If you had to pick a boss out of the game (any profession), and use his exact skill set (no PvE/monster only skills) for a scrim against another player, which boss would you pick?

The other player would also be using a boss's skill set but you wouldn't know which boss he was going to use.

I was going to say Rotscale, but then I remembered he's not a boss

In which case I choose...Maw the Mountain Heart - no explosive barrels in a scrim

Maw is the FoC Nec guy in proph, you don't need explosive barrels for him

Cyndr is the one in HoS dungeon but she's not a boss

I'd probs be this guy

I was thinking the lich because unless you kill him in the middle of the bloodstone he can't die, and being there are no bloodstones in any pvp map lich is unbeatable.

(1) This is more of a discussion than a Q&A topic.
(2) Mallyx uses Monster only skills so wouldnt be that good

(3) The Lich being killed in the middle is old and has been proven wrong :P

I would be Molotov Rocktail (I winz!!!)
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Molotov_Rocktail

Decent health, reduced damage because cant use siege but cant heal :P but owait, I'm a boss! I get regen.

Dude said skill set, not which monster overall. Saying "I'd be the Lich cause you couldn't kill me!!!1" doesn't answer the question. Saying you'd use the Lich's skills does.

Just sayin'.

Thanks guys, I'll check out the bosses you've mentioned

It's just that my guild is having a tournament where you have to pick a boss's skillset & scrim against people, and the person with the most wins in the end gets 300 lockpicks.

I'm gonna need to actually kill the other person so not sure that going as a monk will yield the best results.

The thread was misleading and answers were given out of a pure fun. Most said Willa because he's real hard to kill. Factoring out double damage, damage reduction, monster skills, and fast casting makes a big difference.

How? I said it was for a scrim against another player in the first post. That would mean that all boss atrributes don't apply. I also said his "SKILL SET", not his attributes such as double dmg etc.

Searing Flames. He's a sonofabitch in HM, at least if you're H.Hing.

I can see where you're coming from, but not sure if it'd work due to no [skill]fire attunement[/skill]. Glowing Gaze is energy management but may not be enough.

problem is that bosses have advantages that make them good with really bad skills

why not pick something less....broken - like henchmen? or storyline NPC's

oh and and for more annoyance than "wilma" (lol) go for Mungri Magicbox....dam him

If this is to fight someone else and Doppleganger doesn't work, try
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Murs...ist_%28Boss%29
or more powerful

Magicbox is tough because he's surrounded by Gardeners most of the time. Willa's alone, and easily the best monk boss in the game, and imo, way harder to kill than Magicbox.

Mr G I can't pick hench/storyline NPC's, it HAS to be bosses as it's part of a competition within my guild.

Anyway, why do people keep suggesting doppleganger? He doesn't have a set skillset, he just uses whatever you use

thats the point im trying to make - bosses skill sets don't work on humans as bosses use different rules

How does that explain why people keep suggesting to use doppleganger? Sorry I'm confused. I can't use doppleganger because he doesn't have a set skillset, he just uses whatever skills YOU use, so I don't understand why people keep suggesting him.
