Guild Wars 2

I thought first this skill is for PvP but, there are 2 encounters in Fractals where you can abuse the unblockable mechanic, which is very helpful. We can do this with unblockable marks but meh.

1) Thaumanova Reactor Fractal : Champion Subject 6 “Shield Form”. Instead of waiting, you just interrupt the boss and DPS him down.

2) Volcanic Fractal : Legendary Imbued Shaman “Shield Bubble”. Stun/Chill/Slow the boss. He is never going to reach a NPC even with bad DPS groups.

Anybody knows more encounters like this, where unblockable attacks are helpful? Maybe later in Raids this is going to very important.

It can help in the Aetherblade Hideout Fractal when fighting the golems at the end, I guess.

There’s a bunch of those moments where unblockables are quite helpful, sadly I don’t remember most of them right now. Still highly situational.

The captain in Ascalonian fractal, at the beginning he blocks some attacks, I’m unsure if he blocks more attacks later.

Not a fractal, but HoTW boss after the troll boss, it can let you bust through his block stacks. I can totally see two reapers with quickness GD him down if given quickness below 50%.

Who else bets that the high level fractal bosses start getting break bars and skills like this become useless

Thanks to the defiance bar those mobs can’t be interrupted and are immune to Stun/Chill/Slow.

I doubt NCSY will see any use in PvE, unless they add a Raid boss specifically requiring unblockable attacks.

NCSY works well against multiple trash mobs. I think it was designed for PvE 1vX and had boon strip and Unblockable added to support PvP.
