Edge of Extinction who cares 5 match ends by then - "If the other team is stupid, they explode. Otherwise, you explode. (Attribute: The most fun skill in GW, sadly nerfed because it's easier to get your failure of a game balancer to roll a die than it is to fix a simple bug.)"

That foe flies 5...33...40 miles before landing in the Nevada Test Site, which results in a catastrophic explosion that the scientists there mistake for a nuclear test. One of them retrieves what was left of target foe's Pwn3d body and mails it to you, but before he gets to his mailbox, Chuck Norris shows up and roundhouse kicks him in the jaw, sending him 5...33...40 miles back to your location, causing him to hit the ground at the speed of light, creating a ginormous explosion, which kills everything on the map.

Escape - 2 after Expertise, 0, same as duration - "For 1...7...8 seconds, you do exactly the opposite of this skill's name. Enemies can't kite you, physicals can't touch you, and since you're already a ranger, elemental damage doesn't hurt you."
Use With Entangling Asp 5 1 5 - "Target foe takes 90 damage. This counts as a lead attack for some reason, even though it isn't an attack and only leads into another non-attack."
