Just wanted to create a thread to give tips to help those new to PvP.
This could include techniques, things you wish you knew, common misconceptions, etc.
I’ll start with something I learned recently.
Tech: Fake-Out Stomp vs. Mesmers
If you down a mesmer, you can fake-out a stomp (aka start stomp => hit back to cancel or whatever you use to cancel the stomp => restart the stomp) to bait out the mesmer’s downed cloak/short teleportation skill (skill 2). If you pull it off, most of the time the mesmer will appear within stomping distance and you’ll pull off the stomp. If you have shadowstep or a blink-type move, that’s even better. This could potentially save you a lot of time fighting against downed mesmers.
