Seems like an exploit to me…

It was just recently nerfed. It doesn’t provide any benefit anymore, no.

And if you’re wondering, this was the “optimal” way to play D/D Ele for the longest time. I’m quite glad it’s no longer beneficial to Stow-Whip.

Glad to hear =)

Wasn’t a nerf, more like a fix, because it wasn’t intended to be abused like that.

I doubt it would have been caught nearly so soon if it has seen in uses in those tournaments that Anet finds so important.

I don’t think GW2 was meant to be a e-sport.
Not sure why Anet is so keen on it, sure the game has potentially good PvP, but…well, its not there.
MMO’s don’t usually tend to be very entertaining e-sport material.

I mean, the ESL finals has 5,000 people watching on Twitch, not very impressive.

We can only hope that focus doesn’t alienate too many players as the focus on that one aspect of the game isn’t really healthy for the game as a whole.

I would have to agree, there is too much nerfing going around, destroying classes that people enjoy playing, for the sake of pro play tournament balance.

The only people abusing stow-whip were people who were already dumping on everyone anyway. You can thank the one guy for the way fgs 4, fire staff 4, and fire dagger 3 work now for dumping all over the npcs in pvp with the burning tracks.
