Guild Wars 2

Due to how specialised each legend’s utilities are, certain legends have no stun breaks at all. The rest of the legends require huge expense of energy to stun break, such as 35 for riposting shadows and 40 for rite of the great dwarf. This makes incensed response (fury when break out of stun) really underused as revenant won’t have much chance of stun breaking.

On the other hand, even our dodge rolls, which grant stability when traited, may not be sufficient as revenant has little access to vigor. You’ll have to run double energy sigil as well as trait into retribution, which severely limit build diversity. On top of that you have to anticipate stuns (2.5s before stun!) and dodge beforehand, which you probably already dodge the stunning skill. This makes stability on dodge way too gimmicky and unrewarding. Even with enduring recovery, it is not rewarding enough to compensate vigor as gaining 25 endurance when get hit per 10s is very unpredictable.

I think we should start by lowering energy on those 2 stun break skills first to 30 energy. 35 and 40 practically make you defenseless or unable to launch any useful attack other than auto attack, especially in the middle of battle where you’re throwing other skills.

Lowering energy on stun break skills is one option, but players will still be limited to Jalis and Shiro. Maybe add stun breakers to banishing enchantment (Mallyx #7 ) and purifying presence (Ventari #8 )? We’ll have to remove cast times for them to be stun breaks though.

Adding it on banishing enchantment fits the theme as your confusions will punish people who want to attack you while you’re stunned. Adding it to purifying presence also justify its 35 energy cost as oppose to renewing wave (staff 4 only cost 15 energy and heals more), which helps you recover from stun. I know having instant condi cleanse is a bit powerful but given the skill requirement if you’re close enough to tablet is enough to justify it.

What do you guys think? Any other solutions that can address this?
