It's become increasingly apparent that the latest update has removed all elites from before the Crystal Desert. I wouldn't go looking for any in an area before then anymore.

Shield of Judgement - You can get it at the Glint Mission (Dragon's Lair). I think it's the first or second "dragon" that has it. I got this not really trying.

The Charr boss mentioned to have Hundred Blades DOES in fact have the skill; i can confirm this because I caught it for my own warrior. While I do not remember his name, I can give you a very good description of where he will spawn:

When you enter The Breach from Gate Gaurd Hollis's location (he's in Old Ascalon, NW of the area) Run down the first set of stairs until you get some friendly gaurds. Then, run NE to a bridge. The bridge should cross over the tar pit. The boss will be immediately in front of you. He used it multiple times for me, so I caught it rather easily (however, you need to be quick on the draw - he'll use other skills quickly after!). If you can't find him, re-enter the breach from the way you came.

EDIT: ok did 2 runs, and it does in fact cast an elite skill, even a shield, just the wrong one "Shield of Regeneration" not shield of judgement... good skill tho... but grr... not the one I want... anyone?

Esnhal Hardwood -Frozen Forest Pinesol

There seems to be other pinesol bosses in the center of map that need to be checked

there seems to be two sets of bosses the stone summit bosses which shares the elite skill set of the normal creatures and pinesol which have unique skills


the Ele is already listed under ward agaisnt harm but saw a ranger there and probabaly has one for every class

also in spearhead peak theres a warrior boss im guessing has some kind of stance
Hail Blackice Warrior icegolem can be found near rune Ethercrash mesmer boss any warriors want to check out what he has?

Unconfirmed suspect Maligo Libens -Necro -Titan- Hells Precipce -has aura of the Lich

I too am looking very hard for that skill. I made it all the way to the zone before Mineral Springs, so I shall let you know soon. I would try going in and out of that zone until the boss closest to the zone enterance is a Monk. At least that's what I plan on doing. I'll let you know how it goes when I get time to play. Can anyone confirm Shield of Judgement?

Shield of Judgement definitely comes off of the monk boss mob in Mineral Springs. From what I could tell it only spawns 5/6 possible bosses for the map. I found all but the monk one on my first run. The second run he was the closest from the zone line.

Grenth's balance is also obtainable from the boss mob that you face when doing hero's challenge. I defenitely saw it and had it from him.

Also Virulence doesn't seem to come from the mosk rottail (sp?) in bloodstone fern. I've tried inflicting myself with a condition, ie. bleeding and he still did not use the skill.

They nerfed Muga Riptide (He no longer uses it) with the latest patch, now they've made it so you have to devote days into this game to get to a mission that has a freakin elite skill.

It's already hard enough to get an elite skill, but common, this was supposed to be the skill I could use all the way to denravi, or maybe even the desert! Now I'm just another monk with no elite skill using Orison of Healing & Healing Breeze...

Very fusterating that they made all the elites near impossible to get, and now they moved the real basic and not-too-useful ones to these enemies way way later to the game.

EDIT - I also went to Nebo Terrace for Yerk Plopsquirt. I found him pretty quickly, and yet again he refused to use it. I see that Arenanet just makes everyone want to suffer to get their PvP build correct.

EDIT 2 - And yes they screwed up Hundred Blades at the Breach. I can't comment about that without repeating my fusteration written above.

There is a second breeze keeper (monk) boss in the ring of fire mission that I have seen use Healing Hands...though it casts it very rarely (and most teams kill it quickly, grrrr). Also the Mursaat Elementalist boss that appears at the gatekeep uses Thunderclap.

I believe I found Life Barrier off a mob in an explorable area, though I'm not 100% and don't wan't to send people on a sild goose chase. If he does have it, I'll get a pic of him using and the map like I did for Hundred Blades (Page 2).

Ahh I see... it's just a chance to spawn that particular boss... that would explain it's elusiveness... plus the area is extremely hard! think I'll give that walking in and out a shot as well... Thanks

Getting elite skills isn't really that hard. I have 19 of them now. Admittadly you can't get them early on in the game, but the idea is that people who donate a bit of time to their characters will get the better stuff.

You can get through to the ice missions in 2 days if you really wanted too. So its not like it takes absolutly ages.

If ur having trouble, use my list at http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/ for maps of where to find the bosses.

Illusionary Weaponry (TALUS CHUTE:<SEER WINDLASH>[<SHADOW BOSS>])--If you have made it to FT. Rankor you can find Seer Windlash just south of that town. He is in a group of Azure Shadows. He also casts Clumsiness.

I really appregiate this great helpful topic. While reading and experimenting on learning bosses skills, I couldn`t remember where to get the empty skills.
So I found a guy called Don Berlzibar who showed me the guy in Lions Arch to get them.

Lion's Arch, across the skill trainer (Firstwatch Sergio), Magi Malaquire
cost: 1 skill point, 185 gold

now i want my elite ranger skill ...

Firstly, this isnt a thread for you to ibtch on. Its a thread to help people find the elites they need.

Secondly, I didn't have an elite skill on my warrior until perdition rock. You'll survive.

I found Aura of the Liche. Check my list at http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/

Warriors do have them, however they are often stances, or instant use skills that DON'T Show up on their 'casting' thing. You just have to spam ur signet of capture and see what it says ur capping, if its not elite, cancel the cap and try again. They do have elites tho.

I know all about stances still certin conditions need to be met before some bosses use their elite on the life barrier boss if you agro him its very unlikley you would see him use life barrier.

I would bet good money that Custodian dellus at elona reach has either Defy pain or Battle rage

Still waiting for someone to check on Ranger and warrior Pinesoul in Frozen forest they must have one of the missing ones.

Marksman's Wager can also be gotten from Custodian Kora in the Dunes of Despair mission.
I got it from him when he popped up as the first boss outside the temple area.

heres a map
and all the info you ever need to know about caping skills in Frozen Forest




S are where the stone Summit Bosses spawn
P are where the pinesoul bosses spawn

Usually 2 pinesouls spawn in 2 of the 3 p spots

if you stand at the spot marked with X you can see what the third pinesoul is without walking over there

Stone Summit Bosses are

Barl Stormseige-Mesmer-Crippling Anguish
Borreal Kubeclaw- Ele -Water Trident
Mesqul Ironhealer -Monk -Mark of Protection
Jollen Steelblight -Necro - Offering of Blood
Linka Goldensteel -Warrior -Cleave
Resnar Mountainsight- Ranger- Melandru's Arrows

Easiest way to cap these is to run in and out of copperhammer and go to closest s spot

Pinesoul Bosses are
Mesmer -not known to even exisit never seen him myself
Obrhit Barkwood- Warrior- Never saw him use skill
Arknel Havenwood- Ele - Ward against Harm
Esnhal Hardwood- Monk- Life Barrier-
Afrhul Deeproot- Ranger - Unknown
Unthub Rotwood- Necro- Virulance

and for completeness sake if your doing the attribute quest you can also cap grenth's balance

Escape - Talus Chute - Whuup Buumbuul ?

Tried multiple runs today with henchmen parties, and with real people parties. no matter how fast or how slow we kill him, even if i'm spamming f-8 to use signet capture, i can't seem to get this skill. maybe i need to try more? is it rare? or can anybody else confirm this? maybe they have changed it.


EDIT: bah ok i tried again today fresh start of tries. i got it. this time instead of trying to wait or kill him slowly or anything. i just took a party of henches, got close enough for all him and his other guys to agro, and i just stood there and kept pressing SoC. he used it at about 80-85% hit points. i got it.
