I dunno, correct me if im wrong or hallucinating, but should players be able to use insta finisher on downed opponents in Mist form? Had it used on me several times – enemy starts finisher -> mist form -> finisher ends, or just insta finish in MF.

This is viable thing to do. wondered same thing back in times. same goes for necro plague stomp, mesmer portal stomp, thief steal stomp and many other skills. actually most skills that don’t have a cast time can be used while stomping i think. some skills are safer than others and work better against certain classes.

Back in times I too had my troubles on getting proof this sort of skill use isn’t exploiting but it sure is viable even it may look like unintended mechanics at first glance.

Idk if I interpretted your post right or not, but do you mean that the charging time for the stomp goes away as soon as they hit mist form and it just instantly stomps you? Because if so then that would be a bug.

I only did one match yesterday and didn’t see it happen so I can’t confirm it or not, but that’s what it sounds like from what I read in your post. Even in mist form the charge should continue for the length of time that a regular stomp would take, unless the ele has haste.

Edit: The second time I read it sounded more like a regular mist form stomp, which is a legitimate way to secure a stomp. Mist form has a 75 second cooldown when not traited for cooldown reduction, and it’s only one of many skills that can secure a stomp, which is actually an important thing to be able to do in team fights.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though. :P

The thing is you can cancel/steal stability and interrupt stomp, but u cant steal/cancel mist form.
