All the core class 'constructs' spawn in Sun Jiang explorable, the ranger with equinox is in fact the first one you will encounter entering from the south. The assassin construct is near the Luxon side of Unwaking Waters, and the Ritualist on the Kurzick side near Unwaking waters.

Just a quick update:

Shatterstorm is from "Mina Shatter Storm" (not Miru) and she is always there. Her presence is not quest related. From the entrance to The Undercity from Wajjun Bazaar SE, immediately go right, then left, then keep going straight. Go across a bridge and down a dirt slope. She will always be right there with a mob near three dancing peasants.

Yes, eliteskill is found in Pongmei Valley. Exit Maatu Keep and walk left towards the assassin boss.

But now that I have all 180 elites I say this standing in my list:

Is this again a bug? I don't believe there are more elites than 180

Thanks everyone for the info and A.net for the fix.

Now that Xuekao has Assassins Promise, is Way of The Empty Palm only cappable from Lord Senki?

Melandru's Arrow is Chapter 1 only.

Thanks! Again, Signet of Judgement and Shield of Regeneration are available in Cantha. Shield of Judgement is not. It's a Chapter 1 -only skill.

Now, Ferocious Strike, anyone? Honnestly, I've fought my way all Cantha (I would have 100% of the map explored if tyrian chars were allowed to visit the whole Shing Jea Island) with my ranger, carrying a cap sig all the time. I've never found a boss with Fericious Strike. So unless he spawns randomly (which doesnt seem to be the case for canthan bosses) or is hidden in some challenge mission, I'd say the skill is not available in Cantha (provided ANET didn't change that with the last patches).

Some clarifications: before you finish the Sunjiang District mission, you will NOT be able to get to the section with the 6 core profession constructs even though you can enter the Sunjiang District explorable. You can enter the explorable from Zin Ku Corridor. Before finishing the Sunjiang District mission, you will be able to explore only about 60% of the explorable. After you finish the Sunjiang District mission, the map of the explorable area changes. You still enter from Zin Ku corridor, however, some of the previously closed portals and ramps become open and you can explore the rest of the area.

I think if you bring a long bow and enough ranged damage you might be able to kill and cap the Ele Elite Mirror of Ice

I think I capped that elite before I did the mission not sure anymore since it was a while ago.

If you are a Ranger and you want to cap Equinox, don't leave Zin Ku Corridor and plow into the backdoor of the Sinjiang District mission unless you want to clear the map like I did when I was looking for this cap. Thats fun, don't get me wrong but the Ranger Construct is way down south tucked in an out of the way place that can be accessed more easily if you go around the mission area and enter from the South.

Does anyone know if Way of the Empty Palm can be capped aside from that quest in Boras Seabed?

Having an elite available ONLY during a quest (non-reapeatable) is dumb.

Well, for rangers the most popular (canthan) elites are probably barrage, escape, spike trap and maybe the new broad head arrow (and Martyr - monk elite if you feel like trapping with IWAY or in the deep). Punishing shot and crippling shot are also a must have in PvP/GvG (they're core skills, ain't they? - EDIT: no they're not :S).

For monks: Word of healing and boon sig maybe - my favorite monk elites are in Prophecy - I deeply regret skills like SoJ or Peace and Harmony are not core skills.

I let other players more competent give you a hint about the other classes.

EDIT - oh and Ray of Judgement (not sure about the name - the smite skill that makes burn minions) for smiters is really funny against a MM in competitve missions.

The Dragons Lair is in the Crystal Desert (Prophecies)
You reach it once you have completed the 3 desert missions and have ascended as a Tyrain. I havent sent a Canthan there yet though.

I have removed the link to my skills checksheet. I'm in the process of trying to uploade the newest version but I'm fighting the filefront site because it insists on shutting down whenever I try to submit. Hopefully, I'll get around this soon and post the new link for the enhanced version of this product.
