MOBs you run from

SeaGtGruff

You're fearless. You're fearsome. You aren't afraid of Daedra, but they're afraid of you.

And yet, there's that MOB you always run from-- not because it's difficult to kill (far from it), but because it's just so darn annoying.

What is it?

For me, it's the Kotu Gava Broodmother. I try to steer clear of those suckers if at all possible.

Nice pun

I avoid wolves, because I hate snares with a passion

Crixus8000

I agree with wolves. When playing pvp I'm more scared of them than running into a zerg. Nothing is worse than a wolf hitting you, getting annoyingly snared and then being stuck in combat for 10 minutes.

i stay clear of almost everything now days as they are pretty much just a speed bump to what i am doing.

What's funny is when they follow you half a mile then stun or dismount you just to walk away pretending like nothing happened

Wall of elements or caltrops 30 meter before target solves this. They disengages then taking damage.
But yes this is very annoying espesialy if they CC you and run away.

Most Atronachs (Iron especially)...

On my main i slay normal trash mobs "on the go", but an attronach needs almost half of my rotation

Wolfes, I just don't want to kill them. Usually I fear them, and then go into stealth/cloak. Also I'm not fighting any trash when I'm in a rush. But bosses and harder enemies I fight for the extra loot. The shadow rider? passive from Dark Brotherhood really helps to avoid combat.

GhostofDatthaw

The ep horde on pcna

TheImperfect

Ice wraiths annoy me.

OK, confession time.. Not that they are hard to kill at this point, and he never runs from a direct fight- but my character seems to have a brief 'stop and freeze 'oh ****' moment' whenever he sees a harvester.

I think he was psychologically traumatized by the first one he ever ran into, which happened to be Doshia during the first week of ESO.

Though in the end he was victorious, it was a battle he wont soon forget and lets face it, back then Doshia fed very well off the deaths and fear of many new players.

Now of course, she is but a shadow of her former self. Time and the ZOS nerf hammer have not been good to her. In fact, and I say this almost sadly, the last encounter I had with her she was dead before she could even transform.

These days the only pita harvester my character regularly runs into is Ulguna Soul-Reaver (2cd mini boss) when he solos VoM. Not a particularly difficult fight, but a tedious one at that. If there is a way to skip that fight he would, but Ive never found it.

But still if possible, he will try to avoid harvesters if possible as memories of that first encounter always linger in the back of the mind.

Any swarming mobs, they're useless and annoying.

Vermethys

Stranglers... simply annoying.

MartiniDaniels

I just use them as anchors for gap closers to move as fast as possible, don't forget to slot snare removal though. If they start to bother you in huge numbers just calm them with some aoe.

On the other side when you are trying questing or just travelling adoring the landscape, they are real distraction,
useless vermins, I'm all in to reduce their numbers and respawn speed drastically. (keep delve bosses and quest mobs respawning fast)

Bruh but you have to dismount for that or let go of that expedition bonus

My biggest pet peeve is seeing players running away or through delves with a string of mobs chasing them without even trying to kill them. It is the one time I wish NPCs had better roots and snares.

I admit I'm one of those players (unless I'm on my magblade and just cloak through everything).
Can't think of anything more annoying and unrewarding than trash fights...

Holycannoli

Still avoid harvesters

bearbelly

I don't consider them annoyances, but I don't like fighting animals (it goes against my nature), so I will avoid bears, senche-cats, and wolves as often as I can. I'll also steer clear of mammoths for the same reason.

jecks33

Tigers, because i love cats and hate to kill them in game

mairwen85

Is stuga a mob?

worrallj

Those hunters in every public delve that throw bear traps at your feet while your just trying to sprint to the skyshard.

phileunderx2

trolls,ice wraiths, the murkmire cliff striders, those giant mosquito things and almost every trash mob in clockwork city I try to avoid. make the mobs hit harder and do less annoying cc.

I really hate dealing with wasps. You see a resource node you want to harvest and you think it's just outside aggro range from a wasp nest. So you sneak up to it, start harvesting it but a wasp somehow spots you and you have to spend the rest of your week killing wave after wave of wasps just so you can finish harvesting the node. I often just ignore resource nodes now if there's a wasp nearby.

ArchMikem

Any Humanoid enemy Nightblade that ALWAYS opens up with an Ambush stun.

Trash fights take all of 2 seconds in delves. I just spear, wall, run through them with my magplar - - no bother at all.

BomblePants

Orange wasps.... it freaks me out when they lay eggs in you..... just ugh.... the wiggly maggot things on your back then the baby wasp that you end up having to kill.... the whole thing is grosse

Nestor

Ice Wraiths and Spiders. The first because they dive under ground so you have to wait to kill them, the latter simply for the noise they make.

Time is not what's annoying me, it's the constant stop and go and pressing buttons.

(For the same reason nobody farms mats on horseback. The constant mounting and dismounting is too annoying, even in cases where it might be faster)

Came here to say Kotu Gava broodmother. Glad to see it was the reason for the OP

I leveled up Dark Brotherhood for the passive. Omg it helped.

If ZOS isn’t going to fix stuck in combat they should remove the wolves and other crap animals in the wild.
