Guild Wars 2

Since the patch I’ve been dying while casting Renewed Focus and Shelter aswell.
This never happened before. Renewed Focus should make you invulnerable to all damage while casting and Shelter should block all incoming attacks while casting.

Yet when I’m on very low health and cast either, I occasionally die and I’m not sure why.
It’s possible that RF is bugged and doesn’t make you immune to condition damage if you have one ticking on you when you start casting.

Anyone else notice this?

i think it u have conditions on u, they will continue to tick.

u are dying now maybe when u didn’t before because conditions are stronger than before, so they are ticking bigger/faster and taking u out

This would make sense for dying while casting Shelter but Renewed Focus? No.
RF is meant to make u invulnerable. If you’re invulnerable, you don’t take condition damage. Seems bugged to me.

if u are in game atm, then look at the combat log and see if your invul pops up before/during whatever kills u

could just be a lag type thing

You take damage from conditions you have on yourself while being invulnerable, it’s not bugged. Look at second sentence of this page : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invulnerability

“It does not prevent damage from existing conditions, fall damage, or environmental traps.”

As was said above, Invuln does not stop conditions on you from ticking, it only stops any applications on you during that time. If you have 10 stacks of burning, your still going to die sadly. It has been this way since launch and is not a bug, Just like the warrior stance that stops application, doesnt actually stop already ticking damage.

OK thanks for the replies. Still thinks it’s kindda silly to use the word invulnerable if conditions can still damage you but if it’s always been like that then there’s not much to be said

Why not add 3 seconds of Resistance on activation?

Could be done with HoT. Thought if it may make RF too strong?

its only a 2 sec skill on 72 cd, but people qq about how guards have too many invulnerable skills. add resistance and the following nerf to guards would make it a 2 sec cast, 1 sec invul, and we get knockdown after the 1 sec of invulnerablility for 3 secs.

then anet would say, on the ground dead, is a good spot for guards
