For me, it was Garsh The Nomad <something can't remember> (Elite Bloated Malachor) in Act 3, the first level of Arreat summit

Has the following affixes:
- Fast
- Mortar
- Molten
- Invulnerable Minions

Was tanking for a group from start of Act 3 hell, and my party members ragequitted when we came across this pack.

Vortex, Teleport, Jailer, Illusionist is one of the best and worst packs that I have ever encountered, especially the monster itself is moving fast.

There are a lot more, but this 1 gave me the best impression how these 4 affixes combo so well.

Worse combo ever!

Worse if it has extra health and arcane

molten devastator invulnerable minion is my nightmare.
Straight away skip.

illlusionist invulnerable minion on bulls

lol whole screen of chargers that 1-2 shots you

for me its those invis snakes on act 2.... they are invulnerable when invis and only pop up when near u and starts attacking.

i tio OHKO in inferno alot becoz of them. cb.

in a dungeon, i met them extra HP+shield+plague+mortar
i pulled them to another platform and shoot them from another far site which they cant touch me, i used almost 30min to kill 3 of them even i only press mouse left click, even they have timeout but i stay far and not affected.

Hah? How did you survive the out of time debuff?

Anything with Mortar is hard. Anything that moves fast is harder. Note: moves fast, not have the fast attribute. You can get those frogs from Act 1 with Mortar.. that's deadly.

Anything else are more of an annoyance than dangerous.

Mobs that like to run back and forth are annoying.

Soul Rippers! Any affixes. These things should never be elites. God!

I was at the off-screen, it is a very far distance, it was a free elites kill
they just only can stand still and let me hit

out of aura range and using homing type attacks such as seeker magic missles or hungering arrows etc

jailer frozen mortar arcane enchanted.

I tried run around to avoid the mortar, but in the end kena jailed/frozen and let mortar finish me off.

worst elite pack?

mum and my lil' bro...

i would say the illusionist + chain + invulnerability
cant hit at all
just alt + f4 when i see it.. then create map again
no mood chin. hahaha

Is it just me, or do elites in Inferno spam their abilities WAY more often than in lower difficulties?

I got a jailer molten arcane enchant vortex combo the other day that pissed me off royally. Run a bit kena jail, run further kena vortex, all the while standing in fire and eating rotating purple (pink?) death

invulnerability + fast + any mortar or molten is pain.

arcane sentry still ok coz it's slow

from dishwasher:

any combination of invulnerable minion + teleport is the worst elite pack

Wonder how Hardcore Player go against these elite. Can only die once n game over after all

i have met this kind of elite where when its hp left quarter there is a skullhead appear on top of it's head.
Not sure what is this but it kill whole team less than 30 sec..

it actually happens in all elites pack as long as you don't take them down in 10 minutes

soul ripper/slasher with any affixes

That's a soul ripper btw. !@#$ them.

This post has been edited by dishwasher: Jun 5 2012, 05:31 PM

illusion + meteor and minion + illusion + meteor

xxx+xxx+jailer+mortar..

they "jail" me and send mortar..

meh u guys haven meet the worst..

i meet one

nightmarish + fast + extra health..

meh,u cant do shit mang, cause u keep on being disable for ur whole life... shitbrix

tu nightmarish kan?..
best way of mine again mortar..stand near it...mortar need a range to play..melee tak ken a a lot..or maybe i still nightmare lvl jer..me slowpoke leveler..

You need escape technique. WD use Spirit Walk, dunno what other class can use but I'm sure have something.

Haha I know that one. Keep finding you're running in the other direction

should i add elites monster with return damage??

this is where the "reduce Impairment control.." comes in handy for those nightmare, jailer, & other...

keep a spare EQ with those stats if u cannot makan those pack, if u play barb, wear those EQ + passive skill Juggernaught

at least u can tahan abit ler plus the effect wont last that long when u kena



anyway, for me its those with "Reflect Damage & Fast"

This post has been edited by HaRuaN.X: Jun 6 2012, 01:24 PM

worst elite? yahh..got attack by 2 elite in one time, mean total 6 elite was attacking, I was too weak to fight, run until town. hahaha..

here the pixture.

i love killing elites with return damage, they are still easy without annoying affixes
just keep pot and kite and wait cooldown of pot and kite again

There is a mob type in Azmodan run with huge fatty look. His normal power whack @ NM level cost about 3k health. Met a group of 3 Elite of them one time with Jailer + Freeze + Devastator. My 15k health Monk gg.com for 5 times before get to clear them up.

I can't imagine what will happen when see them in Inferno.

in inferno,they spit at you and you died ...lol
but u have to cross act2 1st....elite and champion there ...god man
cannot be touch.

15k not enough,try 30k and above...
my team have 1monk,1 barb,2 DH....2 tank ,2 damage dealer 80k dps each

Eh boss, 15k @ NM lar...

inferno phase beast. ANY affixes.

The worst ever is, Vortex Molten Firechains Fast on Soul Ripper

i entered the hell difficulty and i finally tasted the 'invulnerable minion' elite... darn it was hard! The elite itself is ok but those minion!

As a wizard I have to completely rely on my hydra and running around my hydra to get them killed! (SO now u can see how much time it takes to kill an elite...

I encoutered a extra life vampiric plagued elite where it won't stay dead. Me and my team keep whacking it for at least 15 minutes and it will revert back to full life again.

Any SOUL LASHER PACKS...even normal ones hurt like hell..

invul minions mortar vortex

summore they are those fast frog burrowing thinggy (hell act 1). kena belasah kaw2 just now no mood playing ady

This post has been edited by Shadow Kun: Jun 10 2012, 12:50 AM

There are a lot more though.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Reflect Damage, Mortar, Invulnerable, Fast = ESC > LEAVE GAME

i hate reflect damage the MOST only =.=V

that burrowing leaper quite ok edi ..wait till u get to those soul lasher/ripper in act 3

my team once with low quality gears, can owned in act 3 by these stupido soul lasher/ripper

Fire Chain + very Fast + Pull + AoE dmg + lava

meet this combination once only, kill me instantly

fire chain elite usually has 3, and they move around you, make you inside of their firechain and take damage, because they are moving very fast, they move around you, you can't move out of the chain area between them, they block you inside, even if you move out successfully by chance or any skill, they pull you in again zzzzzzzzzzzz, and they have poison aoe effects around, and cast lava spell again on you

even you have high LoH, resist, hp or limited immune skill, you can't survive zzzzzzzzzzzzzz


it was like different Damage Over Time on you at the same time

unkillable minions, mortars were ok, I always ignore them and keep attacking, wont die XD, very high LoH

Fire Chain/Molten + Teleporter + Waller.

Didn't even have the time to mouse over to the name, they blink next to you and wall you inside and rape you.

Until now (Hell), i realize that is no matter how strong or worse is the elite packs are, is the LOCATION where they come to strike u.

if u r at the open ground, i have less problem, just take longer time to kill them.

If i stuck at somewhere like a small path way at dungeon or an ambush at small area, no matter what kind of combination of combo i also die.

For me (a glass cannon WD) at Inferno I can't kite those elites that have very fast or the ones that are fast inherently. Invulnerable minions, vortex and mortar are the worse for me as a glass cannon.

Vampiric, extra health, jailer, waller, plagued, teleporter, molten, fire chain and reflect dmg usually I can kill.

aiyoh srsly la very cheap lat that one. jump2 lidat. next time if encounter such stupid combo i will reset instead of trying to beat it and die 10 times over +__+

Inferno Act2 now and certain base monsters are impossible no matter the combination. I got a "fly swarm" elite (not those big bees that spit 4 bees, those swarms of mini bees), even though my monk has like 94% damage reduction I swear they do SO much damage ... like 35k hp to zero in a blink of an eye ...

since i reached inferno, I HATED REFLECT DMG SO MUCH

Reflect damage, extra life, fast, invulnerable minion, molten.... On those fking Corrupted Angel Chargers in act 4!!!!!

I really hate Vampiric Mortar, Arcane Molten fast extra health. This game seriously need a space marine armor. SPESSSSSS MARINESSSSSSS


soul ripper really annoys me. remember diablo1 demon that is acidic and damage armor plus teleport? same level of hatred for them.

Just met another group:
Jailer + freeze + mortar + plague, and they are those mobs who shoot spears from far far away. My monk can never had chance to rush near them.

lol i remember them. they always leave around pools of kencing that is acidic.

I have seen a elite pack where all the minions have shielding but the leader is not. Oh did I mentioned arcane Extra health vampiric froze too?

invulnerable minions, horde, frozen, jailer.. nuff said

invulnarable, fasten, desecrated, vampiric soul lashers ... these motherf***ers just can't die!!!!

invulnerable minion in inferno.. sometime i spend 30 minutes and stuck at a place because of these mob

u say u cannot imagine if in inferno mah
i let u imagine lah .....

wit till u meet the one that curse u...and see ur life drain like water...i totally skip that one runnnnnnnn

This post has been edited by lksing78: Jun 12 2012, 11:06 AM

Hell now. Chicken run all over the place.

I'm crying in Inferno, almost all types of elites are super difficult

I hate any with invulnerable, mortar

invulnerable n molten.

ANY AFFIX WIF LATENCY OF 12K

guys for DMG reflect how u guys manage to kill it with DH ?

for me
just use hungering arrow and slowly chip away at their life 1 by 1....
and use trap to slow them down, kite them along the way and just time ur pots/preparation, use them when ur life is really low, and find ur chance to wriggle around them to get to the health globes (cant really use those burst damage spells, yeah it hurts them, but it hurt u more lulz)

reflect damage + molten + nightmare

reflect +fast+health +molten + mortar... gg

Shadow Power with Gloom runes.
But if you see Extra health + Reflect Damage, just skip it. lol

Extra health + reflect damage + vampire + vortex/desecration

Any two or three with Jailor, Teleport, Fast, Mortar, Fire Chain and Waller is a big problem on Inferno Act 1. Bumping into melee elites with those combo is even worse.

This post has been edited by TristanX: Jun 13 2012, 12:54 AM

truly spoken sir... i was figuring out why i get damage. then i saw the puddle.....D1 was brutal...

I really wonder what does ur siggy means...

btw, in inferno, as long as u encounter fast moving elite, the whole thing will become VERY UGLY regardless any other combination:

- They can few hit kill the player
- Barb can't aggro all of the elite at once, most of the time, the elites are smart enought to by pass the barb and attack the wizard/ demon hunter FROM BEHIND. (means they run behind the player and main belakang)
- They run MUCH faster than you, you can't out run them when hurt.

Seriously.. THis is basically very stupid.. how to whack? What sheet also immune



Whatever sheet i throw at them, no difference.. waste time nia

This post has been edited by ahhoe80: Jun 22 2012, 03:56 PM

lol, y did blizz put such monstar in?

At least makes some sense out of the monsters la.. Sometimes even worse.. with that Shield thinggie...

anything wit mortar and frozen is terrible..zzz

Started in Inferno, i really hate those Shielding ones..damn, u hit hit hit then they shield

anything with frozen, arcane, vampiric and that poison thingy is a big no no to me T_T

For me is meele elites, like any meele elites i will just died to them =/

those fat-a$$ anti-knockback appeared in act 3 azmodan run that contains Invunerable Follower - Arcane Sentry - Freeze - Jailer? And the gold one are stuck at the back of their minions in a tight corridor and that corridor leads to Azmodan

The ones I have HUGE problem with (as melee) are "fast" with molten and/or fire chain. They are programmed to run around you so that you're standing in fire, and fire on the floor is like one of THE most killer things in the game

Anything with Jail + vortex.
Wanna run, kite also can't!!!

Did you manage to pawn it?

seriously ? never encountered that kind of affixes before

u siao... of course lari la.. in fact i SKIP him.. the WD Live to fight another day! ROAR!!

lol pre 1.0.3/coop patch. pretty much near impossible to tank. and IINM we skipped those f***ers lol

i just hate those runners + nightmare mobs. combined with arcane or plagued or molten/desecrator.

horde, illusion, invuln minion lol

fire chain + fast + teleport + jail has to be the worst

arcane frozen jailer teleport .

this is very sick at heart of sin.
This is really no chance for play, once frozen arcane or jailer come teleport to hit.

Monster should also have cool down time, how come can spam not stop.

Currently anything in inferno with 'fast' is a nuisance. My wizzie very slow.

god mode wiz, tell u mang cant be killed

absolutely horryfing champion

they can spam non stop cause the pack got have 3-4 ma, cool down 10 sec, each MONSTARR spam once you mampui

actually they did have cooldown

but there's 4 @ 5 of em doing the arcane's & waller & jailer & plaque & mortar whatever thingy turn after turn

As far as Monk is concern, I now officially hate the most of molton shooter. Want to chase them they keep on running away leaving trail of fire.
