First i ask one question.Which is most LAMEst skill?
1.it's elite.
2.It's ranger skill.
3.It's ritual.
4.It causes bleeding.
It's Lacerate,the most worsest skill.But it is realy so bad?NO.

Well here's instructions.
1.Equip lacerate.
2.go play polymock.
3.Fight normaly.
4.After your 1st piece has defeated, you are to choose next piece.
DONT TAKE IT!(unless your opponent have more than 90%HP)
5.if he have less than 90%,cast lacerate.
6.cast once again.It will cause bleeding= -10degeneration
7.Rinse and repeat!

Well,if you didn't understand PM ME!

Critic against this:

Q:THIS IS CHEATING!!!!
A:Yes,it is. But lacerate was worsest skill in game, so this isn't so bad.

ARENANET will propably do something, to make lacerate more powerful.
i didn't posted this for all players cheated, i just want that Lacerate will be buffed.

That exploit is nothing new.... people have been taking ritual spirits and ranger spirits into Polymock for easy victories since it was discovered.

I personally don't do it, being it's an exploit, and you're risking account banning for not reporting that bug and using it.

You risk account banning for 99% of the things you do in Guild Wars.

At my school, with is a building site at the moment, they call that, making use of the choas of mis organisation. I quess this is the same. If Anet fails at fixing bugs or just doesnt want to, go ahead and use it.

I dont play polymock or what ever. GW is more then enough for me

Not the only explorable bug posted on fan-site forums.
I guess most of them are reported to the game designers as well.

Some bugs seem very easy to fix, wonder why they aren't fixed yet....

To the OP's statement that he post this here, and explains how to exploit it at the same time... and then says "I did not post this so all players cheat"
Why didn't he report this to Arena.net instead?

O rly? Lots of people abused an exploit last night to get max Delver title in 25 minutes. Anet said they're not taking any action against them for doing so.

The moral of the story is it's acceptable to abuse exploits and one shouldn't be a good samaritan and avoid it.

The funny part is, most people who cry about exploiters don't even care about exploits.

They just want to see as many people banned as possible.

The moral of the story is: be in on such stuff before it becomes public knowledge. In and out, then let the latecomers take the consequences.

And, like poker, knowing when to stop is the key to winning.

Purely for the sake of research (cough) - could someone explain something to me?

Is the OP saying that, after your first Polymock piece has been defeated, you can refuse the next piece and return to your human self?

...rather confused here (and I suck at Polymock)

Its not like polymock is super important to keep ballanced. Besides, little exploit fixes nicely iniability of some people to win /which is not surpsising because when your ping is over ~400ms, you just cant dodge or interupt so your eventuall skill does not help. And lot of people with fine ping just suck.../

People cried over forums that they are blocked from asuran summons, i would think that 1sp, 1k gold and 5 minutes capping lacerate is okay price for them to get past it.

When you lose one polymock piece and get to chose your next, instead of choosing one you close that window.

Too busy nerfing dungeons and skills to fix busted things and skills like Winds.

It's not a bug or an exploit, it's creative thinking.

Creativity to get around bad pings, buggy AI and Anet's lack of forethought.

Yeah, I think Anet let's an apparently useless skill sit around for a year or so to let people find a use for it. Lacerate just found it's single use in the game. That's why they finally changed Otyugh's Cry. It was never useful under any circumstance.

I just tried this...either the bug has been fixed, or there's something I don't understand. I started a game of polymock, I died, I closed the box instead of picking a second piece, I cast a spirit...and nothing happened. My opponent wasn't registering as an enemy, so the spirit wouldn't harm him.

Is that why it has to be a ranger spirit that will affect anyone, not just a foe?

you need to cast it, and then click "start round" while the countdown is occuring, your opponent will be bleeding.

I was actually thinking of letting it expire then recasting it.
