Guild Wars 2

Sup Guys!

Figured we would share our POV with you all, see what its like from the perspective of one of the other teams.

Mistakes were made but I’d like to think we played pretty well overall.

my mic is set super loud in shadowplay for some reason. so turn down your volumes caus kittens getting loud.

Anyway, heres the playlist (2 videos still processing)

+1 at least no camera shake this time

Feelsbadman, I had to turn off my camera shake because the community isn’t ready for this kind of mechanisms yet

So none of the teams that used a necro won a match.

LF revenant pov
Thanks for sharing this though

I was looking at frosty’s videos. In none of Frosty’s videos does a necromancer team win a match.

I demand to have you put camera shake back on! The immersion is ruined now!

btw care to explain why Electric Wyvern over Bristleback? does its attacks hit more than a single target?

Both its active skill and one of its passive skills are CCs. Bristleback has the strongest F2 burst but otherwise is pretty weak and is completely controlled by projectile denial spells. Druids with Bristleback are pretty weak versus an ele/engi combo. Even necro shroud 2 can (if the necro’s lucky or very observant under pressure) absorb Bristleback F2 lol.

Reaper’s Shroud 2 does not destroy projectiles. The tooltip is wrong.

Basically this. The electric wyvern has the potential to lockdown someone for a few seconds (wing buffet —> headbutt is also the most surefire way to guarantee headbutt wil hit at all at the moment)

Apart from that, the main reason I even took it in the first place was because of zans new engi build bringing enough reflects to be a full hardcounter to bristleback.

Hmmm, I honestly don’t know the exact interaction here, but Shroud 2 has definitely absorbed projectiles before.

Yes it absorbs projectiles, you cant headshot them when they do #2 in reaper shroud.

I have on several occasions been headshot out of RS2 (and no they did not have basi) in addition to being point blank shot, pin down, unload, and all other manner of projectile attack.

If it destroys projectiles, it’s buggy and unreliable.

Speculating purely based off of the animation it may be a directional projectile block similar to dragon Hunter f3. Basically blocks projectiles from the front but not the rear. Need testing though.

RS2 works for every projectile, even those that comes from behind. Its perfectly reliable and only the first frame of the animation can be interrupted by headshot.
