Guild Wars 2

Hi all

I used to run Retribution and then switched to Invocation for more damage. I mostly SoloQ (or duo) and what i have noticed of course is that it’s really difficult to stomp with invocation (since no stability).

This is not a problem in team fights since someone else can stomp or we can just cleave. However a few times i’ve had some 1v1 and have downed the enemy. But couldn’t stomp in time before one of his teammates shows up to CC me or Rez the guy before i could stomp.

Now i could go to Retribution but then my DPS is lower and maybe i will not be able to down the guy in the first place.

What do you Invocation guys do to help secure the kill when you down someone?

If you are only with the downed guy you can use facet of darkness active to blind their CC. If someone comes to help them I cleave them with IO+ sword AA and enchanted dagger.

Disclaimer: I’m not a rev main, but I’ve been downed plenty by rev’s. I’ve noticed they’ll drop Elemental Blast (from Facet of Elements) on my body, and swap to Shiro and quickness AA me to death with Impossible Odds and the heal. Just speculation here, but if you see an unfriendly coming, you can camp Herald and wait for them to CC you before swapping to shiro for a guaranteed stun break from Riposting Shadows followed by quickness AA.

Thanks everyone, i’ll try these suggestions.
