Guild Wars 2

Recently there has been a lot of misconceptions about this ability on these forums. As best I can tell, it was because of a thread about how their tests revealed Rush to actually be 1550 range. This is false.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the distance Rush travels, most of them are related to the player’s movement speed. The out of combat movement speed is roughly 33% faster than the in combat movement speed, which will correlate into Rush moving 33% farther than if Rush was used in combat. This accounts for the 1550 range, as 1550 is about 33% more than 1200.

Thus I did my own test just to demonstrate that the in combat, unmodified range of Rush is in fact 1200. This was done without Warrior’s Sprint or Swiftness. I determined 1200 range by using Combustive Shot and marking the center with a banner. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAQ3LvLMwcM

The banner is slightly undershot, but it shows very clearly that the range is not 1550.

I already said that to the original poster.Great to see ppl coming to senses ^^

Rush out of combat = 1550 range
Rush in combat = 1200 range
Rush crippled = 804 range
Rush chilled = 600 range
Rush chilled+crippled = 204 range

Ill trade rush for RTL ANY DAY

RTL out of combat = 1200
RTL in combat = 1200
RTL crippled = 1200
RTL chilled = 1200
RTL chilled+crippled =1200

Now do one for Rush chilled+crippled+quickness. That’s a pathetic sight.

I hope you mean you trade it with a 40 sec CD and only 336 dmg instead of 628

I guess you don’t play a warrior. The skill misses about half the time on
stationary targets; don’t even think about hitting anything that moves.
RTL is at least 20sec when you hit something and that skill is reliable.

Yeah really. Rush does miss stationary targets half the time, and moving targets? Yeah no. Unless the target is stunned/immobed and right in your face, Rush does zero damage.

anyone see that video where the guy use rush on targeted walking enemy, he rushes backward for 1 second then rushes back. rush is mainly used for gap close and run away, because it misses too much, no one really except its damage. in that case RTL is better.
