Guild Wars 2

I need to bring to someone’s attention the overpowered combination that is potentially game-breaking in how powerful it is. My main character is a warrior running with a sword main hand and my friend is an elementalist. Together, we have done things I didn’t think possible for only two characters to manage through using this technique. My friend and I have extensively tested this two-person build, dubbed “Firestring” by our guild, and found that it is seriously overpowered. I’ll break down how to do it:

1. Have your warrior charge in and activate the sword main skill chain, ending in the skill “Hamstring”.
2. Simultaneously, the elementalist casts “Conjure Fiery Greatsword”.
3. The warrior picks up the fiery greatsword and uses the fifth skill, ’Firestorm".

I understand that a major part of the game is interaction between professions, but this goes TOO FAR. Not only will your enemy be struck with a hamstring attack to cripple your fleeing opponent, but then fire will rain down on him as he slowly limps away!

You should be rewarded for skilled group play. Wish my ranger could contribute on that level.

i dont even know what this thread is

Oh, the horror, two characters with specific skills can, with precise timing, skilled teamwork, and some brutal thinking, be quite capable of making flame-broiled steaks out of limited numbers of enemies who don’t bother to cleanse Cripple or use some other evasive measure to escape.

I wonder why you’d go to the trouble when you can just have a party with 2-3 eles, stack against a wall and hit the mobs with 4-5 simultaneous fiery rushes, with half the coordination

None of you got the GW1 reference. It’s pretty funny.

Well done i havent seen a hamstorm joke in ages.

Conjured weapons are an issue here. They’re too powerful. Just try path 1 and 3 AC with and without them.

do fullruns daily ._.
Everytime i can choose i log warrior because is so braindead i don t have to care much about damage.
Ele instead can die by trash mobs if you doen t pay attention.
(oh and wwwwg runs are not noticeably slower than eewwg, but are easier for sure).

Speaking of which, I thank the 1v1 built Thieves who keep attacking this lone, triple-sword, clearly DPS built Mesmer you see at a ruin or a camp. And who die when the Thief+Mesmer roaming-player-trap duo my GF and me play tightens the noose.

(Condi Thief + Lockdown Mesmer, you are loaded up on conditions, can’t do anything against them, and you cannot escape due to a plethora of incoming Cripple and AEs. Yes, purpose-built to kill solo roamers in unfair fights so they complain more. :P )

yay, Hamstorm still exists
