Someone want to explain this?
Turai does grant this but I thought it was aegis and protection. Also didn’t think it was map wide but could be wrong
You can learn about Turai and the other Mist Champions, and their abilities, in the News Blog, the most recent PoI, and, likely, soon from the Wiki….and probably on Dulfy (I haven’t looked).
Good luck.
Edit: Oh! And also from the PvP panel in HotM. =)
it was only a 1v1 match or 1v1 situation i got a bit lost here.
yeah probably ravenant or guardian sanctuary
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
Was fighting a necro as a necro 1 v 1 in the new stronghold match. When he was about to die he gained a shield around him and had continuos block against all my attacks for 5 seconds at least. This happened mutiple times during the fight and each seemed to occur when he was low on hp.
Can someone explain how he was able to do this? When i asked he said it was from his team summoning turai but does that give a map wide buff and how often does he pop it?
Hi
I also have Turai and do notice it. In addition, he could have had an out of LOS guard or mesmer boons running on top of tha. Boon / support mesmers are not played very often because their other options are so much fun to play, but they truly are great team support, just like guards.
last but not least, as a necro, as I am sure you know, you can get quite a lot of prot + regen uptime just by yourself depending on your build. A necro with prot+regen + DS or lich or plague is a very solid bunker. If you add lifedrains on top of that then it just becomes LOL.
I have in fact had a few matches where I switched my mesmer to the support build and went 1 v 1 with such necros. Neither of us could kill each other at all. We could burst down to 80% ish health only to have both our health fully restored by the time the next burst came around.

It was a 1 v 1 situation, and there wasnt anyone around except for us. Both our teams and turai were on the opposite side of the map fighting. I pm’d him asking how he was able to keep getting that shield up and he wasnt sure.
I also know what protections the necro can do but this was not one of them and i’m not asking about how a necro can sustain. It was a huge blue shield that went around him and it blocked all attacks for at least 5 seconds at a time. (every attack on him just said block).
What is ravenent and guardian sanctuary?
Just found this on wiki as one of his abilities
Shield of Elona (war cry) — grants a protective shelter that blocks all incoming attacks on all player allies and their Lord.
So i guess it is map wide but does anyone know how often he pops this? Saw this 2 or 3 times during the one battle between me and the other necro
From what I’ve noticed, the AI on the Champions are quite intelligent, using their skills at selective times, rather than just randomly like a PvE mob.
A couple of matches when I’ve popped out Nika for example, she’s cloaked us as an enemy player is downed, allowing us to finish them with ease without detection or interruption.

Do you know if they have cd’s on their skills?

It was Turai that was giving him the shield. His war cry gives everyone on the map a shield that absorbs hits for a few seconds. As far as what the CDs for it are I’m not sure.
