Most Complete Elite Skill Listing Available

[Xennon]

Lo all :-)

Just posting about the elite skill list I made. It seems as if its the most complete list of elite skills on the net, and it also provides maps to the locations of the bosses with the skills :-)

Anything with 'unconfirmed' after it is something that I have not confirmed/mapped with my own eyes.

You can get to the list at http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/

Hope this helps u out :-)

[Valerius]

awesome... just got me 2 more elites with that list...

thx man!

[Kershent]

Good list! I did notice something, though. Your info on Healing Word is correct (it says Unconfirmed on your list). A couple guildies and I plan on retrieving it today. I've seen the healer boss in Elona use it repeatedly.

[Xennon]

Unconfirmed means that i've never seen it personally :-) If you do manage to find it, feel free to take a pic and mark the location on the map :-) Would be very helpful hehe.

[Kershent]

Ah, okay.

[LaMort]

Well done that man! :)

Now in my favourites.

[Valerius]

Now in my favourites.

mine too lol ;)

[Freakychakra]

Nice work!

Totally bookmarked :D

[goku19123]

Yes, very good job. I'm sure it was time consuming lol...

[Xennon]

Meh, not that bad :-) A lot of it I did when I was hunting for my own elite skills hehe. Also, I quite enjoy exploring round zones and stuff so it wasn't so bad.

I've added a bunch more info to the list, so if there were some 'unknowns' on there before then have another check :-)

[Tomo]

Great site, ive bookmarked it. however, one question- the sections which are at the ice area, do you come back to that during the story ? or simply explore there ?

[A11Eur0]

Confirm Gladiator's Defense being from the Facet of Strength, I picked it up the other day.

[Xennon]

You come back to it during the story. You can explore there, but its basically impossible considering u wouldn't be level 20 and you would only be able to get weak henchmen.

Thanks A11EurO. I'll mark it down.

Proof of Spiteful Spirit Here (http://www.angelfire.com/va3/forsale/spitespirit.html)

Found him in the same place that Frostbite and Brrrr Windburn appear (below the hill in front of the building.

[Xennon]

Added, thanks :-)

[Eclair]

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to take a screenshot, but Kratos(the Mursaat Elementalist boss) in Mines of Moludurne has Thunderclap. You can also get lightning surge from the elementalist facet in the Dragon's Lair.

[Vangor]

Anyone able to show where Kor Stonewrath is in Snake's Dance, that is a long and winding map of too much combat, and I haven't even found a single ettin. Going to go search now and try to bring something back but, hopefully someone knows.

Note that thus far, I've fought through about a hundred giants, no Kor, however, Whuump Bumbuul can be found in Snake Dance, the large cave near Dreadnought's Drift, so perhaps both places, but I'm looking at him as I type.

And just found Featherclaw, Mesmer Griffon who uses Mantra of Recall, right next to the central resurrection shrine in Snake's Dance.

Finally! Kor Stonewrath is in my sight, at the small area off to the side before Dreadnought's Drift. If you plan to get up to Earthshaker, be advised that you will indeed fight about a hundred giants at the very least, tons of trolls, a bunch of azure shadows, and so on, before you even come close to him.

And I got Earthshaker, if you engage him, there are about five giants with him, kill off at least two then select another for your people to focus on, let Kor gain some adrenaline and he will do it soon enough, be far away from any other giants, I was interrupted twice before finally gaining it, and if you attack him straight on he will constantly use healing signet like most warrior bosses, so you'll never get a chance.

[Xennon]

Even tho you already found him, i'm just letting you and others know that I mapped Snake Dance, so there are now maps available for boss locations for that zone :-)

That's a nice list you've put together, thank you.

[Fantras]

Indeed, very nice map. Added to my favorites as well.

[Viruzzz]

Word of healing is on the boss in the 3rd part of thirsty river in the right boss spawn point (right, seen from when you enter it). he allways spawns there. on the map. the X's form 2 lines. its the middle X in the bottom line. he does not alter spawn point

i don't have anywhere to host a screenshot. but i've run that mission so many times now to help guild mates ascend. he has spawned there 100% of the time.

[Phantium]

Good job, bookmarked.

[dustbunny]

There is another boss that uses word of healing. I've went there twice with two different characters to capture it. It's easier than trying to do it in the middle of the more difficult Elona Reach or Thirsty River missions. That other boss is Dassk Arossyss in Dunes of Despair mission. I don't have a map, but he is located in just outside the draw bridge that the ghostly hero has to open. After you wind your way through and kill some losarus, you have to cross a suspended bridge and turn left. Before you get to the draw bridge leading to the enemy ghostly hero, there is one boss pack. Dassk Arossyss or Vassa Ssiss (that one that uses ether renewal) will spawn there. If you knock out the siege wurm nearby, this boss pack is usually by itself, making skill capture relatively easy.

[Studio Ghibli]

.. I have neither no name, but Order of the vampire is also capturable in the Thirsty Rivers mission in the third round on the.. right-hand side?

[Rahl]

That's odd... I bought Spike Trap from a Skill merchant!
Says it's elite... its not.

[Xennon]

Barbed trap is not elite.

Spike Trap is elite.

At least thats what all the skill listings say.

[super dooper]

Hilios The Dutiful in Iron Mines of Moladune does indeed have Oath Shot - I captured it from him last night. I have no screenshot, but I trust that you can trust me, heh.

[Crom the Conqueror]

So many are in perdition rock :eek: Guess I am gonna camp there for a while. Just got hundred blades from rurik, and healing hand. My task here is basically complete, but my guildies want to stay and get all the elite skills that can find.

[DeemosQB]

Great help cheers *buys xennon a beer*

[Muke]

Xennon, Smuk Fumbuul does NOT use battle rage.

[Xennon]

Xennon, Smuk Fumbuul does NOT use battle rage.

Thats a matter of contention right now. I've seen enough screenshots and heard enough evidence from people who have the skill, to believe that he does have it.... its just very tough to capture.

That is what I believe at the mo, and so until I know otherwise i'm leaving it as it is on the list. I appreicate that many people have said they have failed to cap it, but I also appreicate screenshots of people who have battle rage on their list.

[OrangeArrow]

if orbhit Barkwood has Defy Pain that must mean Custoadian Dellus has Warriors Endurance. any warrior mese want to try it out? energy drain aracne echo and ether lord should drain his energy enough for him to use it

[shinseikaze]

nice just got Elemental Attunement

[C2K]

Confirmed: Berg Frozenfist in the Ice Cave of Sorrows does have Water Trident.

He spammed it about 7 times on my group. :eek:

[Niare]

Thanks for this list. It'll be really helpful. :D

[super dooper]

Ulhar Stonehound in Thunderhead Keep has Melandru's Arrows (confirmation). The skill listing didn't pop into my head soon enough, so this is the best screenshot I got of it.

http://img280.echo.cx/img280/4933/ulharstonehoundmelandrus6xk.jpg

http://img280.echo.cx/img280/4992/ulharstonehoundlocation4nm.jpg

[Rahl]

Yea, he's the first boss in there after the big bridge.

It takes a while to get him sometimes since the boss spawn is random.

But you can get lucky ^^

[DeemosQB]

i can confirm that jono yampyawl has got "victory is mine" in spearhead peak. Me and another warrior captured it today thanks to you xennon... cheers

[Shrapnel_Magnet]

Xennon... Battle Rage.. wtf? 5 of us spent half an hour with that boss and 29.9 minutes of that was pressing the Signet of Capture, lol.

We distracted both his disrupting chop and mighty blow... and he doesn't use any other skills... besides Battle Rage supposedly. You confirm getting it from this guy?

[Z-Shinrei]

When is the earliest you can get "Mist Form"?
(as you can tell, i really need this spell haha)
I'm at the Temple of Ages right now.
Thanks for any help.

[C2K]

Earliest you can get Mist form is in Talus Chute

[RepinsMirg]

You aren't going to get it for quite some time if you are at the temple of ages.

[Purple Haze]

Wow! That listing is awesome! Thanks for sharing your work

[redsand26]

where can i buy another signet of capture? thanks! :confused:

[RepinsMirg]

From the same guy you got the quest from in LA

[redsand26]

Done. Thanks!

[freeboy]

Thank you, it is very useful

[Lionel23]

Shrapnel_Magnet, check the other thread discussion, you can get it from the warrior troll in troll caves (Shmuch something) outside Forge. Check Xennon's map for the Ranger ESCAPE skill to know the location, ranger or warrior boss spawns there, and its a lot easier to get Battle Rage from him.

[Zhark]

I only have one elite skill so far: hundred blades. I got it easily from a Char boss just crossing the bridge on the breach, west of ascalon city.... I don't see that location listed on the http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/

Just my 2 cents.

I guess maybe the skill was removed from that location after one of the updates??? Just guessing.

[DeemosQB]

Now with the new update it should be easier to get elites right?

[CtrlAltDel]

just a handful of the ones that had bosses rarely using them to capture in the first place

[Xennon]

Warriors Endurance, Defy Pain, Battle Rage, Punishing Shot and Crippling Shot are all now easier to capture. These were the only effected skills. Its been confirmed that they are all pretty easy to capture now. All other skills are relativly easy to capture already, so basically that is every elite found and happy :-)

[MaglorD]

Defy Pain still took quite a bit of trouble. When I killed him about 2x with henchies, he still didn't use Defy Pain.

Finally got into a PUG and then all of a sudden, was capturing Defy Pain. A few PCs at that point were dead due to the Ice Imps...

[Oracle]

Since the update, can anyone tell me if Mineral Springs is easier to work through for soc runs? I find this area particularly tedious to a) get to; b) clear out; c) cap skills from. A standard soc run here is well over 1 hour in my experience (and the one time I did do it, the Elem boss was nowhere to be found).

I need Glyph of Energy and Shield of Judgement from here.

Don't think they changed anything here, as it's not mentioned in the patch changes.

[silentcid]

Krogg Shmush uses the skill even at 75% Health. I found that you don't need to drop stuff and keep picking them up while spamming your soc. You just keep spamming. I spammed so quick that I on accidently cancelled my capturing and did that about 3 times before capturing. I even captured this skill just by using henchies, all I brought with me is Alesia, Lina and Little Thorn.

[Jia Xu]

with the new soc update, simply kill the monster who has the skill you want. Move your character near to where his corpse is, or if he doesnt have a corpse, where he died, and activate your SoC. the bar will be empty dont worry, then a menu pops up with a list of all of the dead bosses skills. select which one you want to capture and you have your elite! this makes it very nice and easy to get all the skills you need.

As mineral springs goes, the easiest way to do it i have found is to take two death necros with you. Having two people constantly using verata's sacrifice leads to a ridiculous amount of bone fiends, and when their death magic is lvl 16, you walk through the place. Obviously, this may not be viable for people who aren't in a guild so just try to get a PUG or friends who know what they are doing. I find at this point in the game, Death necros get pretty powerful against all these avicara/stone summit/ hydra gits. :P have fun.

[DeemosQB]

wtf this new system comes in as soon as i had spent all my time getting all my elites (getting some drove me to beat the crap outta my monitor) it just pisses me off how they did this. it seems that the players that have been playing from the start are getting screwed over big time...

Hey Xennon, this list is great! I have one suggestiont hough..

It would be really nice if under each skill name you have the short description of what the skill does. With that this would be a single spot to see both the skill locations and capabilities. I know the list would get bigger, but I think it would be a small price to pay. :)

[MaglorD]

LOL, oh well...your other characters will benefit. I too spent quite a bit of time capturing all the warrior elites using the old method.

Maybe, maybe not. Skill description also includes energy cost, adrenaline cost, recharge time etc etc etc. The list might get too big...

[scott silverblade]

the new patch screwed a buncha stuff up. The ring of fire is totally different now. Trying to get ether prodigy and incinderiary arrows is harder than you can imagine now. Who knows what else.

[MaglorD]

Haven't yet got a mesmer or ranger to that stage. Why is it harder? I read about problems with cut-scenes preventing skill capture since you have to wait for the boss to die...

Really, they should have just enabled capturing skills both ways.

[Jigokunoinu]

Maybe, maybe not. Skill description also includes energy cost, adrenaline cost, recharge time etc etc etc. The list might get too big...
I too find myself having to look up the skill description, so what about making it so that clicking the name of the skill links to the GWGuru description of it? Unless of course GWG don't like you doing that ...

[Makkert]

It would be really nice if under each skill name you have the short description of what the skill does.
agreed.

Further more, a few BUGS on the list:
mesmer - energy drain - gambol headrainer: links to picture of place of Skitt Skizzle. please link right one up.

monk - healing hands: the boss is an ettin, but you link to a pic that states hydra. and i can't find the boss ettin that uses it there, so my guess is that this one is also wrong linked.

[DeemosQB]

LOL, oh well...your other characters will benefit. I too spent quite a bit of time capturing all the warrior elites using the old method.

Yeah and at least all the new players wont be so annoyed when it comes to get their elites.. this is a good thing and gives all a chance.. but we can say back in the early GW day i got my elites the good ol fashioned way lol

Hahaha! What a comment! So the game was WORSE when we started playing and it should STILL be bad so that everybody can suffer as much as we did? I finished the Galrath Quest the day before the update and got 500xp - how do ya like that?

"When I used to play GW it crashed all the time - now they fixed it! I don't like that! The game should still crash so that everybody gets the same feeling as I did." See an analogy here? ;-)

Hey i understand that was an ignorant post :) so im all better now.. but isnt this the point of fourms?..

They aren't bugs.

Gambol spawns in the same place as Skitt Skizzle, so I used same map.

Ettin spawns same places as the hydras, so again, used the same map. When I update I check everything. There are NO bugs with the maps :-) They all hold correct information.

hmmm ok...

then i guess i'm terribly unlucky to try getting healing hands, and even after about ...8 times i think never found the ettin boss but always the hydra?

[Xennon]

Yep. Sometimes he just loves to not spawn. Unless it got changed in the most recent patch (which seems unlikly) he spawns there.

[Anarkii]

Its impossible to get Barrage from Markis right now. Should that be removed from the list till they fix it? :/

[Moofoo Pork]

You think they will fix it? i guess u just gotta go to abaddon's mouth for now =(

[MaglorD]

Yes they are fixing it. Anet knows about it...and they have so far acted pretty quickly to fix problems with the game.

[Rappan Athuk]

Riine Windrot and Bolis Hillshaker are definatley both in Thunderhead keep and definatley both have those skills. Riine has 2 locations i know for sure (not seen him in Bolis's third yet) and Bolis has 3. I know because Riine spent about 2 days straight a few weeks ago pissing my necro off due to not using it quickly enough before being killed (finally got it tho) and Bolis has been annoying my W/Mo all this morning with an annoying ability to not die :mad:


Heres a quick red X map of both

I can't seem to find the Vulg Painbrain (Spike Trap) any more =/

Can someone confirm whether or not it is still in the Ring of Fire?

visited him a week ago: confirmed

[Mgz]

new discover!!!
Crippling Anguish is also avaible from Yxthoshth in Crystal Desert (Seeker passage) - just join a group with people who do the Ranger's Path quest and he will be there. I cap a screenshot but i got him using conjure fantasm instead :/.. GRHHHHHHHHH

[Xomah of Denyle]

That was helpful indeed, thanks folks
