In an idle moment, I was thinking about what are the biggest wimps monster-wise in GW. By this I mean those beasties that look mean, sound mean, but go down like prices at Xmas. My vote goes to....HM Onis

As far as I can see, they have all the requirements - they generally pop up out of nowhere, are lvl 30 and look quite threatening.

In reality, their actual function seems to be to die very quickly whilst making slightly sad noises. Every time a group pops, they seem to me to be saying "Oh noes" in a slightly Tellytubbyish way, as if they know what's about to happen. I almost feel sorry for them

Biggest Wimps, you say?

[sarcasm] I'd have to say the humans (player-character), in any PvP arena.

Terrorweb Dryders, and Abyssals IMO.

Abbadon. He's a freaking god who gets curbstomped like nothing and the best minions he can throw at you are slabs of rock.

Bridge Troll.

I'm not asking for Rotscale on a bridge or anything, but for being the only one in the game, at least make him more interesting than a regular troll from non-max areas in Prophecies.

I agree with the OP about Onis. I've always said they're nothing but minion fodder.

Another one that sticks out in my mind is the Ele boss in the Raisu Palace mission. - Dumbest. Dragon. Ever.

Shiro and Doppelganger. When a boss can be solo'd in less than a minute in HM, that should tell you something.

Surprised no one mentions Undead Prince Rurik.

His Tactics attribute is 0, and 2 out of 4 of his skills are Tactics... He appears to be more of a casualty caught in the fire while facing that dangerous group of Fire Imps surrounding him.

Not to mention he's first killed by a snowslide and then revived by the most pathetic end-game boss of the entire videogame history.

Poor guy.

Shiro.
What kind of end-game boss can be killed in less than 10 seconds?

And I don't mean having a special team set to kill him, just any team with at least 1 warrior. Storm of Swords celestial skill takes him down like nothing.

To be fair, any other boss in the game would die just as quickly if you could slot Storm of Swords.

To be fair if we faced him at full power we would have been the ones to get curb stomped and try /dance in front of him for lulz..

Margonites.

Each campaign has several stages of storyline enemies with a main antagonistic forces.
- Charr -> Stone summit -> Undead -> White Mantle -> Mursaat -> Titans
- Afflicted -> Afflicted -> Afflicted -> Even more frakking afflicted -> Shiro'ken.
- Corsair -> Kournan -> Margonites -> Torment creatures.

From all of those, the ones that are the easiest to beat in every single mission are margonites. They don't have too much HP, their armor levels are fairly low, their skills aren't that much of a trouble, just a bit annoying sometimes, their monster skills do not help them much...

They are all looks, and no real power.

ONI are definitely sad. I believe the intention was "Oh! ONI, now we are in trouble!" where in reality I'd rather be vanquishing an area with them because I can roll through.

Abbadon as well. Shouldn't he be like invincible or something? Or at least like something more godly? Ah.

Stonewolfs in Eotn that have the health of a level 10 monk and do no damage whatsoever

Zhu hanaku (Ty who mentioned this).

Shiro

Who is it, glint in that desert prophecies mission. First play through of it was too easy to believe.

I'm going to cast my vote for The Great Destroyer as well. This guy is supposed to be the end boss of the expansion you're supposed to do AFTER you do the other chapters.

But I can drop him with a couple of casts.

It kind of makes me chuckle - because I swear, my first time through, I spent HOURS trying to prepare myself, thinking I was going to wipe a dozen times before I could kill him. Nope - he died in seconds. I turned right around and tried it in HM - he wasn't any harder.

It was kind of a letdown, really... and I am most definitely NOT a player who can generally just "faceroll" their way through anything.

Most all of the giants seem to be wimpy. Be nice if monsters size had an actual effect on game. Like a lot of blunt damage for any toon in range of any giant swinging a staff.

Not so harmless when tard heroes decide to share the same 10 inch space and 2-3 wisps break off and go after them. I'm tired of casting UA all time, you're supposed to make me leech, not work!

So true. The sparks actually have a nice nuke, tiny little things can wipe you if your unprepared. The Titans, easy. Their best form is the pain Titan, which is still a faceroll.

The Great Destroyer is an anticlimactic encounter. Seriously, why did the entire dwarven race feel it was necessary to sacrifice themselves to defeat this burnt turkey?

The Lich.
His armor is non existent, and his attacks/spells do nothing.

Hell, even a frenzy mending healsig warrior would kill that one.
