Guild Wars 2

This is admittedly a trivial issue. That said, does the Great Jungle Wurm Finisher have a longer animation than most other finishers? It seems that I am able click my finisher and go into the animation, but 9 times out of 10 someone else will start after me, plant their finisher and nullify mine. Maybe its just lag, dunno.

More importantly…does the search feature in the forums ever give good results? All I get is, “No Results Try a different search term.” And before it is asked, yes I do look to see if I’m searching the forum, subforum, topic. Thanks.

All finishers take the same amount of time to cast. But due to lag or specific animations it can appear as if other people can instantly stomp someone.
For example if you stealth and then stomp someone, then the animation will first start when you get out of stealth.
The player will be dead, but they will have seen it as if you first casted the stomp when you got out of stealth.

And no, the search feature is completely broken.

^all of that and…
The buff quickness (not speed boost) can speed up the stomp/finish, such as a Mesmers Timewrap. So it’s possible that someone who starts after you can finish before you do.
