Guild Wars 2

I’d figure a rally. Ele’s tag everyone in fights so someone across the map would have taken a burning speed or metor at one point during the match and died.

ASP is correct. They are letting you hurt your self. Watch for the tells which are block and don’t blindly attack the clones, they will bleed you a little bit or hurt you a lot more if killed. Wait for the mes to make himself known if faced with invis spam and last, Do not stay in a triangle of clones if he shatters often. Back off so all clones are to one side of you and shatters can be totally negated with a dodge or by running the other way when they come towards you.

1. Thanks I laugh for 20 mins after that fight. I was sleep deprived and more then a little giggly.

2. Well he was predictable, I won’t go so far as to add insult to injury.

3. Where I shine is locking down the most damaging build for the team to dispatch fast. Weapon of choice is staff. I took Osicats napalm build and made an interrupt build from it. Each clone bounces 2 ticks of burn and major might to teammates.

Build as it stands. Been at it a month now and I may drop the extra bounce for menders purity and 3 mantras on cast but, I just leveled a necro to 80 that I am playing with. TY

He was predictable thats all.

How would you counter after your backstab was blocked and each confusion tick was 2000 +? If we are going to be constructive lets stop with the adjectives and explain.

Thief dead in 8 secs. Non-pu build only stealth is elite. Yes it was luck and some skill. I think I hit a total of 5 buttons.

lol yes I counted all 5 clicks with a mouse mind you because I was lazy at the time and ready for bed.

I took Osicat’s napalm build and made an interrupt build out of it 0/4/6/0/4. Here is a thief dead in 8 secs.

I would argue he killed him self.

Been running this for the last few days:

This build is heavy interrupt punishment while keeping the enemy in range of the staff clones. The staff clones bleed and burn often. To make the burn tick twice I had to buy a 16.5 gold sigil of malice 10% all condis, and smoldering a 5 silver sigil 20% burn. If you look at the tool tip on the staff auto attack it says 1 3/4 sec burn but it does indeed tick twice.

Play style: Though not good at chasing it’s best to harass others until they commit to the fight with pistol and scepter. Confusion is stacked with the channeled skill and staff is swapped in. Dodge generates the clones while watching for telegraphed skills to interrupt via mantra of distraction and the signet skill. All the bouncing attacks from you and the clones grant big stacks of might and bleed burn on your foe. Once your at about 50% health stand in your chaos field for the full duration this will block at least 2 heavy attacks and grants more boons, heal up and they should be dead by this point. If they run swap back to pistol for the stun and recharge your mantra. The last gap closer you have is the long range blink.

Staff auto chain is the main source of damage, other weapons can be used to the same effect with this build. Great sword will benefit from the extra bounce and give more range. sword/focus will give 2 more sources of stun/interrupt. Off hand sword is the only weapon with no use here.

Chocolate Omnomberry Creams to top it off.

If your going to do auras might as well do it all the way. far more protection uptime on sigil spam.

Play with it you’ll find a rythm

Get your healing stack sigil and stay away from condition damage. This choice is up to you.

Runes are being changed but currently you can get superior water x 2, major water x2 and 2x monk or travelers to top the set off. Chocolate omnomberry creams

Run knights and pick up caviliers trinkets from the karma vendors in the level 80 areas. If you need more toughness 1 or 2 pieces some soldiers wvw gear can be had with tokens.

Also started a warrior in head start. Everything feels slow and deliberate. I also play an ele and mezmer about as often as the warrior. All the skills are just slow. The power that connects is on par with how slow the animations feel. The mezmer is slow footed and the ranged attacks are also very slow but its ranged. The ele can use a channel and other abilitys at the same time, blow through all elements in a manner of seconds and start the chain again.
