Bosses in HM not doing anything - Guild Wars Forums

Hey all,

I just finished my vq of deldrimor bowl on my ele, and all the shiverpeak horse bosses didn't use any attack skills. Often they just used 1 of their total skill set.

War just used shielding stance, ranger boss did nothing but auto-attack.
Ele boss and monk did more but did not use all their skills either.

Anyone experienced this aswell?
Got screens of ele boss but doesn't tell much ofc...

now that you mentioned it....I did notice that the bosses werent doing much attacking during my vanquish today--did iron horse mines (hubby was standing next to me wondering what kind of boss they were ---and was unable to tell since most were using NO skills at all)....
THOUGH
the dolyak healer boss was healing--so it must have been just the attacking bosses that werent doing anything.

The Centaur Monks are bonders from what I remember, so they cast spells less frequently.
Also remember, for enemy bosses in areas pre-LA (infact, in Prophecies in any enemies in the game pre-Crystal Desert Missions) have no elite skills anyway (even in HM), so they have less to cast.

Also if I'm not mistaken, there is actually a couple Dryder bosses up in that area that indeed have no skills at all (you can check with a Signet of Capture), and just auto-attack.

I can confirm this but across the game. Been doing VQs and I have seen melee mobs doing nothing for brief moments such as Charrs in dalada uplands.

I wouldent, this is not a bug since the bosses they are refering to does not have any skills.
