you made it 10x harder on yourself since those titans are spawning due to the quest you took from glint

really? forgot I had that quest actually. usually pick them up in bulk and leave them there forever till I feel like trying some. with no titans I may just go back! I have had very good luck with random spawns. I think there was maybe only 1 time when a random styel boss hasn't' spawned for me.

YOU'RE HOPELESS!! but somehow I feel like helping anyway.
If you can't get the elites, a cheap way would be to run zaishen elite with a trapper build and pick up your 6k needed for unlocking skills to that area. If you're capturing to gain for yourself instead of heroes, best of luck to ya.

At least half the Prophecies spawns who REFUSE to spawn where you want them. Especially when they're the only bosses with that skill. (RC, I hate you. I had to cap you because my monk was my first character; did you have to make it so dratted annoying?!)
I actually like the Mineral Springs spawns compared to most of the other Proph ones. They're definitely going to turn up. Getting there is annoying, but 1. The main run factor is getting to Granite Citadel. Once you've got there, Tasca's Demise isn't really all that hard to run through. 2. they're guaranteed to spawn. Which is more than you can say for at least half the South Shiverpeak bosses. Or the ROF bosses. (Spindle Agonyvein, I'm still looking at you.)

shield of deflection (mo)....gale never spawns for me in the first spot, and my 2nd monk never got to the other side of the island past all the imps...grrrr. So she STILL has one lone signet of capture waiting to cap that one....for 2 years now.
yeah the ring of fire mission ones are the worst because of the 'lack' of spawning of the bosses. (perdition rock has some nasty ones too, and now that you can only bring 3 caps at one time---cap wisely!! my poor e/me had to cap 2ce since there are 6 possible caps there...3 me and 3 ele...ugh)...its lots easier now that some have been moved up to 'core' status, but still.

I captured Ineptitude in EotN, right outside Tarnished Haven. Gotta take full advantage of elites in EotN.
Some elites that I had to resort to using faction/tomes:
-Thunderclap, or anything else from the Mursaat bosses, since they never seemed to spawn for me
-Feast of Corruption, didn't feel like making the long hike
-Xinrae's Weapon, though I later found out how easy it was to cap
At least in Mineral Springs, all six bosses are guaranteed to spawn, just not in the same spot. Also gives you some Avicara Scalps to sell this week.
Abaddon's Mouth had some annoying elites. But I still got them all to spawn.
Hell's Precipice wasn't so bad. They all spawned for me.

Yes it is annoying, or challenging depending how you look at it.
I liked the random spawns of some prophesies bosses, pve is predictable enough and was pretty disapointed when the random spawns didnt carry on into later games.
Hoping for much greater variation in GW2

Fevered Dreams/Restore Condition since the only place to get those is from dryder bosses in Abaddon's Mouth. They are way on the other side of the map from the start point, so you gotta fight your way there (at least twice, unless you happen to be a monk or mesmer and you get really lucky), wading through lava, fighting through meteor shower and mursaat (better hope you're infused), and then, of course, the boss you need might not even spawn! Happened to me three times for RC, but I did get FD on the first try - still, that's 4 trips through that crap... not fun.
Those were definitely the most aggravating. I honestly enjoyed getting Feast of Corruption since I just made it part of the 'droks run' vanquish. Mineral Springs caps were a little monotonous, but otherwise not too bad. Outside of Prophecies, I don't recall any cap being any problem at all. I got proph out of the way first and the rest was smooth sailing.

Punishing shot was my hardest cap, and this was back in the day when prophecies was all there was and Punishing shot was meta, so I needed it if I wanted to GvG with my PvE main char ( see avatar ). It just had to be in the middle of that huge run...

I wasted the most time on Oath Shot. Neither of those idiot bosses wanted to spawn, I wasted at least 2 hours before finally running into one of the bosses.

Pre-Nightfall, the most irritating elite cap for me was "Ride The Lightning" in the explorable Unwaking Waters, with the boss being at the other end of the said area Kunvie Firewing. Armed with an army henchies.. it was..suicide. And time consuming. I believe back then.. there was no option to flag henchmen etc so follow you they did into the jaws of annihilation.

I didn't really have any problem with Mineral springs actually, but I do remember Ring of Fire and Snake Dance, especially the latter.

Fevered dreams I think was the hardest its miles to get it and I think you had to kill a level 29 monk boss on the way.
I did it back when there were none of these fancy "heroes" so it might be easier now.

Set yourself a time limit that would be the maximum amount of time spent to cap one skill. Then estimate whether X skill is within that timeframe before you cap it, if not move onto the next skill.
That would probably count most of the Ring Of Fire out. Along with Mineral Springs and Snakes Dance.

Mineral Springs and Perdition Rock were very very annoying.
Factions and Nightfall are quite easy compared to Prophecies.
Feast of Corruption was funny

Any elite skills that can only be capped in the last three Prophecies missions, from a Mursaat/Jade/Titan boss that may or may not spawn, if you forgot to bring a cap sig, they'll spawn.

I cap the ones in places my character has been. But, for example, my mesmer hasn't even gotten to Vabbi in Nightfall. Therefore, if I want a late-NF mesmer elite, I'll use a tome rather than a cap.

The hardest (and most annoying) are the elite skills in proph and the ones in the Realm of Torment. Proph elites usually require the boss you want to spawn and they usually have 4 spawn locations. Sometimes the boss you want doesn't even spawn!
Realm of Torment is just party-wipe area and the environmental effects are annoying.
Cap core skills in Factions, Nightfall or EotN and attempt to avoid capping in proph if you prefer to keep you're sanity
