Unblockable?
You reduced the cooldown by 100%?
Immobilize is amazing.
Cast time is small.
The bleeds stack up.
Its very good…and very lame.
Its up there for 1 of the most annoying elites in the game that I am considering no longer playing after 2 turret engineers 1 pu mesmer and 2 zerker rangers were on opposing team

1 condi clear = out of entangle as long as you dont run back into it. gg

don’t forget shadow step, blink, phase retreat, lightning flash, dark path, judge’s intervention
Lordrosicky complains too much. :L
Let’s not forget how the Ranger jumps up into the air wildly right before the skill hits either. It’s a pretty easy dodge.
As an Engineer, Entangle is pretty much a instant win button if it hits.

You do know that if you walked up to an engie you can literally make his turrets do a spin-dance of death by hitting them with that skill right?

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!
One Grenade Barrage destroys the roots! Even on condi builds! Or use Overcharged Shot to remove it!
Wahoo! Bye frands!
So that’s why I can no longer get out from it while stealth.

Wow. That guy is so annoying. Like a …
If you have problems landing it and you use Longbow, just stealth yourself before casting it.

Sure…just never use those skills for the off chance you get Entangled…
Even then, youve wasted your burst or cc.
Lastly given the aoe clutter… You wont always see that youre entangled. Chances are you get killed before you get out given how engies rely on kiting to live.

Adding to this, be sure to detarget (hopefully you have that key bound) before you use overcharged shot. if your target is behind you and you’re rooted, OC won’t go off and it’s gg for immob.
Also, dirty secret time: With the new medkit antidote, you can break immob and walk out between entangle pulses (I’d do an aoe first just in case). Here’s how it’s dirty. If you make antidote into an auto attack, it’ll pop out automatically no matter where your enemy is as long as you aren’t stunned or dazed. So if a thief hits me or i meet a condi warrior, I flick the heal key and I can kite again.
This works in and out of combat, so I usually set drop stimulant to auto-attack for a poor man’s speedy kits. It just has much less sustain than healing turret unless you’re camping hard.

Yeah it really stinks to use your abilities to counter other abilities! Goshdarn it Anet! You did it again!
Wahoo! Bye frands!
It’s an OK skill, I think it’d be outright useless if it was changed though. It’s quite easy to deal with when comparing to other elites.
Engies have that one trait that converts a condi to a boon, right?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wasted entangle just because there’s no tell on when that trait is on CD or not. And if it isn’t, entangle does NOTHING to an engie.
Bait cond cleanse/ dodges use Krait runes and it is cond burst for regen/bm rangers that works extremely well.
Its also a great defensive tool and the cd is close to the length of time of most blinks (outside of phase retreat).
Its not the I win button of say Lich form or crate but its annoying as kitten given every Ranger seems to be running it these days.

Veewee is right overcharged is a 15s cd. Getting immob’d for 2 seconds while you use abilities that cant 1 shot the roots (if your barrage/jump/blunderbuss/sharpnel nades are on cd) is a painful thing. Not to mention most of the time your facing the enemy and can launch them and escape roots.
Lol learning your skill soooooo hard.

But…what am I supposed to do when the entangle hits and the proper response doesn’t fit in with my rotation of spamming skills off CD?
60s CD, 48s if traited.
Animation is good but Casting time is too short, probably 1sec or little more would be more balanced and would give you time to react.
With 3/4s is very fast.
In PVP is the Ranger festival and Entangle festival now.
Entangle + rapid fire if you don’t have a Block or Invulnerability you are basically dead.
And it’s a braindead combo.
So that’s why I can no longer get out from it while stealth.

I am glad someone finally said it.
Sole reason I want a block function on the forums so I never have to read that “r———-” message again. It is a shame you can’t report “immensely annoying” spam.
Roots are fine imo. It has a good animation to it, and the roots can be easily broken.
I keep forgetting to switch out RaO for Entangle on my Ranger to try it out. >.<

Or play a Thief/Mesmer who tend to ignore this skill .

I find Vee Wee to be a general likeable presence on the forums. The wittiness is better than negative comments about other people. Granted the community here is already rather mild.
Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. The trademark aside, what she says is valid and is the correct counter-play.
Entangle can be dodged, if you are out of endurance/didn’t see it, use a condition removal and dodge roll (time between pulse). Next, any AoE Power spec skills or any skills with high enough base damage can clear it quickly. You can also wait for enemies to get closer for two birds with one stone (Phoenix e.g.). Also, FGS whirl and Whirlwind Attack can do maximum damage in this scenario. If you don’t have any of the above, block while immob’d or pop a reflect. If you are in an organised team, get your teammates to peel for you or give you cleanse/burst heal. If you are out of everything and have to stand there and take it, you were outplayed. Rather than just saying that it is OP (maybe it is), reacting to it should be a new reflex to practise on.
Ah, getting hit by Entangle also means to me that I am out of position if I am playing a ranged class (Engi, SF ele etc). I’d try and get better positioning with those professions.
So, Entangle is a somewhat good elite now. Anet please improve other elites too.

Like I said one day after the patch, entangle was the thing which I found the most absurd. When facing 2-3 rangers all having that elite (48 sec traited), it becomes simply ludicrous….
Yea way to go dude , lets complain about every skill that’s not easily ( emphasis on easily ) countered because kittenmit why would anyone actually want any challenge right ?
………..
Entangle has always been decent, it’s just that nobody really played Ranger, so people didn’t care really. Now that you have all these Rangers around now, it’s a lot more noticeable.
lolz

LoL!

You’re joking right? She’s the troll of excellence on the PvP forums, the way everyone gets mad at the beginning of her posts it’s just hilarious xD
