Guild Wars 2

When you switch to Longbow, Binding Roots are way too OP… You cant do anything when you have a longbow equipped.

I demand a fix for this, F1 Combustive shot does nothing.. Blast does 1 hit.. normal hit doesn’t even hit it.

Way too OP, and not tested. Check it out Devs

Try playing mesmer with scepter and staff equipped. You are pretty screwed if you dont have blink or phase retreat ready.

Eventhough you’re a massive troll, I somehow gotta admit, binding roots are op in some cases. Nonetheless it is an elite skill, which, in the eyes of anet, has to be op.

Really? Clear conditions after the tick and then move out. Easy.

LMAO, mate, are you actually saying something that a ranger uses is OP, Im confused. Roots have 2k hp if you cant destroy em L2P. Also if you want OP mr.magnetron shall i point you towards the perma-stun warrior meta that a lot of people are using, I’m sure skullcrack can take out roots real easy. You should try that instead.

Roots are pretty bad tbh….. Just the other night I got lucky and jumped just as a ranger cast it, landed on top of the roots and walked away.
It also misses all 5 enemies on one blind, which is really kittenin sucky.

It is aggravating to get stuck in something like that, but… if someone pulls it off on someone at the proper time and they unable to get out of it, then i suppose they deserve the kill.

I don’t think its OP it just has bugs (that work with and against the ranger). My favorite is having nothing but ranged weapons equipped, getting hit by it, and then having no way to attack it because for whatever reason the roots are behind you.

binding roots is definitely not op, you are able to kill the roots itself, it literally takes my bunker build 2 auto attack hits to destroy the vines, and players get out of the roots on using stealth at least for my engineer it does.

It’s not OP but it (and immobilize in general) is poorly implemented which leads to some annoying bugs, such as getting immobilized in the air which makes it impossible to use skills and as such kill the vines, or being rooted in a spot on the edges of the vine where you can’t attack it unless you have some kind of leap ability that forces your character to turn around.

^^this

i died so many times to roots because death blossom → roots → stuck in the air bug → can’t use anything → death

Entangle isn’t op, it is only very effective if used right. Otherwise, it as a LOT of issues.

Stealth being one of them.

Just depends on your spec, gear, and class on how effective it is but thats like many things in this game. Against a condition necro it can GG the fight if the ranger abuses line of sight and you can’t transfer the immob. As a necro I have to transfer and walk out right on time or wait it out while I eat alot of damage if I am in dire gear I am really screwed since i have no direct damage to dps it down.. It can be a little rough on my mesmer depending on what I am running but usually not the case if I have invis. My thief, warrior, ele it doesn’t bother me at all.
