Guild Wars 2

I play an elementalist. I have been doing it for awhile so I have a good idea on what stun breaks or weapon skills to use to evade or stop barrages against me. The one that I have the most trouble with is getting caught from behind with the mesmer sword 3 2 combo. Are there any skills that allow the mesmer to be interrupted during use of the combo or does distortion protect them from all counters?

The Sword2 skill gives invulnerability, so… they can’t get interrupted, no.

Skill #3 got killed even more this last patch.. It no longer cripples on land and is extremely buggy to begin with.. If you are fighting the mesmer and have any sort of z-axis advantage the clone won’t even make it to you. But iLeap is the only time you will see something charging at you immediately dodge and the mesmer will do a blurred frenzy into air.

The easiest thing to do is avoid the iLeap, it’s really buggy. Other than that you can break out of the stun, but you can’t interrupt a mesmer doing a blurred frenzy.

iLeap isn’t a stun, merely a cripple (well, not even anymore) followed by an imobilize. So any condition cleanse will allow you to walk out of blurred frenzy range. The mesmer is rooted while doing it, like the warrior HB, so he’ll just hack & slice air while you get your CD back

Cast Lightning Flash behind the Mesmer. Start channeling churning earth while we’re stuck in blurred frenzy, then earthquake after your CE goes off.

umm as ele/mesmer player doesn t seem good.

Churning earth is one of the easiest skills to dodge and most mesmer bars are filled by stun breakers (i have 3 out of 3 usually on my mesmer).

it just setups the best couterplay for mesmers better using some fire condition…..

I’d go water 4-2-3 then fire….

Many mesmer suffers conditions they have arcane thievery OR the field but aside that i don t see them cleansing cond twice (that is why i use sigils to do that <.<)

Also you caninterrupt it with lightning 5 on D/D …
Mesmer needs time to teleport then needs 0,5 seconds to the skill to start….
You will often catch him (on prediction) in the vulnerable time….
