Guild Wars 2

so this in regards to primarily hot join matches for Spvp and while alot of folks dont consider this “real” pvp alof of folks really enjoy the aspect of jumping in a hot join and killing folks and stuff.

my biggest irritation with these matches is in a situation when they come upon 2 people a bad guy and a team mate who are both downed throwing gunk or laser beams at each other to try and pop back up …a person for some reason will first try and Stomp the bad guy to finish them off. of course the theory behind this is that if i stomp this guy my team mate will pop up!

my personal experience is that this is the worst way to handle the situation, now others may have a better theory or different beliefs but i for one will say Rez your team mate first. this gives you multiple people to stomp the other person, it also gives you back up if they are a warrior and pop back up with #3 ability and also eliminates the easy stomp by that same warrior who can now just continue killing with no threat of dropping.

another benefit of rezzing first is that if another bad guy comes in one of you can stomp the bad guy and the other can distract /cc/kill the other new badguy/guys again preventing the original downed badguy form getting a rez from new team mate.

i request that anyone reading this tell there guildies/friends/random puggers pls rez before stomp in almost every situation.

If you see someone trying to stomp (without stability, invis, blindness) instead of ressing, write “pls res, yolo”.

Problem solved.

well thats kind of why i am posting here so i wont have to spam type some garbage in the heat of battle:)

I dunno. Most people over the age of 20 that I’ve met would subconciously ignore anyone that uses “yolo” in any circumstance.

Baylife, battle rez for sure.

edit: inb4 Psychrome is conspiring against us for his own personal stomp point gains.

Well, for glory farming you better rez first then stomp other guy… Otherwise you dont gain the 10 pts from ressing teammate

But the problem is the game client gives priority to stomping… I mean if you are on top of your downed teammate corpse and ennemy is “close enough” for stomp, then F key will stomp and not res. Of course you can try dbl clicking your teammate but ^^

Res or stomp, hmm, i guess its situational. But yeah i find the priority system to be annoying at times, its something that needs to be addressed, be it a different key or multiple popup options, would save having to move around until you get the option to revive.

I don’t think I’d subconsciously ignore someone who says “yolo”. I’d probably wish I had a /flipbird and say a few unkind things about the downed fellow’s mom, but to say that my inner psyche would deal with this passive aggressively is just untrue.

regardless of glory points although it is worth more to do the rez first as well
its just tactically a better strategy and i dont really farm glory points i play to win so thats my stance on it

lol

Very well then sir, point taken.

lol

and even if the game prioritzes the stomp take the extra 40ms to click the rez

I love the whine, hate people who don’t res, refuse to res someone who says “yolo”.

Also it’s obviously a joke, if someone said “res pls, yolo” i would just laugh and then res them if i were able to. The irony of “res pls, yolo” is just.. genius.

Surely it’s situational. If you’re fighting 2v2 and you’ve just downed an ele but your friend mr guardian is down too, and you’re standing by the ele with stability, you’d instantly finish him as it would rally your ally.

If on the otherhand you downed a thief, and your guardian friend has gone down too, you’re not gonna stomp the thief for another 10 seconds anyway with the stealth crap so you’d get the guardian up.

It’s completly dependent on what class you’ve downed. Also depends on the class your ally is also as if they have an interupt, or an aoe interupt, you’ll have more chances to get him a rally on finishing a player.

Rez first for sure, but smack the guy on the ground a few times first or hit him with a bleed so you get some points if he cans it before you rez your teammate.

Stomp gets rid of him and resses at the same time. It’s situational.

If you ress your teammate, you both can stomp the enemy.
