Guild Wars 2

Hi my dear rangers. Just to make things clear, I do not wanna QQ arround here about smth I find broke. I have just a question, and for you are rangers, you might be able to help me, deal with you in WvW.

I have leveled a necromancer to lvl 80 and use currently a high condition dmg rabid build. Now what happened is, that I have encountered several rangers, who use Entangle on me. With my mesmer I have no problems dealing with that, for either blurred frenzy can kill the binding roots quickly or I just blink out of them. However, my necromancer has no teleport, and due the fact that I go for cond dmg, I have no way of killing the roots in time to get myself free resulting in the ranger going GS and just hack away on me till I am dead.

So my question, how can I deal with that? Is a condition remove enough to break free, if timed right, or do the roots hold me in place themselfes and not only the immobelize?

Thanks for the help

I am rarely on the receiving end, but I think the wines keep applying the immobilize until you destroy them. If you run into another one you get the immobilize again. Don’t think a stun break will be enough to break free, some kind of teleport, might do the trick like flesh worm, or spectral walk return. Or you enter deathshroud and use the skill that teleports youself to the foe if within reach.

Blind the ranger when you see the oh so obvious animation, and the entangle will miss.

Condi removal while pressing W. They apply immobilize every “tick”, so you can move out from it between them.

You welcome.

Necro got Entangle

You can…

Staff4 trade condi to foe.
Dagger4 throw condi to foe.
Consume Conditions eat root.
F1 and 4 destroy root.
Active Plague Signet trade condi to foe.
Spectral Walk walk out from root.

If you stay in more worst status with cooldown or none have that skill in slot just…

swing weapon to destroy root.

trasnfer to ranger (though the immob is very short anyway)/consume condition/convert condition> move out straight away (by dodge if you want to be absolutely sure)

dark path/flesh wurm/spectral walk (if caught whilst still in it) to TP out

DS4/dagger to destroy roots

… entangle is actually a very weak elite; but becomes effective against inexperienced players who dont know how to get out and/or walk back into the roots after getting out

thanks for the tips. I supsected the “error” in those egagements was on my part. It just happened very quickly all the time, so I was overwhealmed. Still have to get used to my necro.

F2 in deathshroud wasn’t an option in thos fights, because the ranger stood before right before my helpless necro. But it’s good to know, that a simple condition remove (and walking out of the roots of course) will get me free. And of those I have pleanty

I was thinking of flesh worm, but the cast time for the worm is soooooo slow and it itself is only usefully as szun breaker, if it survives. That blocks a slot for more usefull utilities. Spectral walk might be an option, but the timing must be very lucky for I’d have to cast it before the wines appear and the effect has to be still on, after they are cast.

However, I thank you guys for the help. It’s very appreciated.

A: Remove the immobilize condition and then get out of that same spot, since the binding root will reapply the immobilize if you keep standing there..
