Your Most Hated Enemy ?

[Aerath]

And no, I'm not talking about either the big ole Lag Monster or that FE/CE/LE critter that blew up your lvl 98 Godly [Insert Character Class here]. Just in general...

Which is the critter you hate most ?

For me, it would have to be those stupid Beetles.

[repoarto]

Me too beetles.. they just start doing sometime insane damage.. my 90 level zerker barb with 3,6k life almost died.. i empied one row full rejus before i took some cap between them^^ then i just waited they come in narrow tunnel in maggot lair and killed them one by one..

-Arto-

[Winona]

I love the beatles, they die fast and give good exp. My favourite hate critter must be bloodlords and their like. So deadly and slow to kill.

[Kelicc]

Stygian Dolls.

They are little and squirrely and run all over the place so you have to chase them down. Then, when you do catch them, they hurt when you kill them :(

[rachil0]

I hate zakarumites. What the heck is the point of an enemy that just runs away from you? I suppose it's improved AI that's meant to regroup and fight collectively, but all they seem to do is flee endlessly.

Leapers are annoying too, with their auto-knockback property.

[repoarto]

Hehe. those act 3 cowardly runners like womans alot, i played act 3 today in hell with my javazon and oh my they were all over me.. i think it was pure lust
^^

Those guys are funny, teleport into the midle of a pack and watch them scatter like chikens avoiding a butcher.

I agree that its an AI thing. these guys are smart, they know they are going to be torn into pieces if they stay.

Diablo2s only smart monsters.

[Christor]

Actually, the zakarumite guys only run from you after you get the travincal quest, since after that they're no longer under the council's control and thus have no intention of fighting you.

If you take a new char to act 3 that hasn't done the quest, you'll see that they generally flock to you in droves.

Silly Rachil0...:lol:

[Corndog]

Black and or Burning souls in Hell.

Add a conviction based boss and that is just plain nasty.

[rachil0]

Chhhhrrrriiiissstttooooorrrr ... I didn't know that. I find it hard to believe that you would know more useless facts about this game than I do. So I'll choose to forget this ever happened.

Haven't seen you in a while! :howdy:

[NightShade]

With barbs :

Fallen before I hit 30. or Venomlords...OW.

[fgh24]

I would easily have to say ok's. I have met my deeds to that IM so many times. Plus LR isnt ne thing to laugh at.

[masakerr]

The list is so long. Yes, I hate beatles. I also hate those winged witches. But the number one critter that I hate are those Gloams. I hate the gloams, their cousins, brothers, uncles, aunts, etc.

:buddies:

Masa

[HSmith@USEast]

Black Souls with conviction! :rant:

[0takuPryd3]

I too hate the minotaur-types (Blood Lords, etc). My brother's bowazon died in one hit from one when he was amped, and then my javazon almost met the same fate. They, along with Burning Souls, are pretty much the only reason I can't teleport the Worldstone Keep without BO.

[Matt]

Depends on the character.

Casters: Gloams/burning souls. These things are NASTY, I had 1k life, 1k mana, ES was up, 75% light resist, 1 boss pack of em in the plains of despair, deeds in 1 shot.

Melee: Either OK's for iron maiden, or stygian dolls (they HURT when they die) or venom lords, they can kill you very quickly.

Oh and casey, rush me tonight if I'm on.

[Cleglaw_Himself]

Most annoying for me:
zealots/zakarumites

Monsters I have respect for (Most dangerous):
1. Stygian dolls
2. Oblivion knight pack casting lower resist.
3. Might or fanat enchanted archer/javelin packs, especially when all missiles hit at once...

[Brother_Maynard]

i'd have to go with black souls in wsk3, those baddies wreck baal runs like a nude pic of estelle geddy does to ur happy hour. :/

after that i'd say obliv k-nig-hts for the iron maiden.

[DarkDexter]

Well this is going to be a funny list....
1. Styangat Doll (Stupid Death Explosion)
2. Bettles (Stupid Lighting Death)
3. Vipers (Bone Spear hurts on Hell)
4. Diablo (I don't know how many times he will turn all the way around from everyne woh is actually attacking to the sad necro standing lonely in the background to lighting inferno me....)
5. Council Members (In large packs Amp and tons of hydras hurt)
6. Gloams (Nothing needs to be said....)
7. Fallens that come out of nowhere and almost kill a high lvl character whild u are going to the bathroom (personal experience)

[minion]

Since everyone is posting stygian dolls and gloams (For good reason) I didn't see these guys posted and I can't stand the critters...

Reanimated Hordes...

ever since 1.10 came out these guys have packed a huge bunch and I've "wasted" countless juvs from when they hit me...

meh...

on a lighter note my favorite critters to kill are blood clan aka dark clan, goat men

I love their death animation and sound, especially when you kill them with a mace weapon (or a staff!) love that sound... :flip:

[Slash]

them goat men do die with a good yelp :)

My most hatted creature atm has to be them little tiny flying birds that are now in act 5-bloody foothills. They give crap for exp, and a boss pack can easily kill a 90+ char in an instant. Take my 90 zon with full res, tgos, and 30 DR for a good example :P

And thier death animation sux, and thier little "call" is annoying as hell. After that it has to be the Buzzards. They fly so you cant hit em them stun ya so they cant be hit.

[Lostprophet]

Those stupid Breeding Maggot thingies. I generally only play Melee, so sending a FO or two into their midst isn't an option. First of all, they poison you. What stupidity. Then, they have the gall to lay eggs, in hopes that their young will hatch and do their bidding. Then, if you get them low enough in life, they burrow underground! WTF?! I usually run right past them after they burrow (because I'm stupid), then get swarmed from behind by the young who hatch while I'm pushing ahead. Additionally, their physical damage does just enough to be dangerous to melee chars, especially in NM and Hell.

Yeah.

[Mr.Bogohossian]

Most hated>>>Those flying Eagles or whatever.

There was once i followed one in 8 player hell game with my stafe zon. The damn thing flew away when i was just about to kill it. I mean what d hell? you cant shoot arrow at little birds in the air with a zon that's the master of all bows?

[Randal.Flag]

Death lord train pack, meaning extra fast and might/fana. Ok's, I use sorc but I have to remove mercs weapon if they spawn at wsk3, and put it back on just because many of them are fire AND cold immune, so my fireball/orb sorc can't finish them off.
Baal, usually he is calm, but when he is pissed he justs burns my mana, shoots me to the walls and makes copies of himself...
Dolls+the guys who resurrect dolls in throne room are just lame.

[monad]

U know the ones u cant get a lock on cause they jump over yer head. area spells and guided are good for them but any melee char ive ever used just cant kill them all i usually just walk away.

[Silkweed]

1. Oblivion Knights. I have a slight preference for melee characters (Assassin and Barbarian), so IM can mean instant death at any given moment. If I see OK's, it's an indication that I can't just rush in blindly as usual and pummel things with DTalon or Frenzy.

2. Undead Stygian Dolls. Specifically, the ones in the Flayer Dungeon. Unlike their cousins from the Durance, the ones from the Dungeon will IGNORE your mercenary at all times and always go for you. Aside from doing disproportionate amounts of damage for their size and speed, these little effers can empty as much as a fifteen hundred hit points upon exploding. I hate them with a vengeance.

3. Gloams. Hell, I hated these before 1.10. Now that they're bugged it's just a gamble for some of my characters. Everytime I get to the stairs to the Throne with my Necromancer in Hell, I have to accept the possibility that if there are gloams and I get caught in a little bit of a crossfire, I will see the deeds screen. Fortunately for my Assassin, there's T-God's.

4. Skeleton Archers. Any variation on them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. For some reason, Blizzard decided to give all ranged attackers ridiculous amounts of damage and attack rating, and since they're all undead, they can't be leeched back for life or mana, making them manageable only through hit and run tactics.

5. Ghosts in Hell. Immune to physical + mana burn + serious damage = very difficult to kill for melee characters. Berserk can't cut it because as soon as you get your first one off, they hit you with the defense down, and then your mana pool is gone and you're dead in the water for hurting them. Oh, and minus any defense rating. Atma's Scarab only goes so far.

6. Mummies. Stop raising what I just killed... Stop poisoning me...

Too many more to list. The things I like to kill are things I refer to as "straight melee" monsters. In general, I consider something as straight melee if I can leech from it, if it cannot be resurrected, if it is medium to large in size, and if it doesn't have a ranged attack, but broadly speaking, it just refers to anything that dies nice and easily. Zombies, rogues, huntresses, treehulks, venom lords, blunderbores, hell knights (the ones before the CS), enslaved and death maulers for example. They just feel so good to kill. With frustrating monsters, it's more of a chore.

[Tao_of_Xero]

probably not the most annoying although they did almost kill me once, because I didn't take them as a threat...when you kick an urn or something in act II, those little ghostly swords or whatever :lol: almost killed my zon in NM because I didn't think they could do any real damage. Other than that, Black Rogues or dark archers, (whatever they are in the Pit) especially with fanatacism/might. I hit a threesome boss pack once with my summoner necro, dark archers,fanat/conviction/might.Save&Exit anyone?

[MoUsE_WiZ]

How has NO ONE said flayers yet?!

I mean, they're not dangerous, and it can be worthwhile to run the flayer jungle with certain characters, but DIE DIE DIE HATE!!!!!!!!! BURN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneon etwo

calm down o_o

we've all had our days of running around killing those little .....s, we don't know why we feel the needs to go kill a monster that gives us next to 0 exp and does hardly any damage to us... but we still do it

:grrr:

[kurg]

How has NO ONE said flayers yet?!

I was thinking of them this whole thread. They're so damn annoying because I usually think they're dolls first, and I crap my pants, and then I realize they're just flayers. Then I have to go change underwear.

Baal's clone is rather annoying too.

I used to hate beetles, but since I played my conversion/thorns pally I feel sorry for them. They do insane damage to each other when the lightning from converted ones hits the unconverted ones. In other words, they're highly affected by their own discharges, the poor buggers.

I actually like the flayers now especially in worldstone keep.
They can't run far anymore unlike in their usual home in the jungle.
I love mowing into the huge packs with a hammerdin. Gives me satisfaction and I love their death blow stun animation.

My worst enemy so far has been the infector of souls in Normal. hes killed a level 42 and 35 of mine both with maxed resists. I noticed that sometimes if you walk up to him and his minions he just dies easily but every now and then for some reason he just lights you up.

Its these kind of things that do a Hardcore player in. Some area you run over liek a mac truck 99 times out of 100 but that hundredth time the boss has juuust the right mods is sitting in just the right place you arent being too careful cuase youve done it so many times and BAM! Deeds.

By the way, I don't fight the infector anymore. I kill from a distance or with a merc (which seem to have no trouble at all doing him in.)

[det]

Obviously you have chosen all the real nasty (I am surprised that there isnt a 100% vote on Gloams).

For me the monsters with the biggest "This can't be true" factor are quill rats in the 1.10 patch. Priceless to see a party memember entering hell and be slain by the first quill rat boss pack in the Bloodmoor.

Or when they are at the Frigid WP?. Poison, Cold, loads of them, piercing you from all sides? Ouch...those evil little hedgehogs :lol:

Others than that it becomes a matter of character. E.G: my sledgehammer zon had a hard time wading through all the maggotspawn in the River of flame, since she has no crowd control skill...Harlots are a pain for casters with the Blood mana curse

[xeyloderixed]

BURN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneon etwo

this is the reason i like em, they burn to easy (or in my case, they like poison)

[Zavior]

My history teacher, no doubt.

[Mert1]

pk him

as to monsters, souls are the best. Speed + dmg = pwnage. I was pwned in 1 hit after leeching to 79 in baal runs ^^.
And venom lords killed so many brave cs run leaders (last time it was 35 dru in norm, cleared cs thnx to him, tried to fight Infector pack, died)
When 1.10 came out, I was most scared of Grizwold

[toutim]

Normal act 2 summoner's firewall lags my comp.
and it hurts, plus it's a shame to die to this critter. :rant:

[ventilator]

Apart from the monsters that were already mentioned I'd definitely include the PI type of Succubi. Trying to zerk them one by one, with them flying away, amping you and dealing ridiculous amounts of damage with their red puffs of death (tm) is not funny anymore for a 2h barb, even when applying generous amounts of Warcry. Bosspacks with might/es/manaburn are downright scary.

Also the PI Ghosts in Hell Arcane are most nasty with their manadrain. Killing them with a non elemental meleer is a task not to be taken lightly.

I love Flayers. As far as I am concerned there should be more flayers everywhere.

[ZappaFan]

The unique monster Empty Beer Fridge. Especially when he has the Super Dry Thirst aura. :D
