It's the little things that make it worthwhile.
Happened to me yesterday: Ranger vs. Mesmer, 1v1. Ranger downs Mesmer, but is perilously close to death with pet down. Mesmer keeps porting around avoiding the killing blow while still nuking Ranger. Ranger ends up downed as well. Now Mesmer and Ranger are spamming downed abilities trying to survive. Both kill each other at the same instant. Probably not too rare, but I was laughing my head off when it was done (I was the Ranger)
Another one from this weekend. We’re holding a tower. Opposing forces zerging the gate, trying to build a ram. Me and two others are raining arrow cart volleys on them. In about one minute, I got experience from 27 kills and collected 15 bags from around my feet Then they nuked the arrow cart out from under me, so fun time was over
Playing a various Stormspire alt – if it’s Stormspire, it’s probably me

My best moment so far in the game
About 3-4 weeks ago henge 10 golem rush us at Blue tower. Their zerg back then was pretty much a bunch of idiots following a commander. They approch the tower pop portal for golems to get to door fast. they kill the cannon, but leave the oil and 6 arrow carts alone. I jump on oil and 7% into door damage all golems are dead and the 5 of us that defended had to stop playing for a few min. because we were laughing so much at their stupidity
Posthumous (or post-down-umous, as it were) kills are the best. I bust out all the conditions, get downed, and watch as my opponent burns, bleeds, and is poisoned to death, all while locked in place and slowly trying to make his way towards me. When he gets close enough, I use the Engineer’s Grapple and Explosion to finish him off.
It doesn’t always work, but when it does, it feels really good.
