Guild Wars 2 Commander Camp -- Commanding As A Moa

-- Commander snipe is an unfortunate part of being a commander in World vs. World, and getting Moa'd is one of the top annoyances on that list. In this video, we take a deep dive on what causes Moa, what you can do while you're a bird, and strategies to limit its effectiveness while you're commanding.
-- Note that while this is a video that came out on April Fool's Day, none of it's inaccurate. It just seemed like an appropriate topic to cover for the time.

Thanks for the video, I've been moa'd enough to know what the skills do ( I think the duration used to be longer at one point, or maybe it just felt that way while I was learning). But am going to share it to a couple of newer commanders we have who will probably get a lot of value out of it.

[@sheffplaysgames]

Happy to help! Also, hello Fiera! I didn't know you were also making videos. :)

[@AURA_206]

Thanks Sheff! Very Helpful LOLXD

[@Maebbie]

thanks this video made me better as a moa than my actual class, the enemy wont expect this.

KFC Commander is amazing

[@kencollins2002]

Was a fun vid. How often do you get Moa'd on any given night? Or is it more of a thing versus certain guilds or pugs? I Chrono about half the time (Scrap sup the rest) and in squad, I rarely can spare Moa for Gravity Well or Mass Invis for port. They are just too important. Maybe those guys are more roam or cloud builds?

[@sheffplaysgames]

100% of the open field footage in this video was @SerialExperimentsGW2 delivering the Moa. It happens very, very rarely to me personally. Instead, it tends to be a personality thing -- some players are particularly keen on using Moa, while some commanders are known to get extremely upset about being Moa'd, which just tends to attract even more attention.

Unrelated what build are you running? you are HEFFTY!!!

[@sheffplaysgames]

Full Sentinel's, aside from that, a fairly normal Leg Specialist Spellbreaker build. [KnT] runs big enough that I can generally ignore my own damage output, and contribute to my squad's function in ways that don't require statting (like boonrip, stuns, immobs).

Choya video next please 🙏

[@sheffplaysgames]

If I can find an opportunity to do it earlier, I will, but "A list of meta tonics in WvW" is an exceptional idea for next year. :)

How have your time with ViP been, Sheff?

[@sheffplaysgames]

Really interesting! I think the way that big PvX communities approach WvW is cool, and I try to spend some time around them to see how it all works. ViP, TG (now PvD), Hardstuck, Skein Gang, etc, all have their own unique approaches, and have had varying levels of success. I always end up learning a lot from those communities about the really basic, introductory level, what are the absolute basics that you need to know about WvW in order to thrive in the gamemode. At some point that's going to show up in a Commander Camp. I don't know when, or what kind of structure it's going to take as a video, but it will.

[@leonardobertagnolli712]

@@sheffplaysgames You could do, maybe some time in the future, a video talking about your time with this guilds and the experience of making brief part, or even long part, of this communities. Things you learned and tought and so on. That would be amazing!

[@sheffplaysgames]

@@leonardobertagnolli712 One of my longer-term goals for the channel is videos about the history of specific guilds in World vs. World, so keep an eye out. I'm hoping to make progress on that, maybe near the start of summer would be the first one. June/July range.
