Guild Wars 2

Fellow Players,

As a non-Mesmer player I need some education in how optimally use Moa Morph skills.

When one get turned into Moa, what can you do? What are these 1-5 abilities do?

I know you can (and should) dodge while Moa Morphed, but is there more to it?

Thanks!

New Moa Skills:
1) Claw: Scratch your foe.
2) Kick: Kick your foe.
3) Peck: First hit does a lot of damage, then 3 hits for about 30% of the initial damage each.
4) Screech: AoE damage3x + 3 stacks Confusion for about 3s
5) Flee: Super speed dash in the direction you’re facing.

An easy way to try them out is to fight the Mesmer NPC in the Mists, he usually casts it once per fight. None of the skills seemed to do a lot of damage, but I was a condition build at the time.

lol i haven’t studied it myself but i believe the only useful skill you’d have is the screech stun thing if you manage to land it but it takes a while to cast/wind up. The rest are dumb physical pecks and attacks that you probably can’t actually land. I think they changed the moa skills in the last patch so i’m not sure what the skills are now.

regardless it’s probably much more subpar than what a normal player can do so i would just say run and dodge and don’t try. just stay alive til it wears off LOL

This last patch they changed the moa skills into things that are supposedly not complete garbage. Although I can’t tell you exactly what to do because I haven’t tested it fully myself.

Some Mesmer reported that after they MOA’d their opponent, their opponent hit them for 3k then 1.5k as a MOA bird. That same M,esmer wasn’t sure if should try to kill their MOA’d opponent or run away in fear of dying.
