Guild Wars 2

It’s funny how ArenaNet makes it so you can’t FGS anymore and instead give that ability to the teragriffs. Run in place, some 15 packets of damage per second, yeah…. nice way to stick it to the players lol. This is what we call irony :P

What is FGS?

The wiki and a google search suggests Fiery Greatsword, but that’s still in the game so it can’t be what you’re referring to.

Nope that what they’re referring to. They’re referring to the FGS “nerf” where you can no longer use fiery rush into a wall and rack up massive damage.

Only if you play with the same level of AI as enemies in dungeons, lol.

I take full responsibility for this as I as well as a few other people have suggested that the AI be given an even playing field with the players including the ability to FGS people into walls.

Of course that doesn’t mean I’m gonna apologies as I’m kitten happy something like that is in the toolsets of the AI. Now what we need is more mobs doing it, imagine ascalon elementalists dropping ghastly firey greatswords for their allies and then ripping people into shreds in AC exp, oh the possibilities!!! WTB, chain stealth backstab, hambow enemies, bunker guardian enemies, turret bunker engie enemies, PU Mesmer enemies, terrornecro and verata style minion master enemies.

I actually bought gems during the start of the silverwastes.

EDIT: despite the suggested sarcasm I am quite literal when I said I am happy

*Goes back to WoW again!

I find it funny that one of my guildies referred to teragriffs as “those Fiery Greatsword reincarnations” just yesterday XD

It’s just mob’s revenge, seriously.

This thread looks very familiar, pretty sure someone already posted about this exact same thing (maybe on reddit, since I rarely check here.)

Maybe so, but this is MY thread so it’s much better

Or your client is being slow to load models as they spawn in and is prioritising players over the monsters that are actually a threat to you, so you don’t realise they are even nearby until suddenly you’re dead and then the two teragriffs render as they do the lambada over your corpse.

That said, in principle I think it’s a good thing for the AI to use our tricks against us… as long as we have those tricks to use in return. It infuriates me every time I’m fighting on narrow high ledges against monsters that just happen to have lots of knockback, when the monsters have immunity to being knocked off the ledge (not through stability or the like, just that they hit invisible walls before they fall off however weeny they might be) while we have to dodge/block every one or fall to our deaths.
