purple chain cc ?
I don’t recall that we have any skill with a purple chain.. It might been blue chains? Guardian scepter can immobilize for 2s.
As for our roots.. Sword #3 is all I can think off the head.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
purple chains show immobilization. It’s not a specific skill.
Swap, skill number three on sword, second activation.
Playable Tengu please!
This is indeed Sword #3. This also means “Mesmer is in melee range”. Just use your class’ knockback/stun/blind/whatever because Sword #2 is likely coming, and that hurts.
Typically I stun immediately before swapping so an enemy has to blow both stun break and immobilize clear if they’re on separate cool-downs.
But there is a VERY small window between swap and blurred frenzy, half a second at absolute most, unless the mesmer is faking you out. (I’ll swap into distraction to fake out someone’s stun breakers and status clears if blurred frenzy is on cooldown. There’s always Magic Bullet to lock them down into frenzy.)
But yes, Mesmers ONLY immobilize is Swap, so it’s guaranteed that if they use it, they’re in melee range.
IF mesmer caught you in Chains, your best bet is to burn some defensive utilities/skills as damage they can deal to you can be up to 75% of your overall health.
