Picking a small guy today. Lets look at the Dreg from the Fallen group. Small, quick, and weak. One by itself is not an issue, but get a group of them with multiple weapon differences, you will have you hands full. Dregs are one of the few monster types that can have and use different weapons. They are either grouped with other Dregs, vandals, captains, and shanks. Even with a low light score these little guys can be one shot with melee ability or a good weapon. This is truer for higher level toons. Weapons: They will use either the shock pistol or shock rifle. Pistols are a simple projectile and rifles homing in on targets. In heroics or during events that call in "elder" versions they will also use shrapnel launchers. They also have knives they will melee with. Though the Dreg is more ranged and dodgy, there are some that will melee or will take their chance when you venture close enough. They don't hit hard even to a hunter or warlock, but if you are trying to get low to recover from a hard hit, check your corners. Speed: These guys are one of the faster mobs you will face. Even while they run backwards to keep an eye on their target, while moving forward they can get into position quick. In a group they will typically have a few break off and hide in blind spots, while a few go into the open and draw out targets. This way the hidden ones can attack from a safe distance while their buddies faces are being punched in. They do this a lot with Vandals that are sniping. An elder Dreg can out pace a target that has little to their speed. Communications: Bottom line these guys yell and are the alarm of the group. Think of a dog when the door bell rings. How to handle: Whether you are fighting these guys in patrols or handling "elder" versions these guys need to die first. Like any other game, when there are a lot of little guys they can quickly overwhelm targets if ignored. Elders using shrapnel launcher are a prime example. They are easily killed so just mop them up quick. If chasing one down, just be mindful of a captain or an elite that they might be running to. Also since Vandals cloak, make sure you aren't running into a group of those guys. Since they like to hide, they will keep an eye on one side of the pillar or box they are behind. They do not check their rear, so when chasing, go in the opposite direction to get behind and kill. Personal Note: I love punching these guys. They sound like they are choking on their teeth I just knock backwards as they fly across the ground. The small simple things in life that I enjoy. Grimoire: Tier One → 400 kills, Tier Two → 1000 Kills, Tier Three → 2000 Kills. (I think this is dated, but it's close to what it is now)
