Body block

Most characters and monsters in Guild Wars are physically represented in the game. This means that one can not walk through another character. This can be used in various ways:


 * Characters with high armor, like warriors, can form a wall in front of the more squishy spell casters, to prevent enemies from hitting them.
 * A Necromancer controlling a substantial army of minions can also provide a very effective wall with no need for team coordination.
 * In Capture the Relic maps, teams often try to body block the opposing teams Relic runner.
 * In King of the hill maps, teams can try to block the opposing Ghostly Hero (who, despite being a ghost, cannot walk through obstacles) to prevent him from reaching the center and capturing it.
 * In Guild Battles, blocking the shrine of an enemy team with downed members at the moment of their resurrection may catch newly resurrected players unprepared and provide your team with easy kills.
