Guild Wars 2

So, occasionally the tentacle’s twirl attack goes through the blind (it doesn’t miss). I notice it happens when the tentacle is almost dead. Does it work that way or maybe my blind just fades away? Is there any indicator when the attack won’t be affected by blind?

I have no idea why sometimes it doesn’t miss.

conditions get cleansed the moment something has died, the tentacles tend to still attack after dying if they started a channel beforehand, could this be what has been happening to you?

O yeah… I think so.. So that’s normal, right? I just need to dodge when it attacks after it died? It’s so weird, zombie tentacle LOL

If it helps think of it as a part of jade maw itself in a literal since. Tentacle may have zero health. but the kittened of sky squid is still kicking.

Yeah it’s basically that. If you kill a tentacle, it goes invulnerable until it retreats in the ground rather that die. So if you kill a tentacle while it’s doing it’s whirl knockback, it turns invulnerable and purges all conditions at once, finishes the attack which now will not miss, then it does the retreat in the ground animation.

So it’s rather easy to control : if it’s about to do the knockback and die at the same time, hold off on DPS until the attack actually misses.

More like a last bite that some creatures in real life do … its completely normal
Headless Snakes Can Still Kill You
Octopus Tentacles still can move react after you cut it off Maw tentacle react quite realistically ))) it’s all legit

The twirl attack hits in all directions, I’m not sure if it’s at the same time though. If it is sweeping from left to right it could remove the blind on a previous player.

It clearly happens even when I solo a tentacle and it’s always when you reduce a tentacle HP to 0 while it’s attacking or just about to attack.

Blind will make the attack miss on every target.

As said earlier in the thread this happens because the tentacle dies and goes invuln during the attack animation making it hit .

It’s definitely the ‘dying’ thing, pretty common annoyance in that fight
