Guild Wars 2

You all know that moment when you’re trying to kill Svanir and then someone from the other team comes around, lands the last hit and they are getting all the points? Despite you worked the most on it?
I really think that Anet should change that :/

No.

I hate it when it happens, and I rarely manage to steal the kill myself, but it’s part of the map dynamic. It should stay.

the problem is not if someone steals the chief doing the last hit(legit mechanic), the problem comes when they are condis involved and the one who gets the kill is pure random

Don’t go Svanir and Chief unless necessary. Easy.
When I spot enemy player going for one of them I go and get easy kill.

If you don’t think you can kill beast easily and get the kill shot then don’t go and try to kill it. If match is even and you’re spending time trying to kill beast while your team is outnumbered and dying, then you deserve to get ganked at the beast and have the beast kill stolen from under your nose.

Yeah, it bothers me as well. However, if i recall correctly (i might be wrong though), a dev said that condis have higher priority than direct damage for the kill credit, e.g. if condi and power war attack boss, the condi war will get the credit in most cases.

No that not how it works.

It’s not possible for the boss to die from two things simulteaously. Damage is applied FIFO so it’s not possible for it to die from both condi and power at the same time, one will always occur first.

Also the RNG condi problem only happens in a very specific circumstances. Specifically the boss has to die from a condi that both teams have applied stacks of. That’s extremely uncommon, particularly given that condi classes are rarely sent to beast due to long dps ramp up time.

are rarely sent? same condi?
high percentage of games are pug games and more, high percentage of games are mid low skill rank, and in these games svanir is killed by the nearest player or the one who is “idle” to prevent the oportunity of the other team to go first and who goes to svanir can be condi or even a bunker and in much of these games necroes goes to dispute svannirs (increased chances to steal the kill: random condi tik+last hit+(multiple minions hits)), the condi thing is not extremely uncomon it happents hundreds of times every day, can be uncommon in high end organized matches but not in average matches
