Guild Wars 2

I was fighting one of the Smokescale enemies in that tight dark tunnel where they spawn with my hammer in the Jalis stance when suddenly all my attacks started missing (not blinded). I looked and I didn’t have any conditions or boons on me, and the Smokescale didn’t have any on it either. Now here is where it gets really weird. It suddenly just vanished, and in its place I was suddenly getting mauled by a pack of 5 or 6 Mordrem Wolves. I’m not sure if I my attacks were connecting with any of them, but I didn’t see any misses popping up, but they quickly killed me. I didn’t have any room to move and they were almost all flanking me. It didn’t look like I was part of any events.

Did anyone else have something like this happen?

That wasn’t Mordrem Wolves, that was the Smokescale.

That’s its special attack, basically using the smoke to cover it moving/teleporting around and ripping into you from all sides.

Nasty, is it not? My ranger wants one.

Yea I had this happen too. For me I walked down the slope a little bit and suddenly started hitting but I think the stealth and miss are a unique dynamic to the mob. Also the wolves that ganked you were ones that spawn during the event and run up the slope.

The tunnel where the smokescales spawn, they seem to be using the shiro form. Using impossible odds and stealth. And at the bottom of the tunnel a large group of mordrem wolves spawns and runs up the tunnel periodically, probably in relation to an event spawn on the map. Sounds like you got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeah, it did a teleport move similar to what Rytlock does with a sword in the HoT trailer. Sort of blinks around and evades stuff for like 2-3 seconds.

As far as the mordrem wolves, they were probably part of the event going on in the main area. When I was at the bottom of the tunnel killing the pocket raptors, I saw a whole group run up there. Then I went after them and that’s when I found the smokescale.

Ah, perhaps it was wolves, then. But still, it does a blinking move as I described. I got to experience that without the wolves.

Yeah, I’ve seen the blinking move, but it was just standing still, and I was smashing at it with the hammer and missing. Then it vanished completely and in its place the wolves appeared.
