Mergoyle

Description
Mergoyle, the coastal version of the Ascalon Gargoyle, typically travel in packs with 2-4 other mergoyle. Being mesmers and not typically having any healers in their groups they fall rather quickly.

The primary strategy they use is to cast Spirit Shackles on everyone which will drain your energy every time you attack, then cast Mind Wrack on you so that once you run out of energy from the shackles you are dealt a fair amount of damage. Then, every time you get a couple points of energy back and attack them, Spirit Shackles will drain away those few points of energy and once again Mind Wrack will activate and deal 75 damage. It's a vicious cycle once you run out of energy. This strategy is very easy to overcome though: simply don't attack. Kill them with spells alone and they won't be able to do much of anything against you. These are level 14 and can be deadly if you don't expect them.
