Guild Wars 2

Is this by design?

I feel like it should have been made aware if so because I ruined several attempts not knowing that it was what caused the failure. I’d use it right near the end to get me safely to the destination when I was crippled, and ruined it. Well we didn’t really have a chance anyway but if we were close that would have taken away that rare success.

Hmm, that’s dumb if so. You could go with armor of earth, cleansing fire, and lightning flash (or w/e it’s called). Works well for me.

Arcane Shield protects from beartraps but not the trip wire. And mob attacks of course.

Mist Form is my panic button, it would be much better to use than the others.

mist form turns you into mist.
You have always dropped bundles (which include wisps) when this happens.
Always.

I mean, how does mist hold an item anyway?

The same way it holds your weapons and armor and 500lbs of loot you carry around.

I don’t think I’ve ever carried bundles and used mist form before. I told 2 groups today about it who weren’t aware of it.

Seems like with the more cheaty methods other classes use (portals, teleport), Mist Form isn’t a big ask. But if it’s a mechanic limitation I can understand.
