Guild Wars 2

Have an enemy with a block.

I have an unblockable i can use it bypass that block.

I’m using a ranged weapon.

The attack im using, we’ll call it ‘1’, has a windup time

If i want the first attack to bypass the block what is the latest time i can proc the unblockable? The unblockable doesn’t have a windup, its instant on proc.

Unblockable>press 1> animation windup > fires =hits

but what about the other scenarios? like procing it after u hit 1….during the animation windup phase?

Does the unblockable only work on attacks that are keypressed before the unblockable is proc’d? Or is there exception? my own experiences seem to indicate an exception with maybe some weapons or attacks or longer windup times, but its hard to test/tell.
Is there a pve enemy that always has block on it so i can test properly?

a proc = programmed random occurrence.
Not helping you with your issue, just hate seeing people use that incorrectly.

I doesn’t matter if you activate unblockable before or after a skill, it takes immediate effect the moment you use it.

I used to start casting killshot back in the day and activate signet of might to make it unblockable when the projectile was in the air (made people confident that they could block/reflect it).
