Guild Wars 2

Was it always like this? Or were the skills buffed at some point?

(Not talking about casting-while-moving buff)

Like what? it does massive dps… not to mention the huge mobility. if you dont have a target #4 leaves a trail of fire which if you run in to an enemy that is immo it will almost 1 shot them. on top of that it kills wow siege very good and the treb in pvp it also gives good stat boosts. the only problem i can see is that it does not proc sig of restoration cause its a conjure. and thats not even a problem for me cause i use ether renewal

I know, yes I was talking about #4. I just discovered it.

Wow is all I got to say.

its hard to use cause u have to immo/ stun but if they get near a wall gg. #4 is a great move wen not targeting but wen targeting its pretty bad

It’s very easy to immobilize them for full burst.

I once ate the full retaliating damage of my own fgs#4. It was roughly 40k. So be careful with that. Ha!

Hmmm…. this sounds like something I’ve seen before.

Be very very careful using FGS #4 into a group of enemies in WvW…. I instantly downed myself due to retaliation, lol.

It always being like that since beta.

Not sure I understand that statement

You get mobility from fgs #3/4. IF you do not target an enemy and you use #4, you will run and leave a trail of flames behind, ifyou do target one you will leap to the enemy with no trail. so, if you have the assist setting on, you cannot run through an enemy, you will walk in to them because of unit collision. So if you immobilze an enemy and use #4 when you do not target them, you will stack all the fire in one place and do massive dmg 1 shotting most classes

Eles, have at this moment only 2 viable elites.

FGS has not changed much except for being able to cast it while running and having a bottom indicator on the total number of times the FGS can be used.

FGS should be used as a panic card unless you are a staff bearer. FGS vs DnD ele, the DnD ele has far more utility.

But with that said you can use the FGS best for the following scenarios

1) To destroy noobs
2) To destroy gates
3) For escape.
4) To catch a noob
5) In a 5v5 situation where u are fighting noobs , pull out that FGS and help melt noobs
6) To take camps
7) To destroy golems
8) To harass rabbits

the only reason i use fgs is against noobs, or if i get in a sticky situation illl go in to ele and rtl out in to fgs and spam 3/4

and i agree fgs on a d/d ele that is most likely using sig of res is useless

You guys are forgetting to mention the running into a wall part with figs #4 skill, that’s the only way to stack ALL of the DPS from fgs. Moral of the story? Don’t stand near a wall when fighting ele with fgs

The first reply said it already…and like 3 others before your post -.-

since they nerfed D/D in www fgs is still the only skill that could let you escape a fight.

There is no way to outrun most other professions with D/D skills even adding a traited lightning flash.

Its also useful to reach you are zerging and for any reason you got behind…..

Best use of FGS:

Step1: fiery rush (untargeted) and lightning flash onto a downed body = instantly kill said person and all rezzers.

Step2: profit.

I play ele myself and think its funny sometimes but to be honest, it’s a terrible overpowered exploit and it should be fixed…

Nah .

l2p issue bro

Wait until you see the snow leopard form used by warriors in fractals.

(x . x)!!!

By the ways, I always amuse myself by using FGS on the ooze boss in the Thaumanova fractal. It either kills the boss fast or wipes our party fast. It’s another way to troll.

8) To harass rabbits

As far as I’m concerned, this is the sole legitimate use for a FGS.

In this case Warrior Greatsword being used for mobility is an exploit and needs to have its cooldown equivalent to ride the lightning.

I’m extremly (negative) surprised about how much everyone tries to defend the glitch. :/ It’s fun, but .. well it’s really just bugusing.
