Guild Wars 2

pretty sure it only counts for the earthshaker stun, shieldbash and skullcrack.
as you said, backbreaker and staggering blow are knockback/knockdown.

You could go test it out yourself…

How do you “test” crit %? You can’t..

Get 50% crit chance, knock someone down. If it works, that’s 100% crit. Repeat it 15 times. If you crit every time, it works.

lololol.
Get lowest possible crit chance.
Knock someone down.
100-b.

If you get more than a crit, it worked.

Yep, that works too. Lots of ways you can do it.

This right here man. The epitome of problem solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills.

A prime example of what it takes to be a top player in the GW2 PvP community, ladies and gentlemen. Take notes.

Honestly, I thought we were at rock bottom. Then this guy shows up and asks how you test something. I’m pretty confident he graduated from high school and has at least heard of the scientific method.

The inner workings of a warrior’s mind never cease to amaze

Shots fired.

Making a thread that’s not well-thought-out is one thing. Everyone flocking together to point that out is another. It reminds me of how proud top-tier teams are when they beat the pugs I’m in. Could we get a mod to shut down the thread? I don’t see it fostering any useful discussions in the near future.

I think when someone gets around to actually testing it and sharing the results this thread could provide some useful information

The point here is, it would’ve taken him 30 seconds to do the test himself and find out. Instead he makes a dumb, lazy, question that any remotely skilled warrior player should already know the answer to. For the record, the answer is no. And godkitten , you kids are lazy.

CC= crowd control

On enemy bosses they have defiant which immunes them to crowd control, however for each time they get hit with crowd control they lose one stack of it.

Staggering blow will not remove a CC stack. Crushing blow will not remove a CC stack. Earth shaker will. So a-net does not consider these skills CC…yet they have said they don’t mind warriors have lot’s of CC..but in truth they have only one by their own definition.(On hammer. It’s the f1 skill)

It is merciless hammer that does more damage vs disabled foes. Knockdown/knock back/stunned all count as disabled.

The issue is that he is on a “top-tier team” currently, and still said it. It’s a nod to the state of the game.
