Best skill use you've ever seen?

I was playing AB as a monk with my friend, and we were in the center of that 3 shrine chain on ancestral lands. A mob of 15 luxons / minions were now swarming the shrine, and so i drew a dodgy arrow attempting to point down the stairs and back round under the bridge towards the center fort. Acknowldeging this my friend then made a run for it, i protted him as he ran through. The mob all then turned to me and i spammed my skills like hell in order to survive. As my friend passed through my aggro zone underneath... BAM i hit return

Just thought that was pretty cheeky

I like to use hex breaker when I see SP sins
They tele then start their chain but they can't hit me 'cause I'm not hexed, lol.
Not very clever or anything but it works hehe.

I love whirling defense, espescially in AB, with that skill you can solo cap almost every point

Shouts can't be interrupted.

For long cast spells like meteor shower, you still have a cast time(equal or less than 0.25 sec), it is not as instant as you think.

I'd say my best skill usage (which was really more luck) was interrupting a ranger's dshot at 0:06 remaining in old halls, allowing us to cap and win. I was shocked that I actually managed it.
There you go assuming you know my level of intelligence.

Please don't go there.

I'm not trolling...those who are criticising my feel-good moment in AB (I've spent maybe an hour in AB total since owning factions...) are trolling to make themselves feel better.

Actually Sig of Illusions + skill stealers or Inspired Hex/Chant is very workable. I just watched a GvG where the mesmer used inspired enchant on the other team's Aegis and then used it himself when the prot monk couldn't. Very slick.

I think the poster was trying to mock the "I interrupted a 1/4 sec spell kiss my feet" battle in the thread. (Maybe not - in that case busted)

Actually, Glyph Sac makes your next spell 1/4 second cast, so it doesn't surprise me that this could happen. Not sure if thats a bug or intended.

here's one bit of advice for wammos and other aggro holders: if you are holding aggro and a meteor storm or another aoe is going off right next to you, pull the aggro into it

I usually run a sig of ilusions with inspired hex and enchant, its not a very good build, but its pretty fun ^^ got a SoR one time :P


on topic: I love when i see AoD sins beggining to spike, then i remove enchant and they return to their places ^^ did it a couple of times

EDIT: u guys are nothing compared with the Ghostly Hero.... he interupted mine infuse >_<

d-shotted rof a few times, though this isn't always hard if you have some good timing and of course some luck.

I was a W/D, tanked a necro, ranger, dervish, and assassin at once, 4v1. I killed all four, survived. No, they didn't necessarily suck, more like, my build completely destroyed them.

I use shadow stepping to dodge things. For example, when you're casting meteor, I run back, or keep running, depending on the situation, wait until it flashes gold, then I shadow step and avoid the projectile.

I played an Echo Mending monk, and survived for six wins in the Random Arenas. I normally suck at monk, but I echoed Blessed Signet rather than Mending, and kept Mending maintained. It worked for a while.

Wonder if that's the same monksin build I keep seeing in RA...

Monks are supposed to kite and heal and stuff... not facestab you into oblivion >.<

Mo/A's are annoyingly effective in RA. Frankly, for that reason, I wouldn't call what that monksin did to you a display of 1337 skillz... If it's in RA, it's probably gimmicky niche build crap. Or Wiki. I dunno which is worse.

Another bit of "woot" for me was when I first tried playing a shadow prison + black spider strike + twisting fangs + sig of toxic shock + sig of deadly corruption sin... was shockingly effective at tearing a ranger into tiny pieces. Probably a gimmick build itself, but it felt pretty awesome dropping the ranger like that, it went so smoothly.

[skill]Contemplation of Purity[/skill], i absoluly love this skill, never see anyone use it recently except myself in AB, i use it with a Dboon+Smiters boon monk.. crazy heals, nice support.. and when those annoying mesmers and sins start throwing hexes and conditions at me i just CoP it all off to their great dissappointment.

In AB I'd have to go with my Blinding Flash + Gale ele. It's fun to catch a wiki ninja on his way to pwn you with Blinding Flash, and when said sin tries to retreat gets dropped on his ass. And then the fun begins.
