Curse

*spoilers*

In Depths of Madness in the area where you find shiro and the lich there is a boss called topo the protector. There seems to be unlimited graven monoliths but I haven't been able to fully test it. Could be useful for farming points

.
*P.S. the boss also resurrected himself*

He doesn't resurect himself. He runs after a while and come back with full health if you don't kill him fast enough. Whenever he does that, monolites appear. But whe you really kill him, that's over.

anima1991 · Nov 11, 2006, 01:48 PM // 13:48

I actually killed him since I got a morale boost, then he just popped up again =/
I think that mob just comes back alive for some reason.
Hmm... maybe the monoliths just switched to monk and back really fast, when I checked their classes when he popped up they were using either dervish or mesmer skills.

There's no way they can switch classes. You sure they didn't just use a res sig? Some stuff has it.

I thought monoliths had a skill that allowed them to change into another class, but it takes a few seconds to cast so by then they are normally dead, and you dont spot it.

They can switch. I often let them survive long enough to watch them transform just because it's cool. Mesmer and Dervish are what I see them switch back and forth from most frequently.

Uh, yes they can. How far are you in NF?

Well, not that far TBH. Just never heard about them being able to switch proffesions before.

It seems that most gravens don't start with a class, and then they change based on what the makeup of your party is. In the group I farm Margonites with, they almost always turn into Mesmers, and sometimes Dervishes, but in other player/hero groups they almost always go into other classes.

KamikazeChicken · Nov 11, 2006, 09:19 PM // 21:19

I've only seen Monoliths turn Paragon, Mesmer, and Dervish.

Yeh me too... I haven't seen them turn into the other classes.

Anarkii · Nov 12, 2006, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Mesmers 80% of the time for me, and Dervish the rest. Never seen them turn into Paragons..

Some groups have one or two that start as Paragons. I've never seen any morph into a paragon. The paragon's try to morph, but they always die before I can tell what they changed into to. Mesmer/Dervish, I'd assume the Paragon is paired with something else.

I have seen em morph into all of them you obviously dont play long enough

And the ones i battle are dervish 50% of the time... dont know why they just like to die melee style.

Maybe thats because they were turning from a Paragon into a Mesmer/Dervish. Then if you wait long enough they might turn back, but most of the time they die before that.

So can you actually Lightbringer farm this area?

garethporlest18 · Nov 12, 2006, 02:11 PM // 14:11

They change into Dervish, Mesmer and Paragon and seem to go for Mesmer more when fighting warriors. Hence the Crippling and Clumsiness. I've seen them change into all forms though, well those 3. Mesmers are just annoying and Anet tries to make use of that. I don't know why.

The Legg · Nov 12, 2006, 02:47 PM // 14:47

Have not seen any res shrines in the depths of madness that give u lightbringer points for killing the monoliths though
