Talk:Graven Monolith

Images
Maybe we could upload screenshots showing the monoliths in their different shapes. --Sorcix the Lazy 10:23, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Afaik ther's more forms that the Monolith can aqcuire. I've seen some use elementalist skills too... Correct me if I'm wrong here


 * Unless you found a new breed of mono's then you would be wrong :) -- Xeon 05:53, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Mesmer Time
I'm gonna grab my mesmer and bring all three theiveries to see if I can't find something different. Also, is the paragon unable to change forms?

Lightbringer's gaze
Why Doesn't Lightbringer's gaze work on these guys--68.91.193.167 10:27, 22 February 2007 (CST)
 * Because the Monolith species isnt one of the types of creatures that Lightbringer's Gaze will effect. If you want a better reason you're gonna need to ask Anet. --[[Image:User-Saranis Green Dot.jpg]] 13:30, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Spoiler
I think a spoiler tag should be added to the Notes section, since it speaks of the end mission. Not in depth, but still... 139.147.136.205 22:41, 2 February 2007 (CST)


 * I agree. I did not want to find that out... Oh well, although its not that bad of a spoiler I think the tag should be added... -- 20:17, 6 February 2007 (CST)

Skill Recharge Bugged?
Either Graven Monoliths have some undocumented powers or then skill recharge on them (at least during the mesmer form) is bugged. I have done some LB farming in the Domain of Secrets and the Graven Monoliths there seem to use their skills without having to wait for recharge. That is especially obvious with interrupts. I have interrupted Crippling Anguish or Signet of Humility several times with the effect that the Monolith just reactivates the skill right away --Tmakinen 03:57, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Updated Picture
I took the liberty of updating the picture as it was too small and not a good portrayal of the monster itself. Dagotta 23:37, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
 * yes, but now it scales badly, has glowy effects we don't want, and doesn't have all three types. this monster is going to require an edited picture. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 23:40, 25 April 2007 (CDT)

Elemental Sword
I know that the Elemental Sword drops during A Show of Force, but is there any specific reason that it drops only there? Has anyone found it drop anywhere else?Killer Revan 15:34, 19 May 2007 (CDT)

armor
Using Malicious strike to test their armor, it seems that they're either weak against cold or all ele damage. Not including the 10+ bonus damage, Malicious did 36 damage using a phys-dmg scythe and 83 while using an icy mod. This was tested in their mesmer/paragon form.....I didnt have any other ele-dmg scythes to do more testing. As a wiki, it'd be really helpful to track these things....pve enemies tend to have unusually high armor making it helpful to know what they're weak against.

FC level?
Afre there any suggestions on their FC attribute level while in mesmer form? With the Signet of Humility now updated to 3 secs, it would be helpful to know, how long does it really take them to cast it... --Jorx 12:34, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

forms
i was gonna add a note like this:


 * Monoliths have another form that has a duration of roughly 4 seconds. Its shape is similar to a wall as shown in the skill image, so it likely has a defensive effect. They use it right after being aggroed.

but i'm not sure whether that's just the animation of the skill or another form with effects. i also saw them using it at around 10% of their hp. - Y0_ich_halt  contribs 16:23, 24 June 2007 (CDT)

by the way, isn't the kraken form mesmer just like the boss in boreas seabed? edit: ok, saw it. - Y0_ich_halt  contribs 16:29, 24 June 2007 (CDT)
