Guild Wars 2

Apologies if this is already well known – it’s my first time on chrono this weekend so I was keen to test this out and surprised that it works.

Pretty simple combo which works more like a thief’s Shadow Step stomp, just with an initial setup using F5.

Just hit F5 while stomping – blink away somewhere (and phase retreat too if you like I imagine, although I haven’t had the opportunity to fit it in yet) – F5 back to land the stomp.

Edit: Just checked and you can do F5 – phase retreat – blink – F5 to land the stomp. Interesting uses when trying to stomp in places like Forest Keep etc.

Ok not the most practical use of F5, but a fun one nonetheless.

So like port stomp or the older phase retread + blink stomp? I like!

Yeah except with F5 you have blink and phase retreat available again immediately after stomping.

Depending on how many buttons you can press in the short space of time while the stomp animation is playing, you could also blow F4 as well if you like, among other things.

It’s much more like the thief’s shadow step stomp seeing as you have to blink away and split back compared with our old portal or usual phase retreat/blink stomp.

On a fairly large CD though…
I feel like there are more useful things to do with F5.
But it looks fun I give you that.

I have been enjoying doing that aswell this beta weekend ^^ It’s Time Travel stomp! It’s pretty neat to get away from the heat every now and then!

It have tho, also showed that F5 sometimes bug out when they kill the little token thingie, and I don’t return to where it was! :/

Very good point and the one big downside.

I haven’t tried in fights with a ton of aoes or other damaging mess laid down around a downed enemy enough to destroy the rift.

I’ve not yet experienced it bugging out to return to a different location though – that must be annoying. :/

To be honest I never seem to use my F5 ever. Like I have no idea how to use it effectively in most situations. This seems easy enough to get some use out of it, though, so thanks!
