Guild Wars 2

The new breakbar seems a fine system for a defiance replacement, but it prevents a bunch of traits and skills to work properly.

I played only Mesmer / Chronomancer so far. And what I’ve noticed is that I cannot daze any champions for the vuln stacks anymore. I cannot slow any champions or trash mobs with the bar to get my 30% crit chance boost. I cannot use any cc and / or interrupts even if the bar is broken.

Instead of causing a specific thing to happen after the bar breaks, I’d rather like to see the temporary vulnerability to be ccd like defiance stacks did.

Or just let slow / stun / daze etc be applied yet without any effects. I expect traits to work. I also expect trats or direct skill modifiers of other classes to work properly like +X% dmg for each ocndition on the target / against stunned / knock downed / floating mobs.

Right now the breakbar seems like a horrible idea, yet I hope some changes will be made.
