Guild Wars 2

I equipped this trait to try it out in the SW, free stun break and buff every 40s while I mindlessly farm stuff. Pretty cool right? I have never seen it work. Anyone else have this problem or can give me more information? Thanks.

It triggers on blinds and disables. Knockdowns apparently are not considered disables. Stun, Daze, Fear triggers perfectly fine, but you’ll still get knocked around and down from those effects.

I’m going to bug it then because disabled = stun, daze, knockdown, knockback, launch, float, sink, fear. It should work on all of those and it doesn’t look like it is.

This trait isn’t even on the Wiki page of traits that activate due to a control effect… interesting. Seems like it’s been overlooked in more ways than one.

It has a 40s ICD like you said, if it triggered on even the slightest disable, i.e blind, then you’re gonna be without it for the next 40s. I’ve noticed this happen to me quite often in WvW. Get blinded, triggers, get knocked down, rekt. It also will only break your stun/knockdown if THAT’S the ability it triggers on.

I assumed that’s how it worked, but it does give you the Goggles buff right? I never saw that buff on my character in SW when I was trying it out earlier. I never recovered from a stun either, and I don’t even think there’s any blind in the SW to use it on.

it gives the blind immunity.

take a camp with it in wvw. and by that i mean quickly, by LOS’ing everything to 1 spot. the scouts use a smoke field pretty much immediately.

its really good for camp running.

The only buff it should give you is fury, you don’t see a buff for blind immunity, you just won’t be able to be blinded for the 10s duration. And I was just using blind as an example of one of the least noticeable disables, it could have been a daze, or a fear, the list goes on. But once it’s on CD, unless it’s a blind(which you’re now immune to for 10s) then your SOL.

Dust Storms blind, and the Leechers can fear if you don’t dodge out of the red circle, but outside of that nothing triggers it. Did you get hit by either of those and not get it?

When I first tested it I was questioning it’s value as well as I tested in SW, but knowing more about it now I see why I wasn’t noticing much effect.

If knockdown and knockback is not triggering the trait wouldn’t you consider that a bug? “Disabled” is a pretty consistent term throughout the rest of the game. If you look it up on the wiki (or Protection Injection) it should include every kind of CC there is.

you don’t see a buff for blind immunity

yes you do, a little utility goggle icon

@ below: roll swamp fractal and walk over a tripwire if you cant find a friend to knock you down. 1 hour flood control. :/

Hmm I must not have noticed it, I know it’s working for other disables because I notice a fury buff out of nowhere, with the amount of disables, I figured I was just unlucky when getting knocked down, that it was still on CD. What would be the easiest way to test if it procs on knockdown before any other disables go out, a duel with a friend?

Not saying it isn’t, just saying it does seem to work consistently, just not on knockdowns and such.
