Guild Wars 2

I’d like either a fix or a buff to this to allow it to break stun and immobilize. Even if you retain slows and such, please allow it to perform its function of letting you leap back regardless in addition to breaking the stun.

check if it works under water

I prefer to have it work on cripple and chill as well.

or you could just run renewal.

Signet of Renewal? I dunno, it’s dodgy. Yeah it breaks stun, but unless your pet is nearby, your conditions aren’t going anywhere.

I noticed while stunned, as the tooltip said it was supposed to, that it DOES NOT break stun. I thought the problem was perhaps on my box.

It’s a skirmish breaker for me, as my glass cannon build barely survives Thieves’ uncanny insta-close-gap > insta stun> insta high dps abilities without a working Lightning Reflexes.

I agree with the OP. It needs to break stun/immoblize, disregard status to launch the ranger back. But I think it also needs to put a 2 second stun on the target that the electricity hits.

Most people stun you, and if you roll back they just gap close immediately. For a survival utility it needs to do more than it does currently. When Anet talks about quality of life improvements, this is what I’m expecting.

Vigor looks good on paper but if you’re spamming LR, chances are you’re empty on vigor anyway and it won’t fill up before you get killed. Plus you can get vigor via a sigil. That tells you the sad state our utilities are in

Get rid of the vigor boost and give it stun instead. It makes sense from a design and game play point of view. I actually thought the utility was broken the first time I used it since I saw my target get zapped by electricity but didn’t get stunned….then I read the tool description and thought, lol who came up with this? It’s so counter intuitive.

That’s a great idea, if LR stunned I might actually keep it on my skillbar. As is it’s just a second shortbow 3, but without the swiftness.

i love lightning reflexes it is a great utility skill and if they got rid of the vigor then that would screw up the ability and make it useless, although it would be nice if it broke immob, i dont mind it the way it is
