Guild Wars 2

My favorite moments in WvWvW are when my guild or zerg has broken through the enemy resistance and they start to run. It’s most fun to go after the stragglers or the ones that flee in different directions. Like an animal I stalk my prey, baiting them to use their escapes. I use the Staff auto attack to hit them fleeing, but secretly I’m just hoping they use their evades and dodges.

Once they are tired, I like to start with Spectral Grasp, bringing them back to me and dropping that sweet Chill on them. A few slices of my daggers and they’re running again, but not before I’ve hit them with Deathly Swarm for another quick Chill.

I let them get a few steps away when I lock them down with Dark Pact. Drop the Well of Darkness at their feet after some additional stabbing for more chill and some blind. Maybe switch back to staff for the 2,3,4 combo. Nothing like a bit of weakness to keep the endurance down.

Maybe the adrenaline’s kicked in now and they’re fighting back? Good time for a Reaper’s Mark to send them running and remind them who’s in control. Now it’s time for Death Shroud. Are they coming back foolishly for more? Doom then Life Blast. Are they running again? Dark Path then Life Transfer then Auto Attack.

They still up? Guess what’s just about ready again? Spectral Grasp and rinse and repeat.

Maybe they’ll try to escape to the water. Guess what still works there… that’s right! Spectral Grasp. And Guess what’s the perfect companion to Spectral Grasp…. Wicked Spiral is, especially if you pop Blood is Power right before it! Still running? Maintain your speed with Deadly Feast and keep them near you with Deadly Catch. Then if you need another teleport, Dark Spear. Remember though, Dark Spear causes you to be stunned for a second after you use it, so have Spectral Walk ready for the stunbreak so you can keep up with the stabbing.

Once all your spear skills are depleted, it’s time for more fun with the trident. If they break to run, use Foul Current to get to them, then Sinking Tomb to Immobilize then, then Frozen Abyss and drop with them. Hopefully you’ve got Life Force, if not, just use Feast, then pop into Death Shroud. Immediately I hit them with Dark Water to keep up the poison and blind them, then hit them with a Wave of Fear. If you’re full on Life Forces, Life Blast works nicely underwater now, or you can simply switch back to your trident and spam auto-attack. The range on the trident is so long and gives you that perfect feeling of watching the last fleeting moments of desperation as your prey runs from you.

7-8s Spinal Shivers into an Epidemic is just plain evil vs fleeing groups.

Then a thief just comes and two shot him while you were planning all these evil things. Bad thief, baddddd thief.

I’ve never been two-shot by anyone (though thieves with stealth are immune from stalking strategies above).

Flee, Flee you fools. Nah, I’m just kidding, you’re going to die.

Nah just kidding around, with the amount of skills/utilities you put out just to “play” with him, one would think he should be playing dead by now I wish we could bring our prey in the spectral world, so that no friendly thief could steal our fun.
