Least favorite mob in game: vent session

Knives of Artemis. Largely because of those damnable caltrops. 

 

With holds and focused fire, Malta Sappers are nothing.

Yeah, not understanding the sapper thing.  Maybe before they were nerfed and you could have several per group.  But no more than one per group can spawn currently, so just don't try to herd multiple malta groups.   At worst if I'm on a character that is susceptible to them (if I have bad energy/ranged defense, or no armor with endurance drain protection), I'll set up a bind to target them so I can instantly pick out the one that'll show up.  They are minions so they either go down fast or are mezzed fast. 

 

Edit: Now if the devs wanted to be truly evil they'd put in some boss level sappers.

 

Honestly, for endurance draining I have more trouble with freakshow super stunners as their end drain is auto-hit and if you are on a melee it isn't always easy to jump away from them in time.

 

My personal choice would be Nemesis for sure, assuming a big enough group where they end up with stacked vengeance.  They then blow through your defense and you better hope you have some good AoE attacks because their melee and ranged defense also goes through the roof.  Doesn't help that are also confuse resistant and quite a few of my characters rely on confuse (sappers confuse real easy btw 🙂 ).   Fake Nems can then bubble up and be annoying, and they also have annoying sniper units that see through stealth and hit you from across the map.

 

Special unusual and very specific call out to rikti monkeys when it comes to my masterminds.  Rikti monkey gas causes MM pets to run half way across the map unlike anything else in the game I've seen.  I think because the gas lingers on the pet for a good long while even outside the cloud and as long as it does they keep on running.  Something like caltrops on the other hand they'll stop running shortly after the patch radius.  I have to constantly be hitting the Stay button whenever I run into those stupid rikti monkeys on a MM.

Sappers are bad, m'kay?

No mention of Paragon Protectors, Longbow Wardens, or my personal choice Wailer Queens

I still don't know why the low-level fortunatas (10-15) have the mez protection they do. It's one of the rudest things to deal with as a levelling dominator back in live days, when you were funneled into arachnos plotlines and just got vaporised on the reg by them.
