Guild Wars 2

Hi
i’ll talk a bit about Chrono F5 and how good players use it
Simply they use F5 and shield 5 to stun and moa after to make sure the moa ‘ll hit and spaming shatter all the shatter but the real good players doesn’t use moa till F5 comes again so he’ll able to use moa every about 60 SEC and the real moa CD is about 3 min and keep it like this all the game now why only i talk about moa ? cuz moa is the meta right now the other elite skills still usefull but not like moa .
now u guys ‘ll ask me that u want exactly ?
i’ll tell u what i want :-

simply when F5 active elite skill ‘ll turn off directly just like rev F2 with quickness skill so he’ll able to use all his kills but without elite skill .

if u disagree pls write why and thx

The devs don’t want it that way.

Take it up with them.

Nah, i don’t dodge moa – i moa those who don’t dodge

Moa is kinda usless in 1v1 if Mesmer won’t use sword’s immobilize…even if you didn’t dodged you can still keep dodging + moa skill 5. Current moa for me is legit – it’s worth using and with brain you can counter-play it.

I personally think moa is a cheap skill. I’ve never even put it on my bar for that reason. With that said, I think F5 is working as intended and it’s okay as it is. With future specializations, it’s possible less mesmers will be running Chrono trait line and won’t even have access to F5 anymore, and possibly not even moa. And I’m someone that never ever dodges moa. I honestly never see that animation because there’s so much going on. It is very hard to dodge. As someone pointed out earlier about it taking brains. I would never insult anyone by saying that. But it definitely takes very keen eyes just to spot that animation in the midst of the circus that is gw2 pvp. It’s a light show. But still, I don’t have complaints about it in regards to how Moa functions with F5. The skill itself is cheap. 3 minute or 1 minute cd, it’s just the nature of the skill to annoy you.

I would suggest it be given a more noticeable animation, instead of that little glow in hands.

Have to agree with hotboy, most of the time i use moa, it’s because the enemy got 2-3 nekros or eles

The only thing Moa is guaranteed to do is get you cursed at. It’s good to shut 1 person down for 6 seconds, if it hits (with all the passive blocks/invulns, etc. dodging not necessarily an issues). I use it from time to time on my alt Mesmer, which I currently use to test various builds that aren’t like my main condi/shatter, and it inevitably will draw ire from someone when it lands (especially if I can get it to land more than 1 time in a match).
Anyway, this season has been full of surprises, one of which is getting Moa’d by an engi, which has happened on more than 1 occasion this season, so far more than Mesmers I have faced (which I am not seeing a lot of tbh). Engi Moa doesn’t last as long (3 seconds), but I believe it’s still aoe (up to 3 targets and has a range of 900 – not bad for a utility – certainly one Batman would be proud of). I never expect it from an engi, but I am always expecting it from a Mesmer when I see has SoH.
Certainly Moa is not a guarantee kill, but it does force you to disengage and furthermore, it takes you out of your progression which really is annoying. I personally don’t have an issue with it especially now that its only 6 seconds. I can certainly see where some would see it as “cheese” but it does what I think it’s designed to do: shut down 1 person 6 seconds. I will say this one more thing, sometimes, it’s still somewhat gratifying/hilarious to see Moa hit though – it has trolling value like nothing else.

moa animation with quickness plays after moa effect was applied, just saying…. gl dodging it unless you predict it
