Perhaps a mesmer boss? Going on the theory that most of your competitors will choose a high damage Elementalist skillset, find something that will shut them down.

I'd prolly go with the Soul form as that seems to be more appropiate for a 1v1.

I'd go with Undead Prince Rurik for laughs. That probably wouldn't suit anyone competing for 300 lockpicks, though...

OT and to be serious, I think Arcane Ancient Phi would be fun to use.

Frostmaw, Remnant of Anquities and Rotscale aren't bosses but they'll be part of the mob next to the monk boss Willa the Unpleasent


Try dealing with Wurmbile, Diamondshard Mist, Deafening Roar, and boss healing

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.
I wonder who you are :P
As do I. Well you all know me and i'm not telling you my choice... But I'll be sure to beat you all!

Willa's nice, but you'd just bore your 1 vs 1 opponent to death.

I'd choose Chung the Attuned...

I still have nightmares about going solo against him. His Lightning Hammer/Orb combo is just plain sick.

I'd probably go with Willa the Unpleasant stalemate my opponent into submission!

though if monster skills are apart of the mix I'd just take any of the regular torment demons (nothing to stop me using call to the torment early and often)

Edit: Actually screw that other stuff I'd take Glint's skillbar in a second

400HP Dark damage hits are enough to end any scrimmage as fast as possible.

Well, it's a bit of a bummer the contest has been comprimised by this post. Half the "battle" was to see what our alliance folk came up with, but now many will probably be using this thread for ideas. Oh well.

I think everyone who would compete in the contest would first remember their own difficult boss fights, then look on wiki or someplace for bosses that carry powerful skills. Asking for other opinions here doesn't "compromise" the contest at all, I think.

With that said, PLEASE keep a log of all the matches and let us know how it all plays out.

Great idea!

Well, it should be especially fun because we're a PvE alliance.

- very much my style: one only fights him while confronting a much bigger threat: Shiro (which is why few people even know this guy - low priority target )
- egh, self heal. And a now-kinda-crap Elite. But his chain is very decent!

First things first,

CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!

And now to hype up the event like they do before a pay per view wrestling match.

Sad to see that someone had to resort to asking for help on which boss to choose for this comp. I spent an hour or more going through the bosses on Wiki and thinking of the counters etc.. till I decided on who to choose.

There is a cheap way to win, but I hope no one uses it because that would be poor form.

I with you Cj3m!

It would have been my first choice too - it has 12 in *every* attribute. You normally beat it by taking advantage of it's idiotic AI - I won't have that horrid AI and can normally take advantage of its high over all attribute line. Dopple against most bosses is going to be a dopple's win. Outside of that I find Borrguus Blisterbark to be a close second - close enough I'm not sure who would win.

If you mean a normal character level and a normal attribute spread that is much harder. I'm not motivated enough to see who has the least broken skill bar out there. Bosses are supposed to be beaten so they have either a broken AI or broken skill bar. They tend to get their power through being level 28 with half skill recharge and double damage (other than the dopple in prophecies no boss is worrisome as they don't have a great AI or the half/double thing going on). If you just are choosing their profession and skill bar this is mostly a boring question as I would say "none - they all suck".

Doesn't really work for a Scrim though what with the two elites and all. I suppose you could cheat and run N/Me with Mimicry for it =P.

On second thought (and no one's really gone this way yet):

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stsou_Swiftscale

Automagic +30 armor against the big-hitter Eles you'll see, Troll Unguent is a good self heal, Dazed against casters and Blocking against Melee. Good overall choice.

Actually, the three people who actually read more than the title of the thread before posting, understand that the OP is involved in an alliance contest. The contestants will choose a boss, equip what skills can actually be equipped, and fight other contestants doing the same.

Seeing as how Mallyx and Abbadon use no skills a player could equip, they'd be pretty awful choices.
