Guild Wars 2

Had this happen today – smashed it down and it leapt immediately up. No other players in zone.

I assume you’re talking about WvW. He/she killed an AI mob.

So I’m fighting this mesmer. This guy was good, he had me on defense for the first half of the fight and I figured I need to act, like now. So long story short he’s on the ground and I have 1k hp left, 6 stacks of confusion and a badly injured wolf biting me, all utilities on cd, I go down and throw a dagger hoping i would target the wolf, instead it hits the mes, bounces off of him, hit AND kills the wolf, rezzing him and not me #wtf and you can guess what happens next…..gg wolf, gg

Must have been it.

No, that’s not how it works. Your bouncing knife counts as you doing the damage. The problem is that rally doesn’t work like that. Rally works when something you participated in the kill dies. Kind of like in PvE where you need not only to do a little damage but to do significant damage to get loot and XP and the like.

What happened was that the reason the wolf was badly injured was that the mesmer nearly killed it in your fight, then you finished the job with your bouncing knife but not doing enough damage to tag the kill. The mesmer on the other hand got it and he rallied.

…….I hate cheap interferences -_-

Random Skelk once came out of nowhere and attacked me right before I logged off.

Broken armor +1 OTL

Skelks… most OP mob in the game with their constant 99.99999% invincisibility :P

But yeah in wvw gotta keep your eye out for creatures and that which can allow rallies or give interference.

Do we thieves can to complain about OP Skelks or will the rest of the GW2 community trash us for that too?

Just a side note not related to the topic.
Does anyone know that if you get knocked down faceplanted eating dirt, you can immediately get up by using steal on the target? It’s almost like a stun breaker for knock down. lol

I’m pretty sure it only moves your body and makes it look like you’ve broken the stun/knockdown.

You still can’t act throughout the rest of the stun duration.

So it’s not a stun breaker, but still useful for repositioning when your stun breaker is down.

As far as I can recall, whenever I get knocked down and back by some PvE mob, I use steal to get back up beside them started attack again.
Maybe I should to test it out again to confirm it’s not just an animation illusion.

Tested it a few times. It just moves you – no stun break. I expect what you saw was your natural recovery, that made it look like a stun break as you Stole at that moment.
