Guild Wars 2

If you’re going to leave this absolutely horrible mechanic in the game, could you at least make it so condition removal prioritizes it?

It’s absolutely frustrating to be immobilized for upwards of 20s because my condition removal decided the 1 stack of vulnerability was more threatening.

I mean it’s patently ridiculous that I can’t get rid of immobilize with “Shake It Off!” and Mending but what’s even more frustratingly stupid is that even if I do, there’s plenty of other sources of immobilize coming at me.

Immobilize is the second most un-fun mechanic in this game after constant enemy cc, luckily, the new Toxic Offshoot events and the Tower seem to go out of their way to highlight both of these design failures brilliantly.

trying using warhorn 4? dogged march? -condition duration stuff?

As a warrior, you have no right to complain about immobilize. Trait dogged march, get some runes of melandru, and eat a bowl of lemongrass poultry soup. Congrats, that 20 second immobilize is now 0.4 seconds.

Being able to stack -condition duration effects like that makes the warrior nigh unstoppable. Try being a ranger sometime, I’d kill to have the kind of traits warriors take for granted.

I’m not a fan of it stacking the way it does now either. This is just from the pov of a casual pve player, but it’s a ridiculous player death indeed, when some veteran risen squire swims up, stacks a 20s immobilize, and steamrolls your dire-stat condition-tank lvl-80 mesmer.

I avoid the Orr areas for that skill, even those nodes can’t tempt me to go there. It’s on a par with the area’s aesthetics, horrible.
