Guild Wars 2

I’m talking to some guildies right now and we were debating on whether Well of Precognition prevents capturing. Some of them have tested this apparently and say it prevents it for a second, but I recall reputable and well known mesmers on these forums saying it doesn’t because it’s blur and not invuln. I think we’re getting confused because Distortion says “Evade all attacks” and has the same icon as blur, yet it gives invuln. Then there’s blur from sword 2 and WoP that also “evade all attacks”, and actually give evade.

So what’s the deal? What actually prevents capturing?

Yes, Distortion Prevents your from Contesting/ capturing a point, Well of Precognition is bad and should only be used as a Last resort, since it will affect all team mates, while Blurred Frenzy only stops you from contesting.

Oh kitten , at least test things out before spouting drivel on the forums. (edit: not aimed at you, op, in case that was unclear)

Distortion prevents capturing. Well of precognition provides blur, not distortion. It does not prevent capturing.

Blur, given by precog and blurred frenzy, is an evade, not an invulnerability like distortion.

Awesome. That’s what I thought was the case. But needed to confirm for them. Consider us all better informed mesmers. Thanks!

Whoops my bad, wasn’t meaning to misinformation people, last time I used Mesmer in pvp it was before the distortion change. Now I know better
