Guild Wars 2

Recently in WvWvW I have come across several players (A Guardian, Ranger and even an Elementalist) where I have tried to use Spectral Grasp and been met with the message ‘Target is immune’ ??
Why is this?
If they have immunity to this, then I want immunity to Bulls rush or back stab or Mesmer clones… Only fair.

You have it or at least access to it on elites. Stability

Your target had stability, which nullifies every cc skill for its duration. Your options are either to wait for the buff icon to disappear or you try to strip the boon. The icon looks like a tower.
Stability also grants immunity to the knockdown component of bull rush. You can get it via 30 points in Soul reaping but need to use it proactive. It does not remove effects like stun or daze, it only grants immunity to them beeing applied.
Mesmer clones can be “negated” via reflect skills to some extend. But necro doesn’t have access to those. DS + Doom or standing on Mark of fear can help to some extend vs a thief trying to attempt a BS. Plague and blindspam can work too.

Ahh I did not realise Stability Nullified Spectral Grasp… All makes sense now thanks

:-)

Actually if the target has stability it still hits just doesnt pull (it does have the chill component). But all of those classes have a (elite/utility/weapon) skill (respectively) that makes them immune, thus showing the message since immunity negates all types of connection and locks away enemy components on the player.

Last few days (I know must just be random) have had so much luck with grasp.

I mean even pulling folks off stuff. That with d/d and the root is just simple kills..

Nothing beats that smartass ranger trying to plink you from up high.
