishes, but also twisting jaws. The person who thought those up really must have been having a grumpy day.

Because I'm trying to get my hands on the Mesmer's Construct unique (which by the way I'm now 0 for 55 on attempts, but that's completely off-topic), when I run into them the Shiro'ken Elementalists are enemies I shiver at seeing due to Sliver Armor.

Although now that I think about it, they drove me nuts in Raisu as well.

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.
I would have to agree with this one right here. VoS (and the like - SB etc) suck. It seems more and more monsters are using the 'Can't Cast on them' skills to their line up of skills. Really annoying not being able to help your team.

I do the same thing.. just keep trying till it wears off and hopefully get it in there before it is cast again.

Hmm...well when I first saw this I thought you meant what race, and in that case I was going to say the Charr. They're so annoying, especially in GWEN using meteor shower and trying to kill mobs for Legendary Defender of Ascalon. About to give up on that title (must resist!)

Otherwise, I hate the mesmers while farming Sunspear and Lightbringer points in hard mode because of their interrupts. And during AB (even though that's not PVE, but it's similar because it's Kurzick and Luxon which is part of PVE) sins always pwn me so they get annoying too. hehe

Oh, and the Kournan rangers are annoying for melee fighting because they use Whirling Defense all the time and block everything. And elementalist bosses can be very painful at times...especially those earth ele dinosaurs in GWEN.

I hated fighting Monk boss who is in a mob with monks the most.

For normal groups, Ice Imps. They are the bane to Alessia/Mhenlo/Lina.

I've yet to find any player or any party that sees a group of Wind Riders and doesn't groan a bit.

The only thing more anoying for my War is the Skeleton Sorcerers in Hard Mode that blind me then run like scared rabits into every mob on the map.

I'd have to say a toss up between assasins and rangers when I'm playing my warrior, ranger or paragon because those little @%@#$@# always using Whirling Defense or whatever blocking stance and they can be so damn hard to hit and kill. Grrrrrr. Yes I know I can always take something like Wild Blow or something of that sort, but still...

Also, another annoying monster to fight is when you come across a group of ice imps. They are nasty little suckers if not careful.

Let's see ... I hate pop-up monsters of any kind and size because they interfere with tactical planning ... I hate with passion 'hit and run' pop-up monsters like some wurms and incubi that unlurk in the middle of your party, cause KD and AoE damage, then immediately lurk again to safety, and keep pestering you until finally ganked
