Pretty self-explanatory


I gotta say, the hardest that I've fought is Mallyx. They really thought out Mallyx when they were creating Citadel. Your stuck in that extremely small area with this H U G E monkey, and he's extremely smart and can spike anyone with one hit. Plus, he tele's yourr healers and such out of reach!

You can't even run for him because if your moving you take 10dmg a second! Theres specific BUILDS made just to kill him because they made him so hard, the spirits NEED to come down or you have no hope. And even with that, soon as someone dies you gotta get them up in 3seconds before he spikes another peep down.

Pre-searing is harder than the End-game factions shiro... no joke. SV+Wild Blow=7second clear.

All of them (except Mallyx, perhaps) are pathetic if you have a cookie cutter group.

But why did you put the end-game bosses? They aren't elite.

If you do Mallyx Ursan Way he isnt that hard, he's done in a few seconds, accually none of them are hard, the boss that has HB he is hard.

Urgoz.

Most annoying to kill with relation to time needed to get to it.

As for Mallyx, meet Ursan.

Cause end-game wouldn't fit, and there not all technically end-game.

Just a reminder, this is ONLY for elite area bosses and the end-game peeps. Don't say "d00d ayye thunk ta7 dug h4rd357 15 ummmmmmm Dabina Deathbringer11!!1!"

Urgoz is actually incredibly difficult, however he is regarded as a pushover because of poor game design that allows you to kill him with EoE and zero effort. If a change was made so that EoE no longer worked to kill Urgoz, he would instantly become a very daunting boss indeed.

Lich, Shiro, Abbadon, and Great D are most definately end-game bosses. I don't know how you can misinterpret that.

Probably none of them, it's all down to using the right 'trick' to kill them be it recall warriors with Kannaxi, EoE with Urgoz or Ursan with Mallyx. Mallyx took longer to suss because for months people used the door trick and it was bugged for several weeks.

I remember killing Urgoz way before EoE was the way to do it, also back when the serpents healed him(very very early on) and one had to shutdown a serpent while the rest of the killed the other one, fun times..

Urgoz is by far the hardest of them all. Even though he is really not hard if you do it right.

Lich: This isn't even comparable to the harder bosses. The only way he even has a leg up is the fact that you have to kill him 3 times.

Shiro: Meet body-blocking and Celestial Skill spam. Dead Shiro.

Abbadon: Doable with H&H. Again, not even worth mentioning.

Great Destroyer: Are you kidding? People can run him in HM for like 2k. Again, he's weak.

Mallyx: Again, Ursan and love it.

Urgoz: No thank you.

Urgoz is fun purely for the EoE trick. It's a pain in the total butt to get to him, but once you do having the Speedway Derby around him is rather enjoyable.

Mallyx, I've never gotten to. I suppose I should one of these days start working on DoA (and no, I will NEVER NEVER EVER use Ursanway, k thx I like intelligent builds).

Since not running an incredible build that assures victory and wealth is intelligent.

All of them are easy, I wouldn't be able to choose a hardest one.

So you think running around taking barely any damage is harder then actually fighting a boss? :\

Some people like playing builds that require you to know how to play the game, unlike ursan. Besides, ursan isn't all that great.

Urgoz is easy. And it doesn't take much to get to him anyway, even in HM you can kill him in like hour and a half.
Kanaxai. Dunno, prolly the same, never played Deep much.
Shiro, Lich, Abbadon, Destroyer - lolwut?
Mallyx. Never, ever tryed him. Prolly easy nowdays.
My vote goes for this bad boy

So The trick with the door before was better? At least with Ursan you're actually doing something to kill him. How was the door trick intelligent? All you did was stand in a straight line, one person dies, and like 2 people SoS'd the heck out of him. If you ask me, Ursan IS intelligent compared to that...

I'm sorry, but who said anything about the door trick?

Watch the video. My guild running a balanced build without the door trick defeating mallyx. If you ask me, that IS more intelligent then ursan. Then again, intelligent and ursan are 2 words that don't belong together.

Unfortunately, SMS is one of the only truly good PvE guilds out there that knows what they're doing. Most self-proclaimed "high end PvE guilds" are nothing but idiots who mash buttons with ursan or title farmers that can only copy and run easy gimmicks that are specific to a special region.

Which is why you have a bunch of r4-5 KoaBDs and/or ursans running around thinking they're good, but they're not.

And it was quite a please to play with some of the SMS guys in DoA the other day. Was much more fun running a balanced type build than the standard noob pug ursan-monk.

lets remember at your time glint > lich

at your time kamaxi > shiro > urgoz > glint > lich

at your time mallyx > kanaxi > mallyx sub bosses > shiro > urgoz > glint > lich

and today mallyx > kanaxi > mallyx sub bosses > great patetic destroyer > shiro urgoz > glint > lich

I don't know why this is even up for debate, as they are all the same difficulty. All it takes to defeat any of these bosses is a set of skills designed to counter what they use, and since you have 8-12 people to do it, it's not hard to figure something out. When you use a counter to something, it's going to be easy, naturally. Counterting one thing isn't any harder than countering another.

But surely the counters for one boss are not necessarily as fool-proof, or the boss himself as forgiving of errors, as another. Otherwise, you might as well declare every enemy in PvE exactly the same difficulty, because they can all be defeated by some build.

Sadly i haven't fought any of the "elite" bosses, but going from threads i've read, i'd have to vote Mallyx.

I was amazingly shocked when i fought the Lich (proph was the last campaign for me to complete).. how pathetic was he?!

I felt the same way when I did the proph campaign for the first time... After reading countless profiles on guildwiki about how hard THK and ring of fire was etc etc I was like: ... -.-

Actually I got bored of THK and went afk for 5 hours while my henchies did all the work lol I forgot about it and went to the cinema xD

That was the hardest boss I've ever fought, without pain inverter it's near to impossible (with h/h atleast). All the end-game bosses are easy... The hardest of them was Abbadon (Shiro dies within 15-30 seconds and the Lich was the easiest boss in Hell's Precipice).

Urgoz without EOE being as dumb as it is. Good luck beating him unless you have a smart team. But I guess Anet dont mind having broken mechanics...

Urgoz with no EoE is fantastic. you need to kite, cast, and be situtationally aware(so as not to pop up stuff your team mates will walk into) for ages.

I do wish Anet would change it back to the serpents healing him and EoE not working. Some of the Urgoz kills I did when it was like this were superb fun, esp pre reconnects when 2 or 3 Err 7's per run were guaranteed.

And make Urgoz only available for Guild, Alliance and Friend groups? A PuG would stand no chance, and there are still people pugging this mission.

considering the skills they use, mallyx is definately the most overpowered one


I always smile when I see what people in pve guilds say, they shouldn't forget that they're part of a small community

yes, anybody smart enough to run a basic build with 7 decent players can kill any of those bosses easily, they hit hard, they use lame skills, but they're just dumb AI

you should try to pug one time with a parangon for doa quest, I'd like to see if you manage to find a decent group in less than a week

ursanway is godmode, but you need godmode to beat mallyx with a pug, most people in ursanway don't even understand why they should not wand the monkey, use ursan roar or protective spirit... and most of the time you can't avoid them, because if you're waiting to find a good balanced group you'll spend one week spamming local chan

there's a difference between guilds that kill kanaxai in 26 minutes and people who don't even understand they shouldn't wand onis

Yeah, Urgoz without the EoE trick is fun, just like mallyx without the door trick is fun, and duncan without the stairs trick is fun. I honestly think ANet should fix these exploits. But ANet are busy with GW2, so I don't see these exploits being fixed any time soon.

Hence the name elite area. An elite area should be, y'know, elite. Exploitable boss =/= elite.

LOL, I remember the first time I went up against Urgoz, I was on a real good PUG and all of a sudden they jsut told me to RUN.. I thought they were kidding me, I was like "No way we kill a boss in such a stupid way", as you all know, I was proved wrong :S

I don't really think using "Save Yourselves!" is much more commendable than Ursan. Anyone who's played it will know you have to be mentally deficient to die with that build.

As for hard bosses... I guess the Factions ones are the closest to being hard.

SY is +100 armor for 8 adrenaline, can be kept up indefinitely. Ursan is +xxx health, +xx armor, has a ranged attack that can deal 80-150 damage with a recharge of 3 seconds, and a pbaoe knockdown that can deal 60-135 damage with a recharge of 10 seconds. Pretty hard to not be able to keep this up with a zealous weapon. Much more commendable if you ask me.

Even with SY, you need skilled players to clear the elite areas. With ursan, the only skilled person you need is a monk. Everyone else just has to spam 1 and sometimes 2 to win. You don't even need the other skills.

If you had said 46 minutes I would read this post as tho it was written by someone who knows what they are talking about.

Poor attempts to troll by bashing the 'tiny' pve-players or whatever that backwards comment was supposed to mean.

Yes, Mallyx is agreeably the most powerful 'elite boss' (why the OP thinks that the great destroyer should be included is beyond me)


And just for the record, IF YOU PUG THESE, with a 'balanced' team.... your best bet would be to bring a paragon. Ive started using my Paragon to tank in Duncan's level just recently.... Cant Touch This+Any Other Skills > OB warrior, gg. I barely even use my other characters anymore.... Paragon is simply the best, ursan or not.
