Once I get into E3, I can add options on this one, but I'm interested to see: which mobs are the hardest for everyone to deal with? I have a feeling about who takes this one, but I'll leave it up to the Poll to decide. If I missed anything, let me know and I can add it.
My vote is for the Krete.

A lot of a Krete's damage is magical ... are you ignoring magical resistance spells like Piety Ward and gear to help protect you? This will def make them very hard.

I usually put a point or two into PW, but it isn't usually a focus- I go full armour/parry/dodge gear for my two tanks, resistance gear for my support, and damage gear for my Ranged attackers. My last fight w the Krete had Kyera and Vincent absorbing damage from three archers not very well mind you, but with Kyera using HP/resistance gear, she was taking much less damage...

It's really hard to say, because it can depend on the group and where in the group's development you are. My melee party just had their hardest fights with the Krete, but obviously long range attackers with lots of fords are going to be the bane of an all melee party. In episode 1 Deathkin were the worst, but now we just slaughtered one without taking much damage or drawing out the fight because we couldn't hit him. I think maybe overall it is the cultists with spawing spiders and spider hosts.

haven't voted yet, not sure who to vote for...
Ratkins can be tough in real large groups, i posted once about having such a large group attacking me that my tablet kept going into power saver mode before their turn would complete. The Krete can be hard because they can shoot from a longer distance than you can. The Cultist are very hard also... it's a hard choice to make.

This is a really difficult one, since so much of what makes a particular battle or enemy hard is situational. The Krete are definitely responsible for the most "first deaths" for my parties, though, so they will get my vote. There are some enemies in the City of the Dead that definitely give them a run for their money. Once you add those enemies to the poll, I might have to change my vote.  |

Those fricken forged spiders were the worst, because if you didn't kill them, they spawned more and more and more and MORE and.... aaargh

It's too bad the Spiders of the New-Father don't self replicate...

Still haven't made it out if act one, but I absolutely hate giant rats out of everything that I've fought so far. I can never hit them no matter how much accuracy I try to stack during that attack. I just tend to ignore them until everything else is dead now and try to keep them attacking someone with a shield.

fallen yeah, I throw Choking Ash and Ethereal Anguish on them, doesn't seem to help much. I don't mind that I change play style slightly a bit for them, just annoying that if they're the last guys alive, it will take me two full rounds of all four characters attacking to hit them enough to kill them.

Trolls so far. With their adrenaline rushes around the corner and hitting like trucks.
Forged spiders don't seem to pose much danger, but I haven't seen many of them.

Krete gets my vote because you have to switch tactics so much more with them than the others. Trolls are really hard to kill but they aren't as deadly imo.
I can't comment on the cultists too much yet I'm still picking my way through episode 3.

So far with my current gto up I haven't run into any enemies that have given me trouble. Into episode 2 I just pinning shot and choking ash and ea everything. 1 Ap enemies that have -parry and dodge stacked on em tend to do little to no damage and die fast, even kyera with 5 strength and 2 points in hammers hits more thaN 50% of the time! But for overall I'd say Krete give me the toughest time with most of my groups so theY get the vote.
