Guild Wars 2

The guardian has several skills that create a line that “Enemies cannot cross”.
Staff #5 and Hammer #5 for example.

These are fun abilities and could be extremely useful……but they dont work as advertised.

I see enemies fall down when they hit the line only get right back up to run through it. This makes the line a nice knockdown but fails to serve the original intent.

My question:
Is this a bug or a feature? Should we not expect the “Impassable Line” to be Impassable.

If I recall correctly, Champions aren’t affected by certain CC moves…or it might just be when they’re surrounded by people. That might be what you’re experiencing. The hammer #5 doesn’t last too terribly long (kinda wish it was a symbol, tbh), so sometimes if they don’t hit the line until two seconds in, it’ll disappear by the time they’re back up. As far as I can tell, if it isn’t either of these things then it’s prolly a bug.

They are running through it if they have stability active, that’s how all guardian area denial abilities operate.

Gah, forgot about stability =p

I’ve run through lines without stability.
Speaking about WvW and sPvP, not sure about PvE.

Try it and see how easy it is to run through after you bounce the first time.

How bout the ring of warding?(Impassable Circle that traps you)

Same Prob with ring of warding. It only traps people till they fall down and run out of the circle….in pvp.

Bug?Wonder if the devs knows this? Planning to use that on WvW.

Edit : I’ve played dota2 or if some devs played Disruptor – “Kinetic Field” would be fine baseline.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

Most of the time it’ll keep an enemy out, but you have those cases where an enemy falls down, and gets up and is already past the ring/line because they fell OVER the ring/line.
