Guild Wars 2

That adds so much power. I trying to figure out how to recreate it, but so far standing on the same elevation as your target and having them dip just below yours (range 100-120?) causes them to launch past pistol range above the dip that they slam. So for context:

You know the spot in Stronghold where you pick up supply and run it to your base, the big “mid”? If you scorpion wire someone on the other side of the pit properly (I got it to work only three times) making sure you are both on the ledge, when they slam at your feet they will skyrocket into the air giving you the added bonus of a 1000+range launch STRAIGHT into the air.

Oh my god, devs- don’t fix this. This is fantastic. >.> I gotta see if I can make it more consistent. But oh baby this is funny. So far, works on fellow Thief players and one Mesmer. Hoping to have time to test this again soon. =D Scorp wire, the skill so bugged it gains value from being broken.

OH and the value besides when it works it gives a 1200 range pull (I’m figuring out how to make it work despite bugs when I play now, mentally taking notes): If you need to gain distance on a Mesmer, throw the wire. It tends to only trip them BUT sends you around 240-300 range away. Best get away ever. Need to flip a Necro’s Breaker or get a DH off the trap by making em mad? Throw a wire. Wanna trip someone running away or possibly displace them? Throw a wire. Tired of those plebs hiding behind thin walls when you shoot projectiles? No more, throw a wire. =D This thing is at its prime, I am advising its use.

All pull skills in the game are pretty buggy. There was a fun time when Necro Spectral Grasp was extra buggy and if you were standing almost directly above someone when using it you could pull them through the map. I had a lot of fun standing on tower walls in WvW and getting people stuck inside the walls, lol. I remember one time I pulled an Engi in to the gate and he got stuck underneath it. A few of us just kept poking at him until he fell through the map.

Scorp Wire is a fun skill when you understand its limitations.
