Guild Wars 2

Now I know that this Trait only gives stability and isn’t an actual stun breaker, but it used to be if I used it, it broke knockdowns and knockbacks. Has that changed now and it’s acting as intended or is this a bug? I would imagine gaining stability would break a knockdown. Would appreciate a developer’s comment much more than anyone else, but I’ll limit my expectations…

This didn’t break knockdowns or stuns, but prevents new ones from coming in, so can be used to get out of stun-chains for you and your party, among other things.

It is still a very good trait even though it doesn’t break, it just requires you to use it proactively (stomping, getting out of chains, while starting a channel such as ether renewal) to prevent interruption.

It’s great, but the fact that it’s linked to Attunement swapping makes it difficult to get Stability when I actually want it.

Which is why I don’t use it.

The class’s inherent mechanic is itself a big hindrance in playing the class fuidly. It needs careful micromanagement of CDs. If you made a tiny teensy mistake, you’re dead.
