I need some advice. In playing in WvW, I’ve been using Mist Form as a means to escape when caught up in the Zerg, but seems like every time I do, I’m immobilized. So, when’s the best time to use this skill? And, what else can I do to get out of being caught, besides the Lightning port?

Super speed from “One with the Air” helps alot, especially when paired with “Fresh Air”.

What build are you using though?

You are playing a frontline build. If you are not in a party that gives stability you are doing it wrong. My recommendation is to play staff and play a mid support. Use look behind to cast while you run away. Sounds like you are getting caught in damage with no stability or cleanse

What Frowny said basically

I can’t say too much for a healer tempest as I’ve been mostly roaming as a zerk/marauder S/F core ele the majority of the time. Superspeed with cantrips is usually sufficient to get me out of most situations.

As flashy as DD is, an alternative could be to replace D/D with D/F.
Earth 4-5 would provide you emergency reflect+ 3 instant condi clears followed by the 3 second invuln. On top of that, a further 6 seconds of projectile hate from Air 4 should at least give you some breathing room on top of your invuln from mist form.

One trick to avoid immobilize is basically to use mist form pre-emptively before the attacks hit or have some form of regen constantly pulsing. Soothing Disruption should be a way to cleanse immobilize unless you got condi bombed (as ur using a cantrip in the first place), especially used in conjunction with cleansing water
