Guild Wars 2

I don’t see this on the front page of topics at the moment, but we already knew that the defiance bar was rather fragile. However, to be broken by a single hammer #3 or GS #4 from warrior is just silly.

I noticed that i could completely destroy enemy defiance bar while playing warrior with just these 2 skills. I also found out that ALL soft CC affects the defiance bar for players. This means blinds, immobs, and chills will too. I have yet to see a single shield #5 go off in PvP without being broken.

Proposed changes:

- In my opinion, soft CC should NOT affect the shield at all, but if anet believes it must, then at least make it more than ONE single cripple.

- It should take at least 3-5 times more soft CCs than hard CCs to break the defiance bar in my opinion.

I’m 99% sure its bugged.

Mainly because it seems the break bar can take multiple hits from hard CC but only one hit from cripple. Like, I’ve been using Shield in the Silverwastes and I can tank an entire charge from a Teragriff like nothing, but the second a Hyena pops that cripple, insta-break. It just doesn’t make any sense. The devs have said different things will subtract a different amount from break bars, but I’d assume soft CC is supposed to be the least, not the most.

Yeah, this is just stupid. Hopefully they fix it. Revenant is insanely fun to play though. Shiro/herald sword/shield hammer is super fun.
