Was going through my recent recordings and noticed a couple that have some interesting things worth sharing.
In this first one, I find myself in the happy position of sneaking up on an enemy in an elevated position at the edge of a cliff manning an Arrow Cart. All I needed to do was use Point Blank to knock him off to a hilarious death…
Except, in my excitement at finding myself in this position, I failed to notice via the little icons under his name that he was a Guardian, and had Aegis up from his Virtue of Courage. So, my first shot was blocked, and the knockback failed. Doh! So while most videos people post are meant to show things they do well, this one is more of a ’don’t make this mistake’ case. Always take note of what effects are active on your target – mostly and especially when you have time like I did here.
Rest of the video is useful I suppose for showing how this trap build works – kind of a messy fight since I was expecting him to be canyon-mush, but it does demonstrate the build’s good amount of condition damage and mobility. Lots of dodging, protection etc – with the Elite in reserve.
This next one shows how the Norn Elite Leopard form skill ‘Prowl’ can be used to open up Stealth to the Ranger for sneaking into a defended area. The end result is not terribly good, but it does demonstrate how you can use this stealth ability in conjunction with hiding behind terrain, moving with the timer etc, to get where you need to be. What you do once you get there is a whole other thing.
One other thing this video shows – at one point I used Longbow’s Rapid Fire with the treb targetted – note how it only shoots at the base of the treb and thus the shots are obstructed, while there is another 20 feet of treb in clear LoS extending upward. Funny.
