Guild Wars 2

I have come to realize that my reaction time actually is kinda pathetic. Recapping the fights I had, I understood that I fight on rotations and timings. It’s almost like a puzzle, where I use certain chains of actions as a package queing them together in a fight.

Also my doges, evades and such follow a rotation or a feel of it being a good point in time to use it. Watching some of the videos I made of myself it sometimes looks as though I have amazing reactions. Although that dodge, shatter, blink or whatever just was due according to the rotation.

How do you fight? Are you reacting, do you do split second decisions or do you just simply, as I, follow your “inner programming” and do your rotations?

Fighting through rotations is not a bad thing. Since most of the time a good rotation will kill or really hurt your enemy e.g. Black Powder → Heartseeker → Steal → Backstab in my case or GS #2 → blink → shatter in your case.

That being said, knowing when to use your rotation is even more important. And even breaking your rotation can sometimes throw off your enemy.

In the end it comes down to knowing what your foe can do (his cd’s, boons, dodges) and reacting on that. Trying to save a boon rip for when a warrior has stability or waiting to do your burst chain until after your opponent’s protection has expired.

Honestly, I play like an idiot. That could be because I tend to use all my professions in wvw,(besides mesmer, hate that) and not get good in just one or 2. Or perhaps I just suck, the last one is quite possible.
