Guild Wars 2

I just finished the dredge fractle and i’m frusterated that i have no stun to interupt the last boss’s healing skill. the daze on wail of doom only removes a defiant stack but no interupt, same with fear and the fear mark. Any chance we could get a stun somewhere so i can help interupt skills in pve?

You can only interrupt him if all defiant stacks are gone, doesn’t matter which controll effect you use.
According to wiki: Float, Sink and Petrification ignore the Defiant effect.

Please read this, thanks.

True if there are no defiant stacks, the daze from wail of doom will interrupt the healing skill, but it wont interrupt if there are any stacks of defiant on. Where as stun interrupts the skill as well as removing a stack of defiant.

I’m upset that for that fight as a necro I am less effective at keeping the boss from healing and can;t stop the heal at any given time with a stun like a mesmer, ranger or warrior can

Get the debuff on it and any attack will interrupt the heal. Also poison helps a little too.

I’d like wrong answers for $1000.

If a champion has stacks of Defiant, knockdowns, knockbacks, pulls, launches, stuns and dazes all work exactly the same: they remove a stack of Defiant with no other effect. Fears almost do this, but the condition is actually applied and Terror damage still ticks.

So wherever you got the information that a stun will interrupt a boss with Defiant stacks is completely and utterly wrong.

That specific boss has weird interactions with its Defiant stacks and his heal skill, because of the way it’s supposed to be interrupted (normally when it has the superheated debuff, any damage will interrupt his heal). For example, at least as of a week or so ago, you can interrupt his heal with Illusionary Wave no matter how many stacks he has.

In general, no stuns/crowd control (except Basilisk Venom) will interrupt through defiant.

Gondor needs no stun…

Ice elementals defiant stacks dont work properly for some control effects. But in general you need to remove defiant stacks before you can interrupt a boss. Fear can be used for some. But bosses like lupi dont even get the fear condition applied so you cant use terror to damage him.
