In freekin mobs of a billion every time I see them! No way around them! You have to go through a red blob on your compass that's bigger than the bloody image itself.
You can't outrun them (they're faster than you are), you can't overpower them (they outnumber you 10:1).
What the hell is up with this? They're not a natural barrier (like a mountain), they're an enemy! You shouldn't have to die 2387429834 times to get through the area they're occupying!
Scatter these stupid things! Have groups of 4, NOT 40!
Or at least LOWER THEIR LEVEL!

Yep, the tengu are IMO the hardest enemy groups in the game. They'd probably kick the snot out of mursaat and jades if they were infused. I'd suggest making friends with a protection monk or 3. Or 4 or 5. :-/

Tengu groups are all too efective, I hate then too ...
Also I feel they are too powerful for their listed level, I seen then having no problems in getting rid of the lv15 ettins and undead that enter their aggro circle.
I hate going to ascalon settement since the faster road leading to it appears to be guarded by a entire Tengu division,

If you thing the Tengu swarms are bad, wait until you see their Avicara cousins in Mineral Springs! The snow plains are literally filled with them. And if you aggro one, you aggro them all. It's no fun when you have five ranger type Avicara launching ignited dual shots at you.

I love tengu. Damn, if only they didn't have so many enchant breakers in them, i would get my revenge on them big time!
They are just how an enemy should be...very tough. I would like to see more of them. (IMO)

I had no trouble with tengu, now the Avicara are the worst. I was attempting to go to Camp Rankor. Right before the camp, there was around 20 Avicara of all types, and they were all around the Rez place. Attempting to run past them gets you into the Shadowy guys who are just as bad.

Sounds like a vicious build, Fungus! Please don't get on my opposing team in PvP.

Try FIGHTING them.
They are not terribly bright, and are easily manipulated into choke points.

If only ANet could reflect hench AI on Tengu AI, then you can breeze through the missions in a day (Henchies).

Every class has a opponent that is very difficult to beat; its the rock-paper-scissors model again.
Being a caster, I don't want to be anywhere within melee range of the more ferocious creatures - like avicara. That said, the trick is to discover your class weakness, and avoid it as best as possible.
You don't play the opponents game, you make him play yours.

Ha, i didnt really read much of the post, or the replies... but i gotta say...
.;'*';. I Love the tengu .;'*';.
I don't care if they're incredibly hard for my henchies (before this last patch... when they use to lure them all at one time, dont know if they still do that...)... it's hillarious how well these monsters are placed... destroying enchantments, murdering casters/healers... oh i love them...
(I didnt have a problem with them using my healer + healer henchy)
But... my ele at low lvl got murdered over and over... so much fun... i love those little guys. I want to grab one and give it a "noogy(sp)"...

A little bit of pacifism goes a long way too.

Well you know whats really a problem of a clumped groups, is the mobs outside or the copperhammer mines (i think its that town) infront of the necro boss with offering of blood. There is like 100 of them and when you get near one, they all attack you. It's just a huge mob of them and when you die and ressurect, you ressurect right near that big mob again. I was able to cap the skill by attacking the boss up on a cliff.
bigfatguy
i have the same problem!!!!!!! it's like a special occasion when i get through, i usually end up slowly dodging around the agro circle, getting seen by two and then being swamped by about 500000000000!!!!!! it's not right!!!!!!!
