Storm Atronach and Mother Wisp are very very very close. The red circles are hard to avoid especially in dungeons, especially when she summons her clones. Giants are really tough but they feel like Storm Atronach clones without magic. What really makes Storm Atronach so power other than being immune to virtually everything is a Swipe attack that can hit over 15m away (outside of the graphics range) and leave you running in circles trying to counterheal.

There really is no intelligence or strategy involved. There is nothing you can do. You are just completely screwed and the monsters aren't hard as in difficult challenge; they are "Dreaded" as in every time you see one you just want to log off for a month and not come back. "Hard" like a Calculus class, you are bored and frustrated. Not a good gaming experience.

Storm Atronachs. The other creatures do not even deserve to share the title of most cheapest and dreadful. All those enemies can be defeated with some tactic/kiting/resource-management.


Except the Storm Atronach. The only strategy with them is to pray they attack someone next to you so you can have a second outside of their 15 meter melee range to catch a breath.

Storm Atronachs by a landslide. I can solo all the others on this list. Storm Atronachs are just beasts.

I have to go with Storm as a final. With VR10 Skeevers a very very close 2nd.

However, there is one area of VR10 Gargoyles in Bangkorai... Laurant got Stibbons turned to stone, and you need to escort her to harvest a gargoyle.... Now my sorc is DC and I don't recall any issues back in regular. My AD NB in VR10..... I just can't do it. For some reason those specific gargoyles can't be knocked around, as she had done to others from level 1-VR9. It also has a ridiculous melee range - even while dodge rolling away she catches that claw/bleed - over 800 hp gone in a matter of seconds. Despite the changes with 1.2.3 to medium armor, and not using any stamina abilities, that thing just resists too much damage that it lasts too long - she still runs out of stamina from rolling and sprinting, even with all passives.

The one and only gargoyle in the entire game I just can't solo.

But seriously, those Wisp Mothers - I will skip them to if I can. Veeery annoying....

Stormies. Although 10 whispmothers spawned on me the other day. Never had that happen before. So they are now in the running.

For those of you having trouble with Wispmothers, the trick is focus, focus, focus. Do not stop attacking the Wispmother. Don't get distracted by her wisps, her clones, anything at all. Just stay out of the red circles and burn that mother down.

My preferred method is screaming, Oh God, oh god, oh god! She saw us, run, run run!!!

The Daedroths are pretty scary in this game. Big lizards that breath fire. I was creeped out when I saw them.

So agree to this, I thought it was just to Gargoyles overall but found out it was just this specific area that behave this way. Along with rapid respawn of the goblins around it didn't help and the short leash they have so kiting made it even harder on these. Also they see right thru NB's invisibility.

Yeah Mother Wisp if you can stun and kill them fast your ok, but once they start chain casting wisps and splitting it makes it hard to target and counter.

Me too. I love the look of them. And was phreaked the first time I had to fight them. But they fall into the the group you can cc so they are close to a nonthreat

That is because now they can break out of CC it is so annoying agree.

Gargoyles

Gargoyles are the hardest to kill. Pretty easy to escape though compared to SA. Gargoyles require the greatest sustain both in dps and hps and are almost impossible to solo in high VR since you run out of something at some point,being a NB with maxed out alchemy and nice pots helps but still hard.I can take a VR10 SA in 30-40 sec (or I die) but Gargoyles take much longer.

Most dreaded monsters to date are the developers and coders.

I spout profanity like a drunken sailor whenever I have to kill a Storm Atronach! They are ridiculously over powered and just take the fun out of your day.

I use a NB archer who relies heavily on speed, stealth, interrupts, and CCs, and with storm atronachs, none of this is possible. They are immune to CCs, interrupts, snares, knockback, their lighting slows down My movement speed, and it is also damage over time, which prevents me from using shadow cloak to escape. trolls USED to actually scare me, but I developed a way to fight them, and even managed to take on a small group by myself. wispmothers don't really annoy or scare me, I have not fought a lot of gargoyles, so those idk. everything else is easy to me.

Storm atronachs.

I run into those random events all the time where you see a 'summoner' npc open a portal and then a monster comes through that you have to help kill. When it's a flame atronach, or a frost atronach, no problem - kite them around a bit, or even facetank depending on the class/character i'm playing, and I can take them out with reasonable effort.

When that summoner conjures up a storm atronach, though, I flip him the bird and keep riding. The storm atronachs seem to have several times the hitpoints and damage resistance that the other two types have, and they dish out drastically more damage, to the point that I often get killed in only two or three attacks. As anyone that doesnt have heavy healing on their action bar, you're not going to survive that.

I just dont get why they decided to make one type of atronach so disproportionately more powerful than the others.

I can't seem to remember fighting a VR Titan except for some quest in Cyrodill
which isn't really VR with messed up damage and hp like in VR zones post 1.1.2. So more or less everybody fears skeevers more than Titans.

Storm Atronach as it does good damage, is cc immune, not that bad of range for a short range unit and has decent hp.
