Salutations folks, Im running my Condi-Gen313 build with S/D A/T and i love it…except one thing….if i get rooted to the ground im royally Effed…

Im running entangle so i dont have RaO…what are my options? does the signet that removes conditions get rid of being “rooted” to the ground? I thought my lightning reflexes got rid of it because its a stun breaker..but nope…any immob. kicks my kitten unless our group guardian is around.

If i can solve this issue my build will be fundamentally perfect. So let me know if there is a way to gain stability or a skill to use to prevent from being immob’d

You know that you still can evade while being immobilized? You’re running S/D, which means you should be able to evade most attacks until you’re again able to move.

e: and yes, signet of renewal or empathic bond should remove immobilized

Stability doesn’t give immunity to immobilize, it’s a condition only way to get out of it is to cleanse the condition but also like Grayback said you can still use weaponskills that have evade for example just not normal dodges.

Use food that reduces condition duration by -40%. Use Hoelback Sigil thats another -20%.

Immobilize is annoying. You have to cleanse it or use an evade skill until its gone.

If you’re stuck in binding roots, and you have more -condition duration than they have +condition duration, you can move/dodge out of the roots after the immobilize goes away. You must be quick about it though, and get out before the next pulse.

You can also just kill the roots. Several swings of you sword is all it takes.

True, will take a few extra swings if you have a condition damage based setup though and if you don’t have a cleanse avalible and need to instantly get out I find a petswap and setting pet on the roots is pretty effective a Jaguar will free you literally instantly, good thing to remember sometimes.

ohhh not a bad idea! i run river drake and wolf. so if i switch to drake focus the root and have the pet attack he would do his whirl finisher and kill the root and hurt all the idiots trying to jump on me. ill have to give this a whirl.

Also on a new topic…..when i get downed i try to switch to wolf and fear the people off of me….IT NEVER WORKS! lol is there a secret to doing it correctly?

maybe You need tto do that just before going to downed – like this “selv revival” elite called “Spirit of Nature Renewal”

anyway I overcome this problem like this:
drps healling spring – keep running.
more problematic when HS is on cd – then I try to dodge out.

Would love to help you with the wolf but I have no idea in fact I stopped using my wolf months back because it simply never ever used the freaking fear when commanded to I might add I had been using him and his fear successfully for a very long time before that then suddently he just stopped working for me and I haven’t used him since.

I dont know why you cant control your wolf when down, but the most likely problem is your pet-swap is on CD which is why you cant swap.

Also with thr wolf F2, if you have a target selected when you hit F2 your wolf will run over to that target before using its howl, which again, is the most common cause of people not being able to make it howl when and where they need it to.

Ontopic though… As other said, if you dont have the condition removal to get out, then just hack at the vines and evade whine still in them if needs be.

hmm….. What do you guys think about a new trait “Evade for 1 (dunno about balance but this can be changed) seconds when immobilized (20s cooldown)”
