Guild Wars 2

-Huge gamebreaking mechanic, where you pull your foe towards you.. but when pulled your foe passes trough you and lands behind you making any LOS or instant fail to cast. iow.. make the enemy drop in front of you like it should be… and is as any other profession.

-Also Rooting.. Rooting is one of the biggest enemy of necros because we basicly have little to no solution to counter them when holding a staff.. if 4 seconds stun isn’t enough a root can last forever since weapons are on cooldown. and it would be rediculous to change an entire build to counter one skill/passive.

Please fix, reporting it doesn’t work i guess.

Well, root is only a problem if your heal is down, your staff 4 is down, and assuming you use OH dagger, dagger 4 is down. This used to give me fits, until I realized you need to hold onto one of those at all times if a ranger is around.

And frankly, in the world of engineers with perplexity runes, you should want to hold on to 2 of those at all times, considering how much confusion they can put out.

Yeah it is irritating, and if they catch you with all 3 on cooldown, you can always use DS2 to get out as well, or DS4 to kill the roots if you are power. We have a lot of ways to get out of roots without even giving up a utility.

Hold on, Are you telling me that i can just plague send the Roots away?
-Staff 4 doesnt do much.. if anything at all.. need something to trigger it.. and send the condition to..
-DS #2 doesn’t stunbreak. then again DS #4 could siphon it..
-Healing on root is not the way you are supposed to get out of it though ..

I might have to experiment with root a bit now..

No. Plague will just cause you to sit in the roots while plagued, as it doesn’t remove immobilize, which is what is keeping you there.

If you got hit with binding roots, there is a ranger and a ranger pet nearby. Hit them with mark 4, and it removes your immobilize and you can dodge roll out.

DS2 doesn’t need to be a stun break, as roots is not a stun, it is an immobilize, which means all you need to do is get out of the hitbox of the root, which you can do with a short range teleport (DS2).

Consume Conditions removes all conditions, then dodge roll, out you go.

You are talking about Binding Roots right? The elite from rangers?

yes sorry terminology is not my strong feat.
good to know, thanks ppl.

Plague signet should remove the immobilize, but the thing is the immobile pulses, so you only have a split second to dodge out after you send away the immobile on you before it procs again, Immobilize is a condition, so anything to remove conditions from you will break you free (only temporarily though if you don’t move out of it).
