During Abaddon's Mouth mission in HM with hench and hero's killing Willa the Unpleasant was very easy, even easier then in "easy" mode. He didn't use any skills and only wanded a bit. Today I did the Ring of Fire mission in HM with hech and hero's and Coventina the Matron only used Orison of Healing once. I used 2 SF hero's, 1 LoD monk hero, Lina, Mhenlo, Devona and Little Thom and I was a burning arrow ranger. What was the matter with these monk bosses? I can remember doing them with a random PUG 1,5 years ago (no HM or hero's then) and they were quite hard because of their massive healing power.

Must of been a lucky bug. That or maybe there was some "aoe" damage that made it want to run away but it was stuck? Then it wouldn't cast much maybe.

Yea you musta got lucky on some odd bugs. We did HM tyria a few months ago and while he was still easy, he wasnt THAT easy lol. Normal mode mursaat bosses seemed harder then the HM ones, despite the quick cast/movement and high powered spells. Odd....

Anyways, grats on being lucky, go buy a lottery ticket.

-Tiki

For those who are not lucky and have to fight them the old fashioned way....defile flesh + ss + rip enchant = easy

Did Abbadon's Mouth again yesterday in HM and Willa was "normal" again, so it must have been some kind of bug. But there were 2 groups of Jade Armor just standing there and not doing anything.

Yeah i remember having a hard time there because of their 250 hp orison heals, you should actually have been runninga BHA build there

.-, makes them a piece of cake

Yeah I remember he was way easier as well, he was just spamming [skill]Draw Conditions[/skill] which made killing him a breeze (he was paired with the Mesmer boss)

I know, but I like trying to interrupt it with [skill]Distracting Shot[/skill]/[skill]Savage Shot[/skill], usually the timing of them is very predictable.

He did the same here, paired with the ranger boss once (that was when he didn't do anything), and with a warrior boss the second time. Still the missions look easier in HM then in NM, but this could be the result of H/H in stead of random PUG's.

I faced similar problem with these monks ... we were doing THK and we have been so lucky, that we get a monk as a mursaat boss. We started to fight him in the fort, but it was nearly useless (no BHA/interrupt etc.) so we were forced to pull him to the catapult field and we finished him there (After about 15 minutes of bashing him, he suddenly stopped to cast his spells).

I did it with just henchies the first time (NM) and H/H the second time (HM) and it was still way easier. Maybe ANet did a ninja change or something? I remember doing Abaddon's Mouth on my ele in NM and I couldn't kill the boss so I just ran past it

*Closed*

It's been resolved... but if this was truly a bug, it should go into the bug forum.
