Indeed, Cerris one was devious. Mob around mesmer boss with tons of small patrols, hard reses and npc ally that made it impossible to pull.

Actually hard hard mode!

Yes it was rougher I actually had to leave when I was close to Cerris because the heroes I was using weren't cutting it.

You think thats bad...I had a chest block the the npc ally got stuck and became minion fodder which made thing's super hard because I couldn't rez the part because they wouldn't leave and their minion army was growing.

Because you hardly have to kill any mobs to do that one.

Yeah cerris herself wasn't anything hard, the mobs before her are fun. I was running around in nebo because I could not find her at first and noticed lots of more bosses. Fun

Do the bosses disappear the next day or do they stay there? I've been noticing that some of these bosses are offering excellent opportunities for elite skill caps which are normally very cumbersome (notably Earthshaker and Aura of the Lich).

Exactly. I stopped doing the bounties, between accepting and turning in the quest, they are pointless. Doing an escort in 10 minutes is just as rewarding, if not more, and MUCH easier and more fun.

Too much aggro drift on a lot of the boss bounties. It's more fun not managing that bullshit.

Not when those questions are meant to insult someone else's opinion. If you don't like something, move on.

I don't really get these '+1 for HM' bounties. I can do them on normal by just moving my party in the general direction of the boss. HM, though still pretty easy, at least takes some effort. So why would I be doing them in HM again?

It was not easy.
That thing had 5 healers around.
3 monks and 2 ritualists.
I had to pin them together and use Panic. It was hard as hell.

I did three bounties in a row, two previous 4 war supplies ones, and this 15 war supplies one... didn't notice any difference, spam spirits, wait till heroes kill everything while renewing any destroyed spirits... HM shouldn't be you drinking coffee while your heroes do all the work... but it is

Edit: Every profession (every single one) can spirit spam effectively, even in HM... warriors and paragons are slightly handicapped by needing to allot a single skill slot to energy management, but it's hardly an issue when you're letting your heroes do all the work.

I think enemies around the boss are just random...only one healer and no resses on my enemies..they were finished off before I could even notice it, and usually I a have a lot of trouble...I was hoping in the power of Koro Sagewind but she died as soon as the battle started

Now let's see Cerris...I remember you can pull around her but that was without allies...
EDIT: ok as I thought with these stupid allies you can't really pull...too strong
