Guild Wars 2

Phase smash is a fairly slow and obvious skill that roots you in place where you start the skill leaving you vulnerable as you can’t react to incoming attacks during the animation. So you are left to take the hits at your original spot even through your character is flying through the air and apparently phase shifting which traditionally in fantasy allows for passing through objects unharmed.

Unrelenting assault is somewhat similar in that you just have to take the hits until it’s done then react even if it would be better to back off.

It would be nice if we had a trait that provided protection when we’re out of phase (and flying through the air) with reality or zipping around super fast with UA, or perhaps some flat damage reduction/evades on the skills.

At the very least the ability to press esc to cancel the skills to dodge quickly.

yeah ! i get killed everytime in PvP because of that … the enemy has just to spam AOE attacks to kill me while using Phase smash (hammer 3) or Unrelenting assautl (sword 3)

Those phase skills gets even more useless if you use them in wvw it can instakill you and thereby you rather just don’t ever use them.
As Dinsy said some kind of protection or even evade are really necessary for those phase skills. Rev still feels a bit squishy and this would be a nice mechanic to avoid dmg.

yeah ! i totally agree
