All of them.

Thanks to god i lost this...

For me the most difficult cap was [skill]Incendiary Arrows[/skill] from the only boss who carries it: Casses Flameweb. (Who does not always appear.)

It took me quite some attempts.

OoU brrr that one was a real pain... I haven't retried since, with the change it must be way easier.
The RoF elites were very annoying too, the 2 human bosses that walk around on the first island with a random spawn are very frustrating

it's easy to get in EotN if you have that.
I did Legendary skill hunter in my warrior, and I remember Maw (feast of corruption). And as said the RoF chain was annoying. Having to do missions there over and over just to get 1 elite at a time is boring, especially when that elite happens to be in the portal field in Hell's... sigh...

edit: didn't we already have a thread about this? and shouldn't the title be changed?

Prophecies elites are annoying, especially the ones in out-of-the-way places (I turned Sorrow's Furnace upside down looking for the Eviscerate boss once).

Good thing EotN made a lot of them (and elites from Factions and NF) easier to get now...

Not too hard of a fight but the spawn rate for this boss is the lowest of any in the game,Shared spawn points with 5 other bosses(this might have been patched sense i capped it) took me a month to get him to spawn for me.
Made me hate skill capping.

I'm pretty sure all 6 Tengu bosses spawn, though, even if the one you're after always seems to be the one you find last...

I've been doing skill caps and I'll vote with those on the prophecies bosses where 4 of 6 appear at any given time. You roll out into the area and kill one after another because they are in the way and the guy you need shows up on the fifth try. Any guaranteed spawn point is better. As long as they don't give an elite exclusive to Rotscale.

how about snake dance?

Capping in Mineral springs as a Ritualist is especially shitty. No fewer than 6 trips.

Nessar · Sep 01, 2008, 05:55 PM // 17:55

I'd say Proph was most annoying, with the random spawns and all, but I got that title in 3,4 days. Doing RoF, Abaddons Mouth, and zoning in and out of perditions rock was annoying as hell. But I found it fun ^^
Cantha and Elona were ridiculously easy xP Elona just had really long walks..and I'd get lost alot ><

Capping Life Stealth was a bitch though. I had to zone at least +15 times <<

Boreas Seabed mission ftw?

N1ghtstalker · Sep 01, 2008, 06:31 PM // 18:31

Abedeus · Sep 01, 2008, 06:43 PM // 18:43

For Proph capping (half way there on Ranger) I will probably cap those easier elites in other campaigns and if it fails, I won't be going to Ring of Fire any more (unless it's explorable) or Mineral Springs. Elite tome farming ftw.

Isn't he a boss-like foe?

I hate Tyrian caps the most, especially the South Shiverpeak ones. Mineral Springs actually isn't too bad once you make it to Granite Citadel... but some areas just drove me nuts. You run run run run through the various explorables just so you can make it there... only to find that you got unlucky. At least in Mineral Springs all the bosses are there >.>

When NF was all new and i was maxing out my skill hunter title this guy gave me many headaches
That place is much easier now, since stuff in that area has been changed
I know you can cap in other places that elite, but DAMN that guy sucked

Sir Pandra Pierva · Sep 02, 2008, 01:31 AM // 01:31

my question is why the hell did you try to cap it there?

viper11025 · Sep 02, 2008, 03:34 AM // 03:34

RoF was torture!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats all I need to say, XD

this is an interesting point because from the stand point of pve that's super late game, and there is only the eotn to play after that point in time. but from a pvp standpoint it really dost matter because you can unlock it and start using it....

anywho my main response is to the fire island caps and Prophecies elites is that i for one think they should stretch out the elites ie make it so once you get to Lions arch after that point all the boss will have elites that you can cap. and then go back and make it so all the bosses have only spawn in one spot. this would do 3 things it would give a boost to players who have ch who arent at lvl 20. and secondly it would make more people want to play though that part of the game. and it would take the guess work out of elite caping.

Not to mention that putting elites in Maguuma might actually encourage people to go there...

And really, the "let's just toss an assload of elites on the fire island" thing was lousy design...
