Guild Wars 2

I’ve had a lot of these but I just had a very “LOL” one that I want to share and would love to hear stories from others as well.

Was having a little 2v2 skirmish in WvW, although it started out a 1v2. Me against a P/P Thief and glassy Dragonhunter.

I had gotten the Thief downed, but the Guard destroyed most of my health while trying to stomp because I hadn’t seen him coming/for some reason couldn’t cancel the stomp.

The Thief ported away and tldr; someone joined my side of the fight and revived me twice and the Guard revived the Thief twice. So it was kind of a back and fourth.

Eventually we got enough pressure on the Thief to win just about the time I downed for a third time.

The Guard went in for a stomp, I swapped pets to my Smokeskale and it landed enough crits to reach about 4.5k on him which was enough to down him as well.

Of course it was a pretty messy, clumsy fight between all of us but that clutch Smoke Assault from my pet just had me lol’ing.

Last night it also saved me from a backstab that I didn’t see coming. A Thief stole to me and I was hit with the daze, but as soon as he hit me, my Smokeskale immediately knocked him down which was enough time for me to react and kill him.

And lastly one of the most funny times I think, was having a very lengthy fight with a defensive D/P Thief. He was doing a lot of hit and runs. Eventually I got him in to a critical spot where he only had maybe 15% of his health left. He tried to range away from me, dropped his Pistol #5, I sent my Tiger in for it’s F2 attack and the Thief, mid leap through Black Powder, got nailed for 7k by my Tiger which took out the remainder of his health.

Anyone else got fun stories of their pets saving their lives? I don’t know why but it always puts a huge grin on my face when my pet is the one that screws someone over and not me, lmao.

My favorite was when I was leveling up my ranger solo roaming in wvw, had a human male thief with incinerator (you know this type!) try ganking me. In my last moment I used Take Root and was dropped. Guy didn’t even try for a stealth stomp or even a blind. Interupt, wolf, interupt again and by the time he realized he was in trouble from the massive bleed stacks from myself and plants it was gg.

But yeah, wolf is pretty insane troll for back fighting.
Some classes don’t have a prayer,
rangers, they don’t wait for a miracle rez from a passing by ally,
they make their own miracle rally with wolf being the corner stone.

Oh!

3 years ago while I was protecting a WvW camp, I ended up facing an extremly bursty elementalist. After a few bout during which he was kiting my pet, he finally unleashed all it’s burst cool down and I got down.

He then came to stomp me. But at the same time, while down, I used [F2] (I was using a bird this time and the pets weren’t nerfed yet). The elementalist as a good low life glass canon got one shot by the bird who finished him, and thus, saved my life.

This was the good days…

I miss the days when we could send our stealthed Jaguar’s up walls in WvW to kill people on AC’s ):

I miss it so much as well…

This is still my favorite for myself – pre HoT fractal.
