Guild Wars 2

I’ve been seeing a lot of griping that platforms can’t help each other. This isn’t true. Last night, my team and I took out two champs in one run – one on our platform, and one on our neighbors. It didn’t really help, because the neighboring team was already flattened, but we claimed the moral victory.

The trick is to use large range/radius effects that don’t require line-of-sight. Guardian Staff 1 and Guardian Shield 4 are some examples of things that will reach across the gulf and strike an enemy near the edge. Shouts and Spirits should also work for allies in range. There should be other tactics that I’m sure someone will follow up with.

Generally, you shouldn’t assist the other team at the expense of your own. More often than not, the neighboring platforms’ occupants are going to be out of reach, so you could end up waiting a long time for them to clue in AND the champ to cooperate. But it beats standing by and thinking you can’t do anything.

Pack that skill bar appropriately!

i usually rez other people platforms if they die near the wall, with my warriors banner of war. Also fire areas work good for damage that’s because if the enemy enters the area but then leaves, he will be burning due to the condition effect.
