Guild Wars 2

I’m aware this is a hot button issue, but I think I have a relatively fair solution to the problem. Here are my possible solutions:

1. Restore the Stun Breaker to Cleansing Fire. Hell, remove the burn if you really want to, so long as the stun break comes back.

2. Restore Stun Breaker to Lightning Flash and/or Cleansing Fire in PVE only.

3. Remove Stun Breaker from Signet of Air and restore Stun Breaker to Lightning Flash.

The point is to spread the stun breakers out, not keep them all on Cantrips.

This.

We might not like changes, but it doesn’t change the fact changes were needed.

Don’t remove burning from cleansing fire.
Step 1 start Fire Grab, Step 2 teleport at enemy, Step 3 cleansing fire before the Fire Grab hits. Who would expect that?

No one, I saw some ele fire grabbing yesterday in PvP (he was a ways away from me) so I thought he was some noob, next thing I know he’s in my face and I’m dead xD

Indeed, if you read aways back I had some posts up about Unconventional openers. Such as teleport updraft, teleport fire grab, teleport kd. Teleport Burning speed for extra damage from it. Teleport FGS 3 for double damage. Teleport then RTL for extra range (the other way always bugs out for me, and RTL usually bugs out as well, hello focus). Teleport Frost bow 5 into frost bow 3.

So basically teleport everything. Also things like don’t use Updraft after rtl, and don’t use fire grab after burning speed (use burning speed to bait a dodge) the cleansing fire fire grab. Also, imob (earth 3) into burning speed to apply your burning, then judge a dodge, if you think you can get away with fire grab go for it. Using CE to bait a dodge and get some damage from Air swap (air 15 trait points). I used to run 0 15 0 25 30 Zerker to beat other D/Ds FOTM builds. Traits for defences, Zerker to get the damage out. I also used to use Teleport and Cleansing Fire offensively, not as stun breaks

Ontopic:
Make Earth Shield instant cast and break stun on summon as well as AOE KD where it lands.

@TGS by Earth Shield I’m assuming you mean Conjure Earth? If so I agree fully, our conjures should all do something when summoned instead of just FGE and FA.

Yea that’s the one. Flame Axe is like a 24 second burn, if you can hit anything with it. Not sure if the bow chills, never tried to hit anything with it, its my start with bow 5 then drop weapon. Was good for bunkering out of the ring strat, but usually I replaced it with armour of earth, cant go past 24 sec of protection (nerfed)

The stun breakers had to be moved and we picked up an additional stun breaker with arcane shield which was good IMO. I still see people use cleansing fire but its mostly staff Eles now. I might give it a go again actually as I want to use signet of restoration over ether but the necro is everywhere.

Nothing changed for me.
I still use mist (obvious escapes) Armour of earth (because using LF doesn`t guarantee earth 5 working, as you can get sneezed on & it is cancelled) & Cleansing Fire as it is the only immob` remover.
tbh they should`ve removed stun break on armour more then any of the others.
