Guild Wars 2

If you have any suggestions on how to be more effective or how to survive during skill lag, please share!

Just some ideas:

1) Toughness/Vitality gears
2) Instant activation skills (that still lag but at least they’ll activate sometimes)
3) Dodging frequently?
4) Auto-attack?

5) Pray. Why? Unlike the servers, at least God will hear them, even if he decides not to answer them.

If I know there’s going to be skill lag (AKA, “SM INNER 5%”), I switch to a healing signet. Something that passively heals whether it be regen, heal when you attack, ect.

Back up.

Build more ballistas.

Profit.

See, the enemy is just as lagged up as you, and they’re clustered like madmen in there. This is the perfect opportunity for you to just pierce through four million people with the ballista shot they never saw coming, at a range where you can still fire it without lagging too much.

roll a thief and roam around the terrain all by yourself. Problem solved, no more skill lag. Your Welcome!

Depends. When I experience skill lag I can’t do any attacks at all, including auto attacking and healing. Might as well log off or go try a less populated area.

Theres not really much you can do. Garrison has the worst lag imo.

Have all your ele’s throw down fiery greatsword because it has no skill lag

Lol, and i agree on this 1 Shadow Walker:p

But dont forget we are maybe 1% to raom around solo or with just 2 ppl. Infact i still remember U on me short vacation on Deso. Iam back home SfR again:P

But my point of few is different…..How long will GW survive with the skill lag our zerg-players have. They ( our zerg force) took the culling for granted a very long time now.
I am afraid they will not be this patience with the skill lag for to long.

Meself for example and the ppl i play with kinda instand ragequit the game when there is this much skill lag. I cant simply bare playing a game anno 2013 on a high-end machine with this kinda bs.

So the topic starter puts in totally wrong imo. I aint ajusting to culling….. fak this.
A-net better make this game playable for the zergs.
Couse for real, the truh PvP (wvw) players, zerg or smallscale will defo quit.

Just my 2 cents

Spam the auto-attack, go away from the core of the combat when you’re half hp (instead of staying there and using the heal skill) and heal yourself, since when you’re away from the “blob” you’ll be able to use all skills. Do not even try to use other skills which are not autoattack, they simple won’t activate/will activate too late.

Back up and spend your time staking enemies who back up.
