After spending probably too much time trying to get battle rage in every way imaginable I succeeded in getting it off Smukk Foombool. I will be posting an unedited screenshot in a minute.
Battle Rage
It may sound strange, but the only way my group was able to trigger him to use battle rage was getting him to 25% hp, then dropping mass items on the ground and picking them up. Either this is a very strange bug, or one helluva dumb way to capture an elite skill. I highly suggest bringing a monk with heal area to heal him if you do not capture the first time his life goes below 25%, he only uses it once each time then you must heal him and repeat.
I figured i should post this even against others wishes because no one should have to go through this kind of hell trying to get a very necessary skill for certain builds. Enjoy.
Elite skills locations !

Hehehe the great thing is though that when we get these last 2 skills we can lord it over everyone else 
Gonna do a run for battle rage again in a day or 2 with my guild, have a couple ideas that I want to try out, if it works I'll try and give a step by step analysis of how I did it. I figure it's there, and that it shouldn't really be too hard to get, gonna do the whole disruptive chop again and probably try that on the custodian. I think I'll be able to get it once my guild finally gets up to snake dance, I hate going with henches, but will report back, wish me luck

Does anyone have rhyme or reason as to how they got BR yet?

Ok, I can confirm that the item drop technique does in fact work for capturing Battle Rage off Smukk. I thought it was the stupidest idea ever, but I've tried everything else, so I gave it a shot.
We had 5 W/Mo, one N/W, one Mo/W. We got him low on health, aimed for under 25%. We then tried some ideas the other guys had, involving interupting his attacks under 25%. Then I suggest the item drop idea, and began dropping trash, and picking it back up (10-12 trash items).
I just kept picking them up and dropping, eventually he for some reason used it. I do not know if it was because of the item dropping or what, but I finally have it captured.

I too have captured Battle Rage using the item drop method as well. I did notice that the more items you have the better chance you have of him using the skill. Bring a full first bag of junk at the least. Have the dropper self heal and drop all items. Then while keeping himself alive start picking them all up. He seems to use it close to or right after you pick up last item.
Once hes used it, comepletely back off of him and let him go back to start point. Switch places and have the guy that just got it be the dropper. He does need to be around 25% health as well.
Happy capping.
This begs the question, what will Dellus use if we do the item drop method on him? Warriors Endurance?

Can someone who has gotten obsidian flesh from the human boss in perdition rock explain to me how to track him down? From the map, it looks like he walks in a giant circle around the right side of the map? Does he spawn every time?
Seyda
Just got Battle Rage with the (I thought it was total BS) item drop method. After that I went to Dellus and stood there dropping and picking up items while hitting SOC, couldn;t trigger anything.
RoxorMcownage
It does infact work....thats retarded that dropping items makes battle rage work. I think I hate arena net.
super dooper
lol, he gets mad when you drop items on his turf, eh? That's one more off list.. Thanks to the (no joke), genius, who came up with that.
Xennon
Someone needs to go to Talus Chute and try this stuff out on Krogg Smush (the warrior troll there). He appears at the same places as WHuup Burmbull (in the cave directly left of the zone).
Unrealer
Although many ppl say that you can get restore condition from "Spindle Agonyvein - Abaddon's Mouth - Spider" i went to him, cast tons of condictions such as blind, crippled, and he never used the elite.
Muke
Unrealer he does have it. You have to put the conditions on his allies. Also, it's an extremely fast spell so you should have someone else doing it while you have him targeted ready to capture.
I forgot about that other troll in Talus. Gonna need to check him out.

I got a mail from a guy saying he got Battle Rage from Krogg Smush (the troll in Talus Chute) and that he got it quite easily. He reckons the Snake Dance guy is bugged cause he's managed it pretty easily off this guy :-/
We need some people without BR to go testing :-)

For those of you trying to get Battle Rage, I got it first try while helping my girlfriend get escape from the troll caves just outside the Forge. The boss (Shmuch something, not Wubbledum or whatever) warrior has the skill and uses it very frequently. Beats making a run out to Snake Dance, and I've confirmed it twice already. He appears or the ranger boss, so if you see the ranger and search the 3 cave entrances, then reload the zone and try again. I've emailed the guy who has the Elite Skill listing with map up there, use the Ranger skill map for Escape to know the locations. Hope it helps you guys!

i bet i spammed siged that mob boss 1000+ times but i got it, <VBG>
Raumoheru
yes i finaly got Battle Rage also. he did not actualy use the skill i just hit Signet of Capture right after i picked up my last item i droped.
RepinsMirg
I just got it from Krogg Smush after three hours. But the thing is I think it is truly bugged because I remember reading about the people dropping there items and after picking up the last one they just get the skill without him using it. Well after getting frustrated I just tried that for the hell of it and low and behold the second after I pick up my last item and click signet I start the capture it suprised the shit out of me.

[QUOTE=Last Gasp]Nature Dragon in the dragon mission is bugging me. It should, and probalby does have an elite skill, we just have to figure out how to trigger it, or maybe submit some type of bug report.
Looking at the list of elite skills, only the following do not seem to require a bow:
...
Muddy Terrain - Trumped by pin down, especially since he won't chase anybody more than a few feet, much less an entire group.

muddy terrain is not an elite skill, i can buy it.

The nature dragon has melandrus resilience. just make him suffer under as many conditions and hexes as possible, then use your SoC. You wont see him using the skill because its a stance.
And i also can confirm that Smuuk Woomboogwhatever has battlerage and that the item drop thingy works!!

my group did it like this
northwest there is cave with the yellow troll near droknar's forge
first we killed off all henchmen and things besides the boss(our henchmen too)
then we kept troll near 25% hp
one person drops and picks like crazy until others cap it
then they drop while i cap it

Okay, I think it's safe to say the trolls have battle rage. Let's get out there and find warrior's endurance eh?
If both the trolls had battle rage I'm willing to bet both custodian's down in the desert have warrior's endurance. Custodian Dellus in elona reach and Custodian Janus (right?) in thirsty river. I've already tried draining Dellus's mana with a mesmer so we can try that some more or think of other ways to get them to use it.
I'll say this though, Janus uses thrill of victory (dellus might use it too, can't remember) which requires that he have more health than you. So if you get him below half and stay healthy he shouldn't be using that ability anymore. I believe they both use endure pain and something else, I can't remember. So you can prevent him from using one of his abilities easily. Endure has a decent cooldown, so after he uses that it's gone for a while. If you can disrupt his last attack with disrupting chop at that point he should use warrior's endurance because he has nothing left to use. If the above steps are met and he doesn't use it, it's bug hunting time.

multifate
muke i've tried your way using disrupting chop on the pinesol countless times he never does defy pain
RepinsMirg
I have come to the conclusion that this games monsters are really stupid sometimes. Like the custodian guys they use thrill of victory still when im near full hp and they are almost dead kind of seems wierd to me.
EDIT: Both time that I got him to use Defy Pain I did so much damage to him so fast that he used Healing Signet first which I distrupted chopped (the first time by accident) and right after that he uses defy pain. Just make sure you hurt him so fast he doesnt have time to hammer bash you and have to heal him self.

Hit menu goto Customize then goto edit interface it lets you move everything around.
Muke
Multifate, repinsmirg is right about the damage. If you just have warriors beating on him you'll need to disrupt as much as possible.
The first guys to get it I assume had some heavy hitting mages with them and thats why he used it for them. If you take large amounts of damage very quickly your adrenaline bar will fill up quick.
If you can't find enough damage dealers to get the job done and you're stuck with just warriors make sure he's above 75% health. I found that I needed to disrupt his first hammer bash when the fight first started for him to use it. I would say to run away and start over if you miss the disrupt. Hope that helps.

Where is crippling shot, I have looked everywhere and cannot find it.

Custodians Dellus, Fidius, Hulgar (Forgotten Enchanted Bosses) - Warriors Endurance
Crippling Shot -- Melandru's Cursed (Golem Boss)
Punishing Shot -- Thul Boulderrain (Giant Boss)
Thank Tala who came up with the information from the prime E-guide. It should all still be accurate because they keep the e-guides up to date.

Hmm, I've tried to cap it drom Hulgar and Dellus before...they didn't use it. Is there something we need to do? Did they patch them recently and now they actually use them?
RepinsMirg
Might be bugged like Battle Rage and we have to do some wacky thing to make them use it. I was up there earlier trying to get it but didn't have the two skills they used so made it even harder. Trying to get 3 more skill points so I can head up there but that is about 80k in exp.
Kamel Toe
RepinsMurg Please where are those bosses for crippling and punishing located....? you listed them with no areas.
XeNoGeArZ
hey its been said many times, but ill confirm it again. dropping/picking up items does work for battle rage. if you just stand there waiting for him to cast it, he never will (we waited eons for him to bring it) also, it doesn't show up on the bar under his name. only way is to spam it, or look for a cloud surrounding him. its an awesome skill
Tala
Kemel, I looked through the book that Rep and I got the info from, and couldn't find a listing of what area those bosses are in.
Sorry. Hopefully someone will have seen them somewhere and will post that information here.

I don't know if it will help but I've got a spreadsheet which has a large proportion of the elite skills plus their stats, locations and the bosses that have them. Only problem is that all details were taken from the various sites online (gwonline, guru etc) and so I haven't had a chance to verify them all myself. Plus it could be laid out a bit better.
Still it might help someone if they need all the information to hand. Oh and the ranger doesn't have any locations on there yet. I ran out of time as I've been writing it for my own personal use whilst at work (ony in the quiet moments).
If it helps the thread you can contact me on hol_cmeast (at) hotmail (dot) com. Or of course just on here

Victory is Mine! (Witman's Folly:Sakalo Yawpyawl[Grawl] -> not anymore ?)
Its still there on Sakalo it took me over 40 enters/exits to witmans to find him, he have it, and he use it (about 5 days work) but he definetly still has it, I'm sorry I don't have a Screenshot, but I was so freaking happy I FINNALLY got it. I had to change my pants.
A tip to getting it, 4 henchmen, fighter,brawler ,healer,protector, kill his spellcasters, and leave 3-4 of the Hammer wielding Grawls alive, he only has one status condition attack (belly smash) but since bellysmash and his knockdown are both adrenaline attacks, he doesn't use them in succession, so I got it when one of the Grawls knocked down Thom, he used belly smash to AoE blind us, then he used ViM to gain life energy, he did this a few times, as I kept getting interupted on the capture. but on the 3rd time, I got it.

Anyone who can confirm actually getting these? Ive been trying all Day and cant get any of the ranger ones... never seen em cast.
Kamel Toe
well i'm out here in perdition rock now. Melandru's Cursed has popped as the first golem boss at the beginning of the zone. easy to get to. right now it's just me, the boss, and Mhenlo. so far the only skills i've seen is barbed trap, apply poison, and troll ungeunt. haven't seen him use any ranged attack period... so i'm not too sure about him using crippling. i find it hard to believe.
i have tried kiting him around. and in a second here i'm gonna do the item dropping technique.
so yeah that didn't work out.
2nd time out. i brought pin down and distracting shot this time. still no crippling from this guy. i used pin down and ran. got nothing. i got him extremely low life by using distracting shot against his troll unguent. still nothing. after about a 30 minute fight i just ended it.
My Conclusion after two 30min battles is he doesn't have it.
