Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been wanting to integrate Slick Shoes into a build, but I have trouble getting the knockdown to work. I’ve been told that the “hitbox” of the knockdown is just behind my character’s model and that you can run over the enemy character’s model to trigger the knockdown, but it only works about half the time. What am I doing wrong, or was the info I received incorrect?

Hm, I’m not sure but I think the enemy has to try to move to get knocked down.

if they’re not moving, they won’t get knocked down

In case you didn’t know you can also use slick shoes in conjunction with rocket boots, as in you can leave the trail behind you as you jump over a group of people. It’s pretty fun to jump over a zerg knocking everyone down who doesn’t have stability.

Cool, thanks for the replies. And yes, I’ve heard about the combo with Rocket Boots but I haven’t actually tried it myself.

So I understand now that the knockdowns are triggered by the target’s efforts to move, but is there some kind of method to get the most knockdowns possible (running back and forth over the target, standing on the target, moving in a circle around the target, etc.)?

Sweetest combo for duels.

Tool kit shield (to get close range) → Slick shoes (draw a tight circle around your foe) → drop supply crate on their face → Prep yourself for the following conversation: “Engineers are OP because ____” (aka: QQ’ing)

Lol, true. Let me add to this a bit.

Don’t just activate slick shoes if you don’t have a CC on your enemy. Real high chance that he will literally just move away.. and not get hit at all by your slick shoes.

Use Net Shot first, or Magnet (my favorite) first. Make repeated tight circles around your enemy, while you’re doing damage. While unloading your damage on him, crate in the last couple seconds if you’re also mad.

It’s nice to use it with rocket boots and superspeed as an escape tool. It’s unlikely that they’ll be able to catch you.

God, it would be so cool if Slick Shoes + Rocket Boots left a fiery trail of knockdown and death. Or even cause an explosion at our feet knocking back enemies and giving us more distance. This is what Guild Wars 2 combo fields should be like.

personally all i would like is rocket boots to break immobilize for at least 1 sec i hate using it then immobilize hits you at the same time causing you to basically do nothing. And all breaks should do the same give us at least 1/2 a sec to gtfo whatever we break PLEASE.

Seriously Bro, even warriors spin to win evades for 3/4s and can be traited to break immobilize as well. Rocket boots really needs the same evade treatment.
