Is there a list of different enemy combat mechanics?

Hey everyone!

Some enemies attack with a basic melee attack,
Some enemies also use a heavy attack that can knock the player back
sometimes they also run backwards, and use an ability from a distance
other times they turn invisible and try to land a basic melee attack
And sometimes enemies do some kind of ramming move where they charge forward

those are just examples, but is there a full list, or youtube video, of the different types of enemy abilities? Or is there a way to tell what enemies can use what kinds of attacks?

are there any bosses that do a special types of moves that aren't seen anywhere else in the game?

People enemies tend to resemble classes and you can get a hint of how they’ll act based on their weapon and/or name. Monster enemies have similar/same mechanics wherever you meet them (ex. Liches like to make AoEs with chains coming out of them. Trolls like to make an AoE around them by slamming the ground.). World, Dungeon, Trial, Arena, etc. bosses may have specific mechanics but even then the consistency still does exist.

There isn't a list, but a few helpful tidbits. Some of their abilities are unavoidable, Roll Dodge won't save you from some effects no matter how close you get it to their cast animation. The one where they back up then throw something at you, if it's already in action it will ignore any form of CC so if you stun or immobilize them they can still back up and hit you. The enemies that lunge at you can interrupt Ultimate casts with a channel effect like Werewolf, it will cancel the transformation and consume your ultimate.

There is one cc effect that used to be a player skill called Agony, it was later replaced with Malevolent Offering, but NPCs still have it. I miss the morph Malefic Wreath, it was one of my favorite abilities for mowing down large pack of mobs.
