Guild Wars 2

As title says, shouldn’t mallyx have a stun break considering it is basically THE Condi stance and also that it is very susceptible to focus fire once a revenant invokes into him without invocation equipped? I feel that each stance should have a SB somewhere, and this imo is why so many revs use shiro for his amazing utility/mobility not to mention his 0 CD SB. Even jallis has a SB even though it is his elite as well as glint on a 20 second break if I had to pick a SB id take the Condi pull skill as the SB mostly due to its passive nature among the other skills which all inflict damage in some form..

What do you guys think yes or no for mallyx SB? If so what skill and why or why not.

Yes, he should, but they might want to do something about Retribution + Enhanced Bulwark + FoN first since people already hate the perma Stab that’s possible. Along with that Stun Break(which should definitely be Pain Absorption), they could just get rid of the silly Condi absorb. If we aren’t going to be encouraged to hoard conditions, why do we have a skill that pulls them all to you? Make it cleanse in an AoE and apply a much smaller amount of AoE Resistance that DOES NOT scale(this is the very same mechanic that was removed from Mallyx!) with the amount of condis you pull and reduce the cost a bit.

Potentially just make Enhanced Bulwark grant AoE Protection when you block/evade a skill on an ICD since right now it only synergizes with Retribution/Jalis as is(forcing another spec/legend) and the VERY few AoE Stability sources in this game.

I rebember how everyone thought that enhanced bulwark is a trash trait and now its basically meta.. Till we dont get proper stunbreaks across the board and access to real stab ability (road go kitten yourself) they better stay away from my precious trait.

At one point im not sure if Mallyx should get stunbreak tho. People may scream that he has no counterplay. I wonder if there are any plans to rework him at all.

I always thought it was a dumb trait. Synergized very well with Retribution(and old Jalis Road…), but it’s GARBAGE without Retribution(2 entire lines just to make this work, ain’t that awesome…).
It should just be reworked which should also remove some of the Viper Rev’s hate and return some of its weaknesses.

All good points w the stab spam n stuff but lets keep on point w mallyx guys i want to get this out in the open so we see some changes…(lol yea maybe in a few months mallyx will get a 2% increase in dmg cause why not.

Well, you have to discuss this because giving Mallyx a Stun Break along with the easy Stab that Revs can get access to now will only cause more issues.
