Guild Wars 2

do u shroud first then stomp or stomp first then shroud?

i been trying both but cant do it

i been seeing very recent videos where necros do it =/

I haven’t tried it with my new setup, but with my old keyboard/mouse I would press both at the exact same time, with shroud being on my mouse.

i tried and found that you can do it by pressing both very quickly one after another, shroud first then stomp. it takes a sec for shroud to activate after you press it so if you press stomp quickly after shroud u can shroud stomp

u need to be very quick to press the stomp then open DS and its still not usefull, better stomp with plague or dont stomp at all

^^

Hit stomp then go into ds. Really only works when traited fitg.

Dont. It is a bug and will probably be fixed in 4 years or so… \ironie off

But if you really want to do it you have to press Ds and stomp nearly at the same time. But if you ask me i dont think it is worth the hassle in most situations.

Depending on anything you shouldn’t be the one stomping, necro’s are only meant to ensure pressure on the opposing team. Any necro who stomps isn’t really doing their job. What you should do is party up with your team and it should all be good.
As stated necro stomping should only be in plague form but as i said a necro shouldn’t be stomping they should be causing pressure on the opposite team and fearing respective member’s attempting to rez the downed.

i roam around solo a lot so knowing how to shroud stomp in 1v1 or 1v2 situations quite important to me =D
because sometimes plague is on CD and you need another stability or HP buffer to stomp the enemy.

Yeah, it’s stomp→shroud (I bound DS to G to make it easier to roll), but the other way round when plaguestomping.

Yes stomping is important in a 1v1 situation and even more so against a downed ranger. I’m by no means a necro pro goddess but the way to do the shroud stomp is to simultaneously stomp and F1 or whatever you assigned for ds activation. I did that in this 20sec video – http://youtu.be/m5ye_K_Jo2w

I did not have fitg.

i noticed a few posts saying to do it stomp then shroud.
my own experience is that it works only if you shroud first then stomp quickly.

for me its:
shroud then stomp
not stomp then shroud.

It will not be the same for everyone, it is a lag exploit and so depending on your own personal lag things will be slightly different.
