Q:

So I’m seeing this a lot. Players spam immobilizing skills and stack its duration. The game allows for the first 3 immobilizes to stack its duration, which isn’t so bad, its normally 3-6 seconds. But groups are spamming them right after one another, so once the first stack of immobilize is done, a second burst of it applies. And if you are unlucky, you’ll be rooted for upwards of 20+ seconds. There is no surviving that.

Should immobilizes get a debuff like revealed is for stealth? Where after you are done with 1 immobilize burst, you can’t be rooted for 1-2 seconds.

Or do you guys not feel that perma-immobilizes aren’t broken and should be allowed for groups who time their immobilizes well like mesmer veils? ‘Immo. 1 go, Immo. 2 go’

I also see this a fair bit in PvP, but when I see 2 players stacking immobilizes for 15+ seconds, I’m more astonished, amazed and impressed than I am thinking it’s broken.

Immobilize in itself I feel is fine, especially since they’re going to be bringing in the resistance boon, but the bugs with it need to be fixed. Like mid air immob that doesn’t let you use any skills, outside of like shouts, is really broken. Also the more skill specific immob problems with entangling roots, where range attacks have difficulties in hitting the roots, could use some tweaking too.
