Well, ROF is anoying but usually you can get two elites per profession at once, which in the end saves some time.
Add exploration, mission bonuses and some opened chests on the way and its actually ok spent time. Multitasking, FTW.

Funny thing is, it's a shit skill, and it's hard to cap. So you've done all the 'hard' work for nothing really :P

QFT. I hate capping RC because the boss requires you to do almost half a mission and doesn't always spawn. Last time i capped it it took an hour to spawn.

Some people want to get Legendary Skill Hunter, and can't be bothered unlocking it via PvP.

Proph elites are definately annoying. I remember that when I was getting Offering of Blood, I decided that the quickest way to get it was to do that start of Thunderhead Keep until the Necro boss spawned. Seeing as I'll see 2 bosses in 5 mins, I figure it won't take too long. I end up wasting over an hour and took about 14 runs untill he spawned.
About Xinrae's Weapon, it's one of the harder ones, possibly the hardest, don't remember anything more difficult.

I had more "problems" (as in annoying) capping in shiverpeaks. I didn't find RoF annoying or hard at all, really. got lucky with spawns probably.
What about Offering of Spirit? Only one rit boss has that and he's in Realm of Torment too. Can't remember how hard it was to get to him though.

That was such a pain to get. RoF was comparably easy (since I went through the missions helping people so many times).

LOL - I recall as a Warrior primary needing 2 skills to complete Tyria - both in the same RoF mission. If you loaded a monk secondary you ran into the mesmer. If you loaded the mesmer secondary you would find the monk. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse repeat - arrrrrggghhhh!!!!!.
By comparison, Xinraae was - ok - where do I find boss - hahaha - found you, now you die .
End of discussion really .

RoF Elites are the most annoying to cap without a shadow of a doubt. Bosses that ONLY spawn (randomly) during missions? That wonderful duo, Maxine and Harn Coldstone who only spawn if you're the wrong class (usually ^_^)?
Sure, not hard; no Elites are really hard. RoF takes the cake for sheer frustration.

I loved capping in Mineral Springs. It's as if by sheer magic the game knew what I was trying to cap and kept spawning the boss in the farthest corner of the map. And the Avicara... My, my...
The masochist in me had a field day.

Ring of Fire elites were definitely annoying, but not all that difficult.
Actually, the absolute most difficult caps for me are some that no one has mentioned yet. And I suppose these fall into the "annoying" category as well rather than "difficult".
I don't remember the name of the skills, but while trying for Legendary Skill Hunter I had 2 or 3 skills that could only be capped in the Garden of Seborhim explorable. However, my garden had fallen into nightfall and I couldn't reach the Garden of Seborhim. I had to either finish the game (I had barely reached Vabbi at the time) or find someone to run with that could reach the garden.
THAT WAS FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Golden Skull Strike, an assassin elite attack, was the most painfull to get to imo, before GW:EN came out. The map on wiki seems to be wrong, because the boss spawned a lot further north of that position, so you had to walk all the way around.
The RoF elites aren't hard, you just need to have a bit of luck, which I had I guess, never had any trouble getting the skill I wanted reasonably fast..

Xinrae's is pretty easy to get, the mobs on the way are small and dumb, so you can just kill and keep walking.
FoC was pretty easy to get too, but since I ran droks LOTS at the time, I just ran it backwards for guildies and such, took ~10 mins max to get it.
The Fire Islands ones are a pain, since they aren't guaranteed to spawn, but with PvE skills and such now, it's just as easy, albeit a little slower than most other elites. 2.5 years ago though....

Prophecies elites are the hardest, because they randomly spawn. Might take several, SEVERAL attempts of doing the same thing over and over and over and over to get it. Wait... that sounds like PvE... nvm...
