Guild Wars 2

Since the start of these league, I have notice that some players can finished off a downed opponent faster, faster here means the minute you see the start of the animation, the banner/finisher’s thingy is planted and the player is dead.

I feel like this is kind of a disadvantage to some players like how come I myself have to wait for the whole animation of the finished to finished off a players giving opponebt time to interrupt me? While other players just put up thier hand and you are dead.

Is this a bug, or was it crappy internet ?

Bad internet, lack of interrupts on your part would be my main ideas for why you feel this.
The only fast finisher in the game is the Thief Daredevil elite which can finish you slightly faster if started when you are down, or if used to actually down you can result in you dying very fast.

That said, you should record your gameplay and rewatch it with a stopwatch to see if finishers are occuring faster than intended. Bugs are not unknown in this game.

Speaking of downed and Finishing Blow I typically find kill priority goes like this:

1.Scrapper, once they get back into the game have a habit of staying there.
2.Elementalist, excellent group support but relatively easy to interrupt and down again.
3.Mesmer
4.Ranger
5.Warrior
6.Necro
7.Guardian
8.Revenant
9.Thieves.

Question: A revenant, druid, and mesmer are all downed with no reasonable expectation of them getting up (downed health in half for all of them), who do you use Impact Strike on? You have two other allies nearby.

A: 1.Whichever one is on the node.

(if all are off the node)

A: Trick question, let them bleed out leaving the match 2v5 for longer, but if you must then do a conventional stomp, there’s no need to use Impact Strike since you don’t need a fast stomp here.

i dont really know what this has to do with OPs post at all, but the answer is the druid, if you let a druid bleed he will get up with his pet (and as in your example rez the 2 others aswell) and if you interrupt the pet and cleave him, youre just wasting your time making the game a 4v4 instead of finishing him and making it a 5v4.

thanks for all the feedback

i am saying some players do the finish move real quick, like in an instant. teammate downed, i went over with my druid “Ancestral Grace” and kitten , they are dead. didn’t even see the opponents do any finish move. Sometime I use “search and rescue” but the minute the teammate gets downed the opponent manages to finished them off in an instant.

where as this just happened and am wandering should i report the incident as a hack.

Happened just minutes ago, probably 15 minutes now.
Is there a reason why I did the finish move 4 times (could have been 3x) and that person is unaffected. Then they managed to rez, and I downed them again, did 2 more finish moves and finally had to end them with arrows ….

Stealth stomp?

If there was a thief that had pre cast Impact Strike when the player was going down it is essentially an insta Stomp it’s pretty hard to time with all the get out of jail free cards people have but can be very effective, if it’s not pre cast it is slightly faster than a normal stomp but not an instant stomp.

I am sorry for asking thia but maybe they have blinded you? You know the condition blindness can be the cause of this.

And daredevils can insta finish with their elite as I remember correctly. Long chain but not that uncommon.

I will watch out if it is a thief from now on,
but this guy who can’t get finished was a ranger.
