I’ve been playing Condi Herald for sPvP and the only problem I run into is I have no break CC. In fact Shiro has the only break CC I know of. How does everyone else handle this?

The build I’m using:

Sadly invocation is a must especially in PvP. It breaks CC if you swap legends.

Every legend still needs a utility to break stun. Ventari has none. Jalis has only one at the elite and glint has to double tap its skill to actually work.
Even the new legend has its stunbreak on the heal which makes no sense.

Only Shiro and Mallyx have Stunbreaks on the Utilities.

Literally every stance has a stun break + Invocation gives you a break on legend swap.

However, that doesn’t help with immobilize (if it’s covered with other condis) which is probably what you meant? If you’re playing condiherald like you said tho, Mallyx gives you plenty of access to resistance which will negate immob. If you’re stuck in Glint, you can Facet of Light or Block out the duration of it as immob doesn’t stop you from using skills.

Thanks guys. I’ve got the cycling/clearing conditions down but it is the immobilize I’ve been having issues with. Especially facing rangers who seem to have an endless array of CC. I thought invoking a legend was the elite skill, didn’t realize I could legend swap (just returned to the game from a 2 year break).

Swapping legends won’t save you from immobilize unless it’s the only condition on you though, since it’s actually a condition that needs to be cleansed, not a CC that can be broken. I mean, TEEECCCHHNICALLLY legend swap also cleanses one condition, so it CAN get the immob, but that’s all up to RNGeebus.

That’s probably the biggest reason why Shiro is basically mandatory for WvW roaming… Without it you’re easy prey for all those roaming condi thieves and their gross immob spam. Even if you’re playing condi herald, you should probably run with Shiro on until you get to your group, then swap it out for Mallyx or Glint.
