Guild Wars 2

Ok so what do you guys do when you are having a battle in which neither of you could kill the other? I had a fifteen minute (i’ll pause there, soak that number in)……………………………………………………………..fifteen minute duel with a staff mesmer that only ended because we just decided to stop fighting. Despite some of the crucial mistakes we both made (i made one REALLY bad one that im surprised he didn’t capitalize on, thought i had DD ready but it was DP so i pressed number 5….) we just couldn’t seem to down the other. Right when either of us thought victory was a button away, lol nope. So much stealthing, so much blinking, so much combat log updating.

What do you guys do? Do you just continue to fight it out? Or do you go all sneaky and just get away?

Depends
Situation 1) I was fully recharged and started fighting with him with no distractions around
I’d get away if the fights takes too long. I’ll probably have popped my elite already during the match and didn’t beat him with it. My bursts weren’t effective enough and the longer a match takes, the harder it is to maintaining my initiatives and the bigger the chance I’ll mess up and go into a messy situation.

Situation 2) Fighting someone right after another battle, my health is recharged but I have skills on CD
If the battle is rather equal and I know that those utilities I have, can change the tide I’d keep fighting (maybe prolonging the battle with stealth) so my utilities have time to recharge.
