Guild Wars 2

So either you guys incorrectly typed your patch notes or seem to have hit a rough patch in logic. With this patch you removed mesmers ability to cap nodes while invulnerable. This is a good change as it brings it in line with other classes.

Oh, wait, no it doesn’t. Ranger and Warrior are now both able to cap points while under the effect of invulnerability. I can understand testing both options (in a beta…), but why split 3 incredibly similar skills in their respective ability concerning something like a node in which all players interact with in the same fashion.

Should say I am a necro main and actually don’t even enjoy playing any of the classes effected on any regular basis. I just care about the meta and changes made to sPvP. Also if it is in fact, no error, rangers can now trait to use invulnerability to gain the commune buffs in Temple and SW.

What invulnerability do warriors have? I thought they had negation.

Endure Pain: take no damage from incoming attacks. Sounds invulnerable to me.

Endure Pain makes warriors immune to attacks, but they can still be cc’d or take conditions, I believe. Invulnerability makes you immune to everything, which is a bit different.

According to my understanding of the SotG, mesmer changes were intended change the fact they were the only ones able to cap while invulnerable. Not to draw a line between elixir S/mist form/distortion and stone signet/endure pain. Id prefer, at least for the sake of new players and continuity that no class can completely avoid damage and cap a point. I think the point they made was they did not want a class to have the ability to deny caps while also being invuln to counter play. Risk/reward paradigm 101.

Neither of which explains ranger capping of communes in PvP.

Warrior does not have invulnerability.

ranger doesn’t have invuln either – you still get ccd and condition dmg works the same.
