Guild Wars 2

Unfortunately, elementalists are really lacking in stun breaks. The only util we have that’s a stun breaker is mist form. So I was thinking, maybe anet could make it so lightning flash and armor of earth broke stun as well. I think that’d be a really positive change for the class.

WHAT????

This is a troll right??!

… yeah, must be.

While they are at it them might as well make cleansing fire break stuns as well,amirite?

@dreztina
you do know that lightning flash, armor of earth and cleansing fire are all stun breakers right? have you even played an elementalist?

Sorry, this was a rage post after a night of my stun breakers being completely broken. I get so tired of using a ‘stun break’ and then having to sit there for the entire duration of the stun anyway. Armor of Earth and Lightning Flash are both completely broken as kitten and rarely break stun. AoE just doesn’t work at all most of the time, and LF teleports you but just makes you sit out the stun in your new location. Frustrating as hell.

I agree and think we could use some travel options too. Like if in air attunement we could zip around like lightning that would be cool

dreztina, if you are not trolling, I can think of 2 reasons why stun breaks fail:

1. You are immobilized. Immobilize is a condition and unaffacted by stun breakers (Yes, it’s somehow inconsistent with fear but that’s how the game works)

1. You used the stun breaker on a blowout effect. That’s indeed buggy. If you use the stun breaker too early, the blowout animation stops, but you can’t stand up. You have to wait until you fully lie on the ground before using the stun breaker. (Other classes are affected by that as well – there has been a qq thread about how broken updraft is recently.)
