vulturing
Waiting for scraps
Vulturing is circling or hovering around something you want, waiting for your chance to claim it—like a vulture over carrion.
Someone vulturing at a party is eyeing the last slice of pizza.
In gaming, vulturing means swooping in to kill a weakened player or steal loot after others did the hard work: He's just vulturing our kills.
