Guild Wars 2

Fynd.4890:

Now here’s a project for you: roll a necro and tell me how to get out of devourer venom/pistol whip spam w/ haste; even better, devourer venom/pistol whip + panic strike trait.

I think we can all agree that devourer venom and pistol whip makes it extremely free, then haste on top of that just makes it donations to the blood god.

Same way as every other profession should be doing it, stun breakers. Spectral Walk (probably not that commonly used, not sure), Spectral Armor (probably your best stun breaker, as it gives protection and life force when hit…), Plague Signet (though that’s probably either not used or the active is used specifically for the condition removal, but oh hey, what happens if you send your immobilization onto the thief?)

Just want to say I’m another person that has been moa’d and I can’t recall dying while in it and I play a staff elementalist, my survivability depends on me being able to swap attunements and use my utilities. There doesn’t seem to be an issue with moa morph, in my and many others’ opinions.

One thing I didn’t read about time warp is that leaving the area when it is cast directly on a point means losing that point, but you only need to leave it long enough for enemy melee to walk out of it and lose their quickness or do the not-that-difficult task of kiting on the point.

roll an elementalist and tell me how to get out of pwhip plz

Any cantrip, take your pick they all break the stun. Most thieves will steal to you, if you see a thief shadow step on you all you have to do is dodge roll after that. Pistol Whip is an interesting skill, the can move and strike with the initial hit, after about .75s they’ll lock themself into place because of the chain hit animation (similar to 100b and blurred frenzy locking the warior and mesmer professions, respectively).

“1v1 this wouldn’t be so bad, but I have been in some 1v1’s that turned into 1v2’s where I get downed, bring myself back, then when my ally is finishing off the enemy I get defeated, and much to the detriment of my friendly ally, I have just effectively rezzed the enemy.”

Except you didn’t “effectively rez” the enemy, because he was never defeated. And it sounds like you mean 2v1. So that ou can prev prevent this from happening next time, let your ally know your vengeance is almost up, cc the enemy and wait for yourself to go down and then have your ally down the enemy.

Play the game, don’t let it play you :/

Honestly… I stopped watching after you saw the enemies at Chieftain and said “too many”. Steal the boss! That or kill the under half heath enemies (plus I think it was a mesmer, so really only like one person)

Keep trying though!

Condition damage can’t be mitigated otherwise (besides health pool and healing), it’s all or nothing, like many of the removals. The thing is unless you spec completely condition removal, conditions on necros and rangers are reapplied rapidly and in large quantity, so it’s really only gone a once in a condition removal cooldown. If you notice you’re fighting a heavy condition removaler, tell your team and avoid fighting them because you’re making yourself useless and making them useful

I had this happen also, it would have been something from rabbit, deer, or free tournament. Possibly rabbit actually, because I’m only rank 15 and it was a long time ago that I got them.

now he is playing pve with mesmer… i guess he forgot”

My quote button is missing, anyways, you can watch the saved video from that stream, he confirmed that it’s written, just waiting on editing and localization !! woot

The same system used for defending a keep could be used, if no enemies are killed in the defense, no DE reward. If a fight happens and a dolyak was at stake, I think players should be rewarded for keeping the dolyak up. Though I agree with them giving no reward so that people push capturing a location over taking a stroll with a dolyak.

Try going to chantry of secrets, that’s what I had to do. It is still bugged though as the achievement/medal is stuck on 97%

This is where I’m at, 100% in the top right of my map, but 97% on my character select. I’l check Chantry and then edit this post if it fixed it.

EDIT: That gave me the 100% map awards, awesome!

Anelyn, I still think these skills are doing way too much damage considering quickness combined with crowd control and their low cooldown. I carry two stun breaks on my point defense Engi build BECAUSE of these insanely strong skills, I can dodge roll a bull charge given a decent amount of distance as well. I agree that paying attention is the best way to avoid dying to this, but the damage paired with the cooldowns and a single crowd control… there’s a reason I see these skills ran in every game.

I can’t recall how a match is awarded in a tie, it would make sense that the last team to capture a point would be the winner in an otherwise draw.

Actually, pistol whip and 100b can 1shot most squishies before the animation ends, I run 3200 toughness and ~17,000 health on an Engineer and I do lose 3/4 of my health to a pistol whip if I don’t stun break it.

A few times now I’ve dc’d after about 15min in my story only to come back in on the outside map, it’s really annoying that I have to start it again, especially if the first part of the quest is just slowly killing your way to the actual objective as seen in a few of the higher level ones.

You could play free tournaments and get a fair match-up (5v5, if everyone connects) and not get team switched and receive additional bonuses and more rank/glory.
