Is the charge of a Champ like the Svanir one at the Dome “unblockable” >? Because my Sanctuary does not stop his charge and I get creamed :-(

Also, do you guys find Sanctuary useful in WvW much ?

Champions have a thing called “Defiance” and “Unbreakable Something”.

Defiance is a buff that has X stacks, and every Control action he receives, he loses a stack. When he’s out of stacks, he’s vulnerable to Control.
This means he’s immune to pushbacks, pulls, knockdowns and other stun-like effects until his Defiance stacks are over.
He probably charged through your Sanctuary, but he lost a Defiance stack. If he were without them, he’d be pushed back for certain.
(Edit: Also, when he takes a Control action without Defiance stacks, his stacks are reset. This is to avoid him being permanently out-of-action with the spam of these skills.)

Unbreakable Something now works differently, there’s only a few monsters in the game with it, and grants total immunity against these type of Control skills.

Unshakable is the buff that gives monsters stacks of defiance when they’re hit with control skills. Some monsters have permanent stability (earth elementals) others are just immune to control skills (treants).

Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos

Consecrations can be useful in static situations in WvW like defending keeps/camps and such, they may see a lot of play in sPvP where you have to bunker on points but for me they are too cornercase in WvW.

I run all shouts, combat in open field(i mainly roam in a small man) tends to be highly mobile making consecrations next to useless for my playstyle. I can take my shout buffs with me, the consecrations get left behind wherever i placed them.
