Guild Wars 2

hi guys, post patch, entangle seems to be behaving very strangely. the roots tank over 6k damage (a maul for example doesn’t always kill the roots), very hard to break. condi clears also often don’t work, and im quite sure I got locked out of my abilities a few times too (without another source of CC, like taunt or fear, etc.). when I slotted entangle on my condi builds, I noticed people struggling to get out of it as well, much moreso than before the patch.

did anyone run into this as well or am I just a bad?

Maybe the health of the roots got buffed. The roots also cannot be critically hit (correct me if I’m wrong)

As for locking you out of your abilities: If you get immobilized in midair, you become unable to use any skills that aren’t instant cast. It’s a bug that’s been around as long as the game, and likely won’t be fixed any time soon.

^ that’s possible yeah, I was probably swooping. it does seem that the root HP got massively buffed. sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds to get out and often that means death.

Honestly that’s probably better considering it is an elite skill. It was just way too easy to break before. It’s still pretty useless against warriors or anyone with stealth.

I did get caught by it when I was running a melee build and my maul didn’t break me out, but I was just caught off guard. It will be very easy to counter now that I know 1 maul won’t work.

we pretty much need to have a condi cleanse saved, otherwise RIP.

i have the feeling sometimes the roots doesnt trigger well, i got few times since patch that they should hit and no vines come out
and no, no blind or condi immunity

I’ve had that happen plenty of times, usually in WvW. I chalked it up to my opponent being out of range even though the server showed him as being right next to me.

Basically the same thing that happens with trying to revive or stomp someone that isn’t where they appear to be, or the unkillable ghost yaks.

I believe if you block or dodge at the time of the skill activation it won’t spawn vines on you.

Entagle is bugged but in general it favors ranger;

1 – cant hit stealted players (disadvantage and the olny one)
2 – vines spawn earlier than the skill ends making it nearly impossible to dodge in the middle of a fight unless you dodged it by a luck
3 – and most important, immo last 10seconds when in reality its supposed to be 5sec olny according to the tooltip.
4 – ranged attacks cannot hit it, it is not affected by condi or crit either

Conclusion; entagle is broken and needs to be fixed.
