The dangers of Death Blossom!
I’ve got an omega golem that I’m trying to hide in our hills, but there’s an enemy mesmer hiding in that same spot (trying to be all spy sneaky and such). I get out, beat him up, and accidentally hit 3 instead of my e strafe to walk next to him. There I go… off the cliff and he gets a rally from my death. The worst part is that I landed smack dab in the middle of 15 invaders, all of whom were teleported up 20 seconds later. Lost the golem but was able to waypoint back in time to help man siege.
Still, those golems are expensive. That really sucked lol.
There was another one where I was fighting people on top of the clocktower in the pvp map Khylo. Yep… death blossomed right off the top to death.
Troll skill.

Still running my old RRR build because why not
So I was the only person on our server doing the chain to open up CoF. I was at the final part where you have to stay on the bridge and defend it, and if the total number of enemies exceed how many defenders there are, it goes red and you have to take it back. Well it’s a six minute event and you really only need to kill stuff during the last minute, but here I am with about 30 seconds left kiting the champion mob, and he gets right next to the edge, and naturally I hit death blossom. There I go, flying off the bridge as the timer ticks down to zero and the whole chain has to start again…
Missed XP from a supply camp cap in WvW… came close to going off the side of a mountain, ran back as quick as I could and missed out by a second or two… meh.
I’ve fallen off the edge from and died a few times but not from DB.
It usually an evade the wrong way or dancing too close to the edge while fighting someone.
I don’t use DB near edges because I know it will make me fall of the edge. It’s not like HS :p
Not death blossom but in that fractal with the jumping platforms, I used heartseeker 1 too many times on a dying harpy and leaped to my death. =/
So how many people here have accidently hit Death Blossom and launched themselves off a cliff and fallen to their death?
Lets here some funny DB stories!
Mine: I came apon someone struggling with a Skill Point mob, so I come running up to save the day (I had already gotten the point). I pop my Venom skill, pop Caltrops as I am closing to melee range, strafe to the side of the mob to avoid going over the cliff only to find out I did not move over enough and before I knew it I fell to my death. To make matters worse the guy I was trying to save sends me a tell afterwards saying that was one of the funniest things he’d ever seen in this game!
Ah man this is priceless, i can clearly picture the scene, thanks for the laugh.
Whenever i use this skill it turn-ons in my head, so there is no need to drink any beverages. It’s cheap and fun unless you want to kill someone.
yeah both skills, HS and DB have to be tweeked immidiatelly. In what way? Make em not “remembe” double taps and store em in queue. I mean u double tap HS and it does a double HS move. How can this be right? This is ability queuing. Give us the option to disable it at least – let the ppl who like it keep it.

Dredgehaunt Cliffs, or really any indoor mine area with tons of narrow platforms. At the time I was using carrion gear, so I couldn’t win fights against multiple enemies or vets without death blossom.
Ended up flying to my death not once, but several times trying to make it to the Vista in the mines. Fun build – evade spam + get 20 stacks of bleed up on multiple enemies, but that made me decide to drop it.
Not death blossom but still a fail:
CoF exp 1: Don’t ever use withdrawal on the bridge when fighting the champion … How often I died there

1. the fractal lvl 10 grawl shaman 1st part
2. standing on the edge
3. didn’t notice i was not on pistols (switched them maybe?)
4. i am the one in the soup now !!) ….
since then i think they fixed the bug and you auto teleport back up…
I used death blossom on a group of grawls but fell off the side of the cliff. Very good skill, not good to use on a narrow cliff…
