Guild Wars 2

on the other player, is there any benefit to hitting F for the finisher instead of just stabbing a player in a downed state? I do understand it will kill the other player regardless of how much health they have in that downed state but it takes 3 seconds and so far, I can typically kill them off fast enough. I’ve also had a bit of trouble when the other player pulls one of their down state tricks.

I’ve also been hitting F to loot and also activated the finish animation when another player was already doing that. Isn’t hard to break out of it.

I’ve also jumped into a fight and helped out. Does it really matter who does the finish move? Do we all benefit from something like extra loot or is it just to humiliate the other player?

ive found that you get more BOH for applying the finisher. so whenever I can I will do this over manually attacking.

In my experience I do tend to get a higher chance at loot by finishing a downed player rather than just spanking it down with attacks.

So whenever you see a downed player, try your hardest to run over and just spam F and hope that you can F the player in time to get a chance at loot.
