Guild Wars 2

Everyone who has pvp’d has had it happen to them. They get an opponent into downed state, they pop a safety stomp cd to ensure the stomp and begin the stomp channel only to have it fail because their target gets stealthed midcast.

I personally find this feature to be incredibly frustrating and also wildly inconsistent with the way all the other channeled skills seem to work in this game. A midcast stealth does not seem to cause any other channeled skill in the game to miss so why does it cause the stomp channel to miss?

Does anyone else find this game logic inconsistency troubling? I can’t be the only person who gets kittened when a stomp channel misses because of some last second stealth going off despite the fact that every other channel seems to land through stealth.

Will this ever be changed?

It doesnt need to change. A lot of thieves carry SR for the res-ability that it gives. It adds safe resses and gives some interesting gameplay. If you see a thief approaching or you have a downed thief and he had already used his “2” downed skill, his “3” skill will almost be off CD. Just cleave after he uses his 2…so easy.

Isn’t it if you cannot see your enemy or they are out of range at the moment you finish your stomp it is unsuccessful? It provides the only counter-play to stability stomps besides killing the enemy (lets be honest here, not exactly counter-play)

I mean if your enemy autos and breaks their stealth they still get finished. If your actively being stomp blocked by stealth you should prob be cleave killing the target.
