I've decided to give him a go and kick his fat fanny in HM(need to get Legendary Master of the North).I've read he's a tough nut to crack and his buddies ain't jus a few jungle thugs

Thus I'd like to ask You guys(yes,YOU!) to post your tactics against this fat sonuva...

I'm thinkin bout constant blind like Signet Of Midnight but do bosses in GWEN have 50% faster condition expiration rate or sumthin?Ineptitude might also work but takin a mesmer to Sparkfly might not be a good idea coz the area's filled with raptors and other nasty stuff :/
So,like,what did ya guys do to make him a ground-hugger?

Blind, Weakness, and Cracked Armor. Air elem is your best friend. Give that Elem a Mez secondary and pack Epidemic to deal with his friends too. He only has one skill (iirc) that ignores Blind, and that is Twisting Jaws. Various hexes can work too (Blurred Vision, Reckless Haste, etc.). Lastly, a target other than your team helps. Minions, Vanguard Assassin, and Asuran Summons can fill that nicely.

when I see ground-hugger I think about a Thumper (!) but then knowing he cannot be knocked down... I'd take your own adive and blind him, or a ward ele. Never tried him in HM but since he's all melee I'd say wards/blinding, and... only a small input, but Aegis can be useful too... GL!

Blind + Weakness. Lots of Aegis & Ward Against Melee for protection in your party as well.

You can solo him with a ele with silver armour.

I forgot bout Epidemic-might work like a charm since he always has his buddies to over up.
Still nobody said if Mobrin has a 50% shorter condition duration on him.If he does not have it then id give him Blinding Surge

I had this happen to me last night. I was vanquising the area and he and 2 raptors and a tyranasaur were the only ones left. Me 43%dp the rest 60%.
I just pulled him away from the group and hit him with pain inverter. Then run back till he breaks agro. He will hit enough of the party running back to the spot he comes from to kill him in about 5 cycles of pain inverter and then running away. GOOD LUCK.

between the dinosaurs and the raptors, an SS'er with Reckless Haste was my key to vanquishing that area. An ele warder (Herta) is the final nail.

Hes easy to kill. Any kind of armor ignoring damage and he goes down fast. Smite skills rock his world.

Hmm,pretty interesting hints I gotta say

Dudes on wiki say Mobrin is the hardest dude in the game,except Molotov Rocktail,but hey!He's not the only one in this map and You gotta think of a versatile build that can finish off raptors as well.

I was thinkin bout minion bombs or explosive growth rits-Mi bet Mobrin eats all minions with 1 bite and if at least hal of em would have Death Nova it would hurt the big guy
