For fun, see if anyone want to make thier own Boss Mob.
Here is a template that you might follow:

Name:

Classes:

Skills:

Skill Usage: (how they would chain it)

Looks:

Specials:

Also remember, as a boss, they probably will be at lv28+, and interesting to see double, or even tripple class bosses. And as a Mob, they can be more free in balances (so things like equiping more than one elites, mob skills, special properties, etc can be apply). Also think what underling it could have. Overall, make one that would be challenge to take on, yet also fun.

Seems the expected would be a straight foward "Lets form a capping group and kill that dude, he spawns at X and X locations". Personally I liked how the Lich King worked because he had a strategic way of fighting, and a few phases.. A big boss so to speak.

I haven't an idea for names yet but here it goes.. The theory behind these bosses, would be they'd appear through out the whole story line (Of course growing stronger in each encounter) Both professions are sorta representatives of the new nations.. Correct? The Kurzicks = Ritualists/The Luxons = Assassin. Although thats kinda a long jump, the idea is, If you were a Kurzick it'd be an assassin boss appearing through out the missions hired to kill your party, if you were a Luxon it'd be a ritualist boss appearing through out the missions trying to kill your party. I don't really remember the skills for each class (Didn't screenshot) But these guys wouldn't be on the same level as a regular player, they'd have stronger then regular skills that are unique to them. I'm guessing the assassin would be able to shadow step to any target or away from any target at anytime, and the ritualist could have (Just a random thought) an ultra summon in which he makes a ring of spirits that act as a wall of Shield of Judgement knocking down anyone who even goes near it. (Would be used for trapping players in, or keeping players out) They'd have an imporant role in the storyline of course.

Another thought.. If any of you have ever played Dungeon Siege II you'll know what I'm talking about. At anytime while out of a town with like a 0.0000001% chance of appearing, this humanoid creature in a cloak would randomly attack your party.. But not physically. He'd steal loot and anything that wasn't picked up, he was called ????. The catch is, if you could land hits on him he'd drop rare items and gold. (He'd run ultra fast like in GW it'd be around.. 100% faster running speed, so dodging magic projectiles and arrows would not be a problem)
