Guild Wars 2

I’m one of those folks who are pretty slow to pick up on the habit of checking champions for RI, so a lot of times I’ll charge in and get myself killed when champs have it.

My question is, would spending points into Defense Against Guards help dampen the outgoing damage when they have the buff, or just when they’re normal?

They have a pretty blue flame on them when RI is up. Pay attention!!!

Not just that, but the attacks that do that large amount of damage a blind person could see coming a mile away, and should be dodged, if you can’t see that or the fire that engulfs the NPC, I would say you need to take and spend some time outside the zerg and learn how to play.

I’m surprised you guys have such ease seeing a few particle effects though the zerg, let alone select him through the sheer numbers of other targets.

OK, here’s why. You didn’t specify the zone. Most who post here dispise EoTM. It’s basically a Pve map.

But it also shouldn’t be relevant to the question.

Didn’t the -INVULNERABLE- message pop up? Given that no one in the zerg noticed the blue flames before they engaged, wouldn’t this be a bit of a tip off?

As for defense against guard buff, I don’t think it would do much to mitigate the damage, those RI lords hit pretty hard.

Defense against guards does mitigate the damage -a little.

As already stated, you will see invulnerable pop up and there is also tab targeting. It is really not that hard….At all.

Anet actually nerfed the damage with 200% ( im to lazy to find the patch note on it but sure its been done) plus the blue flames, they basicly made it noobproof now
