You aren't going to get it for quite some time if you are at the temple of ages.

Shrapnel_Magnet, check the other thread discussion, you can get it from the warrior troll in troll caves (Shmuch something) outside Forge. Check Xennon's map for the Ranger ESCAPE skill to know the location, ranger or warrior boss spawns there, and its a lot easier to get Battle Rage from him.

I only have one elite skill so far: hundred blades. I got it easily from a Char boss just crossing the bridge on the breach, west of ascalon city.... I don't see that location listed on the http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/

Just my 2 cents.

I guess maybe the skill was removed from that location after one of the updates??? Just guessing.

Now with the new update it should be easier to get elites right?

Warriors Endurance, Defy Pain, Battle Rage, Punishing Shot and Crippling Shot are all now easier to capture. These were the only effected skills. Its been confirmed that they are all pretty easy to capture now. All other skills are relativly easy to capture already, so basically that is every elite found and happy :-)

Defy Pain still took quite a bit of trouble. When I killed him about 2x with henchies, he still didn't use Defy Pain.

Finally got into a PUG and then all of a sudden, was capturing Defy Pain. A few PCs at that point were dead due to the Ice Imps...

Since the update, can anyone tell me if Mineral Springs is easier to work through for soc runs? I find this area particularly tedious to a) get to; b) clear out; c) cap skills from. A standard soc run here is well over 1 hour in my experience (and the one time I did do it, the Elem boss was nowhere to be found).

I need Glyph of Energy and Shield of Judgement from here.

Don't think they changed anything here, as it's not mentioned in the patch changes.

Krogg Shmush uses the skill even at 75% Health. I found that you don't need to drop stuff and keep picking them up while spamming your soc. You just keep spamming. I spammed so quick that I on accidently cancelled my capturing and did that about 3 times before capturing. I even captured this skill just by using henchies, all I brought with me is Alesia, Lina and Little Thorn.

with the new soc update, simply kill the monster who has the skill you want. Move your character near to where his corpse is, or if he doesnt have a corpse, where he died, and activate your SoC. the bar will be empty dont worry, then a menu pops up with a list of all of the dead bosses skills. select which one you want to capture and you have your elite! this makes it very nice and easy to get all the skills you need.

As mineral springs goes, the easiest way to do it i have found is to take two death necros with you. Having two people constantly using verata's sacrifice leads to a ridiculous amount of bone fiends, and when their death magic is lvl 16, you walk through the place. Obviously, this may not be viable for people who aren't in a guild so just try to get a PUG or friends who know what they are doing. I find at this point in the game, Death necros get pretty powerful against all these avicara/stone summit/ hydra gits. :P have fun.

wtf this new system comes in as soon as i had spent all my time getting all my elites (getting some drove me to beat the crap outta my monitor) it just pisses me off how they did this. it seems that the players that have been playing from the start are getting screwed over big time...

Anything with 'unconfirmed' after it is something that I have not confirmed/mapped with my own eyes.

You can get to the list at http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/

Hope this helps u out :-)
Hey Xennon, this list is great! I have one suggestiont hough..

It would be really nice if under each skill name you have the short description of what the skill does. With that this would be a single spot to see both the skill locations and capabilities. I know the list would get bigger, but I think it would be a small price to pay.

LOL, oh well...your other characters will benefit. I too spent quite a bit of time capturing all the warrior elites using the old method.

Maybe, maybe not. Skill description also includes energy cost, adrenaline cost, recharge time etc etc etc. The list might get too big...

the new patch screwed a buncha stuff up. The ring of fire is totally different now. Trying to get ether prodigy and incinderiary arrows is harder than you can imagine now. Who knows what else.

Haven't yet got a mesmer or ranger to that stage. Why is it harder? I read about problems with cut-scenes preventing skill capture since you have to wait for the boss to die...

Really, they should have just enabled capturing skills both ways.

I too find myself having to look up the skill description, so what about making it so that clicking the name of the skill links to the GWGuru description of it? Unless of course GWG don't like you doing that ...

agreed.

Further more, a few BUGS on the list:
mesmer - energy drain - gambol headrainer: links to picture of place of Skitt Skizzle. please link right one up.

monk - healing hands: the boss is an ettin, but you link to a pic that states hydra. and i can't find the boss ettin that uses it there, so my guess is that this one is also wrong linked.

Hahaha! What a comment! So the game was WORSE when we started playing and it should STILL be bad so that everybody can suffer as much as we did? I finished the Galrath Quest the day before the update and got 500xp - how do ya like that?

"When I used to play GW it crashed all the time - now they fixed it! I don't like that! The game should still crash so that everybody gets the same feeling as I did." See an analogy here? ;-)

They aren't bugs.

Gambol spawns in the same place as Skitt Skizzle, so I used same map.

Ettin spawns same places as the hydras, so again, used the same map. When I update I check everything. There are NO bugs with the maps :-) They all hold correct information.

hmmm ok...

then i guess i'm terribly unlucky to try getting healing hands, and even after about ...8 times i think never found the ettin boss but always the hydra?

Yep. Sometimes he just loves to not spawn. Unless it got changed in the most recent patch (which seems unlikly) he spawns there.

Yes they are fixing it. Anet knows about it...and they have so far acted pretty quickly to fix problems with the game.

Riine Windrot and Bolis Hillshaker are definatley both in Thunderhead keep and definatley both have those skills. Riine has 2 locations i know for sure (not seen him in Bolis's third yet) and Bolis has 3. I know because Riine spent about 2 days straight a few weeks ago pissing my necro off due to not using it quickly enough before being killed (finally got it tho) and Bolis has been annoying my W/Mo all this morning with an annoying ability to not die


Heres a quick red X map of both

I can't seem to find the Vulg Painbrain (Spike Trap) any more =/

Can someone confirm whether or not it is still in the Ring of Fire?
