Guild Wars 2

So I saw a few discussions questioning the purpose of the Kick for a class that is all about in your face combat. For melee mode, I guess I agree, but with a rifle, this is incredibly useful.

So running around with a rifle, kick, and a bolas, I have a knock back and cripple on the rifle, and a knock back and root with my utility skills. I haven’t tried it in PvP, but in PvE it’s great, no single foe can close with me, and even with miltiple mobs i have enough tools to keep them off me, and in PvP I can’t imagine it wouldn’t also be cool.

Plus I can weapon swap out to an off-hand sword and use 4 to plant a heavy bleed on my target, or dash in and use F1 for those bleeds, then back to the rifle.

Maybe I just don’t see the weakness cause I’m new, but that seems like a killer combo to me.

I think most people use melee setups where it is not beneficial to kick your target out of range. Overall, the CD is decent, but I find the entire slot a bit wasted when taking it when I could take more stability, endure pain or berserker stance instead.

I always just used Kick in WvW to knock hapless players off of cliffs, afterwards screaming, “SPARTA!”

I believe most people who question the point of kick is speaking from the standpoint of PvP where you want to stick to your target and avoid being kited, or speaking from PvE dungeon point of view where kick is useless on bosses due to defiant and most times you don’t want to be kicking mobs around

I usually use kick for its interrupt on enemy heals.

they should have left Kick on the longbow skill bar where it belongs.
