Title: Soulvizier AERA - Elite groups
Post by: soa on 20 April 2020, 14:55:23

I create this topic for reference, to create a list of all Elite monsters in the mod.
You can contribute by sending pictures or videos of the monsters.

Elite monsters are tougher than normal, deal a lot more damage and have special skills and skin, with a green name.
Unlike champions (yellow name) or heroes (orange), elite monsters generally come in groups and that makes them more dangerous.
They can also have their own items : elite charms and MI.

The glowing moss from moss elementals.

The summoned elemental runs slower than the player.

The granted summon moss elemental skill has a couple hidden things about it

1: It casts briar ward, but has a long cooldown on it.
Standing in it gives the sanctuary buff, but it gives me +14 health regen.
Because of this, it seems to be the old sanctuary skill at skill level 3/8 instead of the new sanctuary that you see in nature mastery that gives % health regen instead of a flat bonus.
It does not have any points in stinging nettle because monsters attacking it don't get poisoned.
I don't know what level/how much health the briar ward itself has.

2: The moss elemental causes poison damage on it's attacks. It appears to be around 186 damage over 3 seconds.

I can increase movement speed.
Briar Ward should be 50% chance to cast every 12s, but he only tries when close to enemies.
Sanctuary is the vanilla +flat regen version (lvl 3/5/7 in N/E/L).
Stinging Nettle should work but seems to have a bug. The modifier is not placed as it should in the skill tree. Will fix that.
Poison damage is 189 ~3s / 294 ~3s / 399 ~3s in N/E/L. Will add a display for it in next patch.
I can also add the same for the fact he has 15/20/25% chance to avoid projectiles.
