Curse

Okay, I'm going to start out by saying the current challenge missions suck. They are kinda boring, the rewards aren't really that great, and some aren't even challenging!

Also, GW has very lame bosses. The endgame bosses, all 4 of them, suck. While they are cool lore-wise, they are easy to beat. Hell, Varesh was harder to beat than Abbadon!
So I figured, make a challenge mission, a REAL challenge mission, where the objective is simple. Kill one very hard boss. The daily/monthly records are held by who can get him down to the lowest amount of health.

For the boss himself tying into lore and all that, lets say hes the leader of the Zaishen. Being the leader of the Zaishen, he would be on the Battle isles, and accessible to PvP only characters. he would wield a pair of daggers that would look like twin Falchions. Each normal attack would deal 50 damage.

Now, he would be level 35, he would have 12,000 health, and 200 energy. Plus, he would have a vast amount of armor, and +5 natural health regen, and +4 energy regen.

Here are the skills I made up for him. Remember, he is supposed to be very over powered, near impossible to defeat.

Shiv: offhand attack, 5E 8R
If this attack hits, it deals +100dmg and target foe suffers from bleeding and deep wound for 30 seconds.

Sonic Steel: Dual attack, 15E 6R
Must follow an Offhand Attack. If this attack hits, it deals +150 damage. If your target would die from this assault, all enemies within earshot begin bleeding and become blinded for 30 seconds.

Balthazar's Hunt; Ritual 25E 3AC 20R
Summon 3 lvl 15 Hounds of Balthazar which steal 50 health per hit and heal you for 50 health every hit.

Feast of Malice: Skill, 10E, 10R
Heal yourself for 750 health and exploit a nearby corpse,. If a corpse is exploited in this way, lose all hexes.

"Bow to Balthazar!" Shout, 25E, 20R
All foes are knocked down for 5 seconds, and suffer from cracked armor for 60 seconds. Struck foes are also set on fire for 15 seconds

Balthazar's intervention: Enchantment Spell 10E 45R
Lose all hexes and adrenaline. For 12 seconds, you cannot attack, but gain +6 health regen, 50 health per second, and immunity to damage and hexes.. If this would end prematurely, all foes suffer from Dazed and 3x Exhaustion for 60 seconds.

Indomitable Will: Skill, 0E, 0R
Skill. You become immune to all conditions, and your skills cannot be interrupted or disabled.

Inhuman Rampage: Elite Stance 100Adrenaline 0R
Lose all hexes and become immune to them for 100 seconds. For 100 seconds you move and attack 100% faster, double strike with each attack and your attacks steal health. Whenever an enemy dies, you gain 100 adrenaline. This stance cannot be ended prematurely.

Now THIS is a boss!

The stage itself would be like Imperial Sanctum. You start out in a small room a the end of a corridor. As your run down the corridor which is flanked by friendly Zaishen Acolytes, they salute you. Finally, at the end of this long hallway, you run through a door and into a huge circular room. You see a custscene where are souper powerful friend introduces himself, the gate closes behind you, and the battle begins. He starts off by activating Indomitable Will, then charges at you. There are NPC spectators looking on your match (like in the Norn fighting tourney). Matches could even be spectated like Guild Battles are.

This should be a guild/alliance only thing. The winning guilds get to select from 3 special, unique guild halls (which come fully furnished with the NPCS), as well as a chest that spawns after killing this guy that contains rare skinned gold weapons, and rare mats.

So what do you all think? Keep comments civil too, please.

P.S. Excuse all the punctuation and grammar mistakes, my computer is lagging every 5 seconds (literally) while im on my internet browser

EDIT: Adjusted some of the skills

Um, if you wanted a bigger challenge, why don't you try soloing (just you, no H/H) everywhere. Or two man. Plenty of places to go. Used to solo quite a few places (UW, FOW) or just roam around with my warrior and a bonder hero. Plenty of things to do, and you get loot too. Or you could try some of the elite missions, Urgoz, deep, or mallyx. You even get statues for you HoM nowadays.

And there's always pvp if you want to fight an opponent who can who can think and adapt...

The Lurch · Oct 01, 2007, 01:25 AM // 01:25

I do solo, I solo farm, and occasionally FoW. Its not much of a challenge, and its boring. And unless your talking about high-end pvp, thats not that great either.
And yes, the elite missions are challenging,. I'm asking for another one, sorta. A core one. Urgoz And the Deep are so elitist as well, most people only run one build. This ( i hope) would be different, one build wouldnt be able to be the only thing ran here.

If you want a hard boss, challenge a good Spirit Spammer ritualist to a 1v1 duel with you as a melee character (and NOT using Shadow Form) and him with Shadowsong, Anguish, Pain, Bloodsong, Ritual Lord, Painful Bond, and all those other things that make challenging a Spirit Spammer to 1v1 suicide.

That's not hard. That's hetero-challenged RA crap. Go to RA as a Warrior, go through a few matches, you'll see those in spades. 1v1? Pah. a 2v1 against a spiritspammer would still be suicide. Broken class. Go look up the Animist class from DAoC. Read about how utterly broken it was. Then look at the Rit and tell me the resemblance isn't eerie.

Back on topic: Superboss from hell actually sounds fun. /signed.

I've never had trouble facing a spirit spammer (as long as you don't give him time to set up his spirits)

The Lurch · Oct 01, 2007, 03:40 AM // 03:40

How to kill a Spirit Spammer on an assassin? GO BoA and rape him before he gets his spirits up. Simple.

Okay, while I'm looking for a challenge, i m looking for a fun one too. I dont know about you guys, but someone else already said something that sums what i think up.

Vocal Minority + Mist Form + Blind

Amazingly enough he's dead!
Edit:
Oh he has a superbuff that makes hexes not work.. that's..kinda..stupid.

Not only are you making him uber 'badass' You're also taking out the hexer classes. So good bye necros and mesmers.

I will sign this, but with different skills.

I was trying to make his superbuff that makes him immune to hexes (inhuman rampage is what your talking about i think) something to dread. Thats why it takes 100 adrenaline, so it takes forever to build up. It would be near impossible for any party to survive a guy who deals 50 dmg per attack hitting like 6 times in one second, and stealing life at that.

deya · Oct 01, 2007, 12:01 PM // 12:01

How about:

Immune to all kind of damage, Instakill everything withing earshot every second.

Then it'd be sympathetic Visage+Soothing images that killed him.

The skills in this game own dude.

I dont see how you see challenge equaling an overpowered boss.

More bruteforce tactics. snore...
